This channel is devoted to inline skating, which is my hobby and passion. On this channel I try to look at this activity at different angles, sometimes controversial and not very conventional. I’m open to a friendly chat and ideas sharing. Enjoy my videos.

Рука должна быть статична, иначе в момент ее движения назад камера приближается и кажется, будто ты стоишь на месте или движешься очень медленно
What about speed? Compared to 4x90 or 4x100?
GetN betR but still Have a lot to learn Hōmuwāku ga Owaranai
I dont care if its a hot day or if you feel like it. Maybe you wont fall 1000 times when you wear protection. But if you do fall without protection. IT CAN HURT. HINT: I BROKE MY RIB. Wear protection.
I love 3x110 on the 234mm powerslide frame. Still 4x90 with natural rocker by endless ist also sick. For longer distances i go 3x110 for more casual skating i stick to my endless frame.... I didnt like the 3x110mm flat setup on the endless frame since 270mm is just to long for my taste....
Nope nope nope. Tried cycling to work and was left with mental trauma from the distance sustained from motorists. The pathways are in no state to skate and the roads are far too dangerous. Not being sure where to skate is why I haven’t bought a pair yet.
Nice, but it's rather Mabrouk
Wizard skating is a scam
Hey there! 🎥 First of all, thanks for the great video! 👍 I really enjoyed it. However, I've noticed that when I try to do the magic slide, it automatically becomes a power slide. 😕 Can you please help me out and let me know what the problem might be
I had a folding bike for commuting. If it was raining I could fold it and use public transport. That's why the weight and the size of a bike in folded state is crucial. My bike wasn't the best in those characteristics so I got tired of it. Lately I've begun to roller skate just for fitness and I see the big potential in this kind of transport. Of course you have to be very good at roller skating to be able to commute. Roller skates demand having high level of fitness and skill. So we'll see how far I can get there.
So non-rockered would be better for beginners then?
Did you Heat Mold each skate to your foot and then do the comparison or did you just use them out of the box? It's all meaningless unless you heat molder what should be heat molded!
What is the actual millimeters of the rocker on endless 90 frames? Its like it's top secret information... they wont list it on their website or respond to emails. They say it's a "balanced" rocker which means nothing... No one will post the measurement online anywhere... Does anyone even know????
Im in the market for my first 90mm frames... so are you saying you have trouble making parallel turns with 90mm flat setup? Like what moves make it feel like theyre "built like a truck?" I feel like ppl who do wizard skating techniques bash the flat setups... but if u want to do wizard, then u should have rockered. And if u dont wizard, you should go flat. Am i wrong here?
an OIL slick spot on some wet leaves got me a few months back and i SLAMMED my Helmet on the concrete. i walked away unscathed but i got chills thinking about what if i wasnt wearing a helmet.
i like the Ennui sleeve gaskets! im not doing crazy tricks. i fractured my elbow once one time i wasnt wearing pads :(
❤️🔥
Yessir. thanks for the reminder!

for me i think my 3x110 (243mm) wheelbase i get speed, agility, and maneuverability. i am also only 5'5'' so the shorter wheelbase length frame allows me not to compromise my form quality
I think about getting the eskates from escend for commuting ^^ train/bus is now option And car. It doenst make fun anymore driving in germany dortmund... Horrible And i dont like bikes and their mostly.... Drivers ;p or how u wanna call them
I am lucky to have a bike path that goes all the way to my work from near my house and a bus route that can get me back if I’m to tired. It does get annoying with how bad your feet can get and how sore your legs can get after a week of skating but with a 3 x 110 setup for me I find it better than biking or walking. I could see how bad it would be for someone without an easy way home or to work without your skates as if something went majorly wrong you would just have to walk
Very interesting thoughts here... still don't know what would suit me the most but it helps
A good injury will keep you from doing what you enjoy. There are factors beyond a seasoned skater's control like a dog that pulls the leash out of a hand or the kid in front who makes a sudden lateral move. One of my crashes involved a slight downhill in a park, which I did not realize had been wet by a sprinkler, until it was too late. I was lucky to faceplant into turf and only suffer a sore rib for a few weeks. A bench or low wall might have killed me.....and I always wear protection. I see so many tutorials by good skaters who recommend protection, but don't wear it themselves.
1:03 Dude where is that park? I had a dream of a park that felt/looked like that a few years ago and as a West Coast American, I thought it might be on in the Northeast
I love my Endless 100. Right wheel size for speed, and slightly rockered for enough maneuverability. I also tried 125 wheels on it and I'm still not much used on it. 125mm wheels are just too heavy for me, I guess. But good thing Endless frames offer two available setups in just one frame set. I still use my 100mm wheels and I do daily on them as a bicycle alternative.
should i heatmold my tau boots with or without the insoles that came with the boots? should i skate my tau's with or without the insole?
Subbed!😁 I am changing from flat setups to rockered
Personally I budget extra time in my commute. And take different ways to work on inline skates to avoid it feeling like a commute and retain the urban skate session feel. So I'll cut through different downtown streets even though it's slightly out of the way
I have Hardcore Evo size 39 awesome boots, best skate I´ve tried for freeskate
I started commuting by bike because of the crowded public transport. When the weather is good and I am in the right mood, I will take my skates instead, this takes longer, but is way more satisfying. I think this way I will not loose my motivation to skate just for fun.
I prefer the flat setup rather than slalom 😂😂😂
I have skated (and still) flat, rockered, hockey, anti rocker setups and i would say its better to start off with flats to learn your foundations. Jumping straight into rockered setup is not wrong but you will lose some foundations. Hence why some wizard frames (or any alike brands like Endless, NN, YOYO etc..) say its for advance skaters. It would be an unpleasant feeling or a waste if you keep on falling on rockered setups. I mainly skate rockered on streets because i do a lot of wizard skating, provided that i started with flats and had no issues with basics. But this is your own experience which might differ from mine.
Your narrations on video are quite funny😊
I order Evo the new white version with flat frame 4x80 I try to do hard freeskate jumps, stairs etc no for slalom or wizard it is viable ? thanks preciated your help nice review :)
I 100% agree that rockered skates should be beginners friendly I honestly feel experienced skaters who give advice how to start skating for beginner skaters Have forgotten what is important for beginners nor the technical know how For example the biggest problem for beginners is stability when standing still and weak ankles. So why are people recommending 3x110 Especially for people with large feet they can mostly only get large wheel setups Despite everyone knowing the closer you are to the ground the more stable you are. And let's not talk about how frame lenght relative to your foot size changes everything aswell
Had a similar experience as jacob shared previously in the comment. A year ago, I fell backward while dropping in a skate bowl. I was wearing a spectacle. The impact was so heavy that the pads of my spectacle pad broke into my upper nose skin, and to other people, it was as if my eyes were bleeding. But I didn't know it, because I wasn't feeling any pain at all. All my head was blank. I was in a shock mode for more than a minute. To this day I felt lucky to have worn a helmet at that time, which totally saved my life. I haven't done dropping in the same bowl ever since, because the terrible memory kept floating in my head. Nowadays, every time when I saw a parent watching a kid, who is barely able to maintain balance, yet skates in a dangerous track, I would go up to the parent and advise him/her to buy a helmet for the kid.
Don't know this stopping method has a name. I accidentally did it while going down a slope. I tried to repeat it buy always ended up spinning a bit at the end. I am going to try your tip next time. Thanks for the video.
4x 80mm rockered or 4x90 mm rockered is the best all-around setups. 90mm for more long-distance speed and 80mm for more agility maneuverability.
Great review. You are a good skater. I’m still learning about rollerblading techniques and products. I just subscribed. ❤
is the blade frame one size? I'm a us 12 on the powerslide swells.
It was once size when I bought it few years ago. Worth checking if they changed it.
Actually they have now 2 or 3 sizes
3x125 Flying Eagle Ultrasonic frames on FR3.
i still trying the magic slide
I'm still perfecting it. Trying to make it more stable for stopping at a high speed. It's a tricky slide. But keep trying, you won't regret having it in your arsenal eventually.
Cool stuff, what gear are you using? And... what's up with the t-shirt? doesn't it slow you down?
The cheapest mask and snorkel I could find, similar not expensive fins. All in all my gear costs A$100. The shirt is for sun protection, otherwise I'll burn down into charcoal ;)
these frames look kinda out of place for slalom, I've mostly seen people on 243mm and 80mm wheels with banana setup :) However, I wouldn't be surprised that you made it extra difficult for you on purpose
Very true. I have slalom frames but felt too lazy to mount them. These are rockered frames for wizard skating, so it was doable 😅
💪💪👊👊It's quite difficult with such large frames to do slalom .
Also skating taus, wanna try slalom for those rainy days. How's wizard frame doing? Have you tried tau's stock frame?
Actually I bought tau without frame. Stock frame would be 243 nexus I guess? I have them, they are extremely agile. I like these ninja frames because they are suited for most styles, wizard, slalom to some extent and quite speedy too.
Re wizard frame, I have it but for 100mm wheels. I really don’t like that setup so never used it. Gotta sell those frames
@@nikoblading i think so, but mine came even shorter, it has 76mm wheels if I remember correctly, didn't like it at first, but it's so short it's impossible to clip wheels, great for slalom I guess 😂
76 should be good. I started with 80mm, then 90, then 110 and then I started going back. Now I’m back to 80mm my fav size. Won’t be surprised if I go even lower eventually
@@nikoblading 76 is only on that stock frame, I'll try it when I start doing slalom, I skate 125 and 90 nowadays.
I still on battle against MS
Really useful video! I have a flat 4x80 setup at present and was looking to move to 3x110 or 3x100 but you have got me thinking about 4x90 with a slight rocker. Thanks!
Wowww you absolutely put all my feelings into words about what's so fun about slalom and chaotic dancing on blades (and ice).... brains absolutely no idea what it's doing and there's a sense it shouldn't even be possible you now have one more subscriber :D
