I'm Brenden, a 36 year old husband + father of 2 with a passion for inline skating.
Why Thirty+Rollin?
When I hit my thirties I felt like it was the beginning of the end. Since then I have made it my goal to not let a number tell me what I can or cannot do. So, I decided to get back into something that most people in their thirties wouldn’t, inline skates! The second I put those skates on I was transported back to the days free of troubles and worries! And with that, Thirty+Rollin was born!
I hope my journey as a 30+ inline skater inspires others, to pick up some skates and get out there!

Best fitting RB I've ever had, old "Aero 9" with "IFS" fastening, a proto-BOA. An absolute glove. Newer stuff, not even close. Severe pain beyond an hour use.
Btw, not sure if these guys are paying you or not for promoting their product, but either way that info should be disclosed right before you make any comments about the product.
Not gonna lie, it looks like these would cause more damage on the impact than it would protect you from... Although I would use them without that plastic part inside.
I'm not much of an inline guy, but i do wear them while im skateboarding, and they take impacts very well! I personally preferred them without the plastic wrist saver, which i know defeats some of the purpose, but they definitely kept my hands from getting messed up on the concrete . I can't wait for version 2 and the new colors!
UPDATE: After talking with a few of you, it appears I needed to flip the plastic piece over to remove that wrist bone pain point. After doing this the gloves no longer have that issue and feel great!
i just got mine yesterday lol i wanted them mostly for the old skool aesthetic of paw gloves but they're decent for impact too. i was a lil sketched out by the plastic splint but my friends played with it and realized that they came backwards so switching that made the gloves way more comfortable and was able to move the wrist way more
The real question is... what would these be, for your wrist? Still sunglasses? Reproduction sunglasses? Imitation sunglasses? Tinted contacts? Ski goggles? Window tint? Those wooden glasses with the slit that natives wear in the Himalayas? Nostalgia pedants want to know.
“Rook: for when you’re not a pawn but you ain’t the king, either.” 😂 These days I’m mostly speed skating and I like Rollerblade’s cheap “blade gear” wrist guard because it protects the wrist and palms but the back is mostly open. It doesn’t collect sweat. I’ve taken two gnarly falls and they’ve worked. Unfortunately I wasn’t wearing anything on my knees and elbows, and the scars from my last fall are going to be with me for quite some time!
I truly wanted to like them. Great branding, excellent customer service. Mine ripped on the second session and then the third session got them so bad that the pad came out of the palm. I also ended up hurting my palm worse than I ever had with other gloves. In my experience the plastic palm splints do a much better job of taking impact and also keeping you sliding instead of absorbing all of the force directly. I'm rough on wristguards, but these were destroyed way quicker than any of the others I've tried over the years. I will say they are comfortable and look great. If you don't fall often like I do, I think these might be an okay option.
I wanted to make sure you flip the plastic guard on the inside before wearing bc they do that to fit in the package. I almost sent them back before fixing. I've been using these for a while and I like them a lot more than the triple 8 wristsavers. better movement, more comfortable to fall with. easier to slide and get back up with. will def keep using them for the foreseeable future.
U were absolutely spot on bruv..thwse frames paired with nn ronin wheels is pure joy. Coming from endless 90, the speed and agility is unmatched. The best frame for 165mm mount bruv

2:02 purchased these blades on Father’s Day, treat to myself. Roller blade about 4yrs ago for a short period however, when I tried these on for the first time, I recognised its comfort instantly. Over an hour blading that’s when it became a little discomfort but overall, 100% from a beginners view point ❤
Know your Distances and Reaction times! That is the Real life saver....which comes with experience. You should rarely have to "brake" per say.......you want controlled slow down. It just comes with experience like I said....no different than riding a motorcycle or driving a car.
I have the twister edge x from 2017 and those things murdered my feet, lol! I ended up getting the RB pro x back in 2022 but those are a tad too wide. Im hoping these XTs will fit well for me.
How close are you to forty and rolling?😂 Must be creeping up. I’m sixty and rolling… soon to be 70 and five years. Man the time is speeding by. I started rolling when I was 30 in the 90s when it was huge
Thanks for the video! Now I'm thinking that it's better for me to buy the best hard boot I can afford with 4x80 frame and then later to buy a 3x125 frame to be able to exchange them from time to time.. maybe later I'll buy hard boots also for the bigger wheels.. we'll see:)
Great video!! Just ordered these. I got current task to update my rollerblade macroblade 3x110 wheels and everyhting else, and the pricetag for all that was over 200€, so I spotted these Maxxum 125 from discount (300€), so it was easy decicion to order new skates. My first inlineskates was K2, and i didn't like those. Then updated K2 to rollerblade 4x90mm, next 3x110 and now waiting new Maxxum 3x125. I'm ice hockey player (not professional) and love to Do long distance trainings with inline skates after the ice hockey season has ended. Usually something between 20-50miles. Can't wait to have these new skates!
i started skating about a month ago and i already lost 2 kg (4.5 lb) its also fun but the sidewalk is killing me becouse its a diffrent patern (look up polish sidewalk and you know what i mean)
Old 5 wheel skater here going back to the Rollerblade Slalom Blades, then to offroad skating, coyotes, then my the monster skates Terrablades 200x50mm wheels. (kite,trail, and powered) youtube.com/@terrablader?si=hkLAV-vpsg1xeiOe Then a 5 wheel Bont Sniper 3 frame 84 with twister boots. Which 5 wheel frame would you recommend. I got the Endless Arc ES have not used yet I kind of like those dragons better, I just skate around now some hills.
I feel you maaan...! Put my shoulder out two years ago (falling forward off a ramp). SLAP tear, labrum torn, cartilage had to be anchored back in... I really empathise with how you're feeling and thinking about this injury. You probably know this already but strengthening ALL of your rotator cuff muscles is SO SO crucial. Bless and be safe; greetings from London..! Tom
I also started skating cause ive lost my parents in 2019 and 2021 , and got depression and anxiety. Rollerblading really got it for me and helped and still helping to this day
I've started skating in 2020, at the age of 40/41 something ahahaha I need to make my math here. But... My real first roller skates are the Rollerblade Cruiser 4x80 that I still have. Then, I wanted a faster one and bought a Powerslide Zoom Pro 3x100. I like it, but I didn't feel a bigger different, maybe because the stock Hurricane wheels are too smooth and they hold you back in comparison to the 4x80 stock rollerblade wheels. I love skating. It's a big part of my life now and I'm looking forward to get my third roller skates now: either àn FR skates FR 2 3x110 or a rollerblade Twister 3x110.
Love this short series you did for this. My wife and I started our training for the event this year in 2024. It has been a long time since we street skated. We both have a long way to go and a short time to get there. Love your channel and hoping for more content soon. It helps keep us motivated to skate. We are both pushing 50 and still using skating as a way to stay active.
