Welcome to Deez Skates! This channel is skater owned and skater maintained! SUBSCRIBE to keep up with regular skating content, such as tutorials, reviews, unboxing, and general skill and tech info, as well as some of my goofy adventures! I love and do all types of skating, from Inline city, slalom, and speed to ice skating, and roller dance/jam skating in quad skates! I have a passion for it all! Subscribe and you won’t regret it! I upload content at least a few times each month (but often once a week) and love to spread skating in any way I can!
Yes i kept leaning forward when i rockered mine. But my turns and spins look like a pro. Not good for just vibe skating. For that i would keep them all one size.
I’ve been known to answer a question or two. I can’t promise I have the answer. I’m not doing a lot of roller skating these days. It’s been mostly about inlines and ice for me the past few year. But if it’s something I can’t answer I probably know who I can send you to.
Pretty smooth. I've been working on forward to backward and backward to forward transitions - trying to skate around the faceoff circle while facing the same direction the whole time. Anything backward on one foot is out of reach right now.
Thanks for posting this video. Im curious to know how tall the endless frame set up on a FRx80 skate is when compared to the stock FR frame (with the same size wheels for both set ups). Does the boot height end up being taller or shorter to the ground?
in albuquerque nm at rainbow gardens, during the 50s to early 60s, you would see "trucking" consistently done only by skate instructors or "the skate speed police" and 90% of the time they were males. LOL
I mean, *some* hubs can be easy to get bearings out of, but for anyone who has high end roller skate wheels with metal hubs? Good luck with that. I’ve been using aluminum hub speed skate wheels for over 30 years and never met a set that was even possible to pull bearings from by hand, let alone easy.
I started learning back in December at age 43, with my ultimate objective being to use skates to commute to and from gym on pavements and cycle lanes. I've been looking for a while for a video which covers things to consider when transferring to city skating (which will not happen for a while until I'm comfortable). This one has covered a lot of ground (if you'll excuse the pun)! Have a like!
I measured the length of my feet and looked at the size chart on the manufacturer's site and they recommended a size 10 or 11. I wear a 13 wide in most shoes, or a 14 Nike. I wore my buddy's size 13 rollerblades back in 90s and they were on the brink of being too small. I just ordered a 14 and I'm hoping for the best.
Short answer, yes and no. It’s Important to understand that the harness of the cushions/bushings are the main factor in how stiff your skate’s action is. Then you can tighten the nut on the kingpin to make small changes. If the cushions are soft, you’ll have more “swivel” and if they’re hard you’ll have less. Your body weight and advanced you are makes a difference as well. But to answer your question directly, you do not have to have loose trucks to do this. I am a light skater, and I tend to skate in the harder range of cushions. However, that’s because I put a lot of power through my skate. I wouldn’t recommend a light weight beginner to start on hard cushions.
I have 286mm feet, and I prefer 4x90 rockered slightly: it is much more stable than flat 4x80 and nicer to ride on non ideal surface. I tried 3x100 on low 246mn frames and they are quite fast and seem more stable than similar length 4x80mm. Additional height of 3x100 makes using them much less comfortable in traffic but I really aprieciate them for long distance on good surface.
Smiles it brings nothing but smiles I got them their crossfires love them thanks for the advice I'm going to be 64 this year and my whole life is like a roar peace to you my friend
For context (because we usually refer carbon skates as light). All my 4x80 setups weight around 1.5Kg per skate. (Twister XT, Powerslide Imperial, Oxelo MF500) and my 5x80 setup is about 1.9Kg (Twister XT 42 and Rockin 5x80). So a carbon boot doesn't necessarily means a lighter skate.
