I want some big wheel inline skates. What size wheels are best? 

Recently got the rollerblade twister edge 3x110 after not skating for about 13 years (though i went for a short skate first time since about 3 years ago) and only on the usual 4x80 setup. I was surprised i got used to them almost instantly even after the long inactivity. The ride is smooth as butter and can coast seemingly forever while still retaining manouverability. Skates like a wetdream

At 2:40 Exactly what happened to me first skate on 3x100mm I went into my driveway and expected to slow down and I had to bail into the grass to avoid slamming my front entrance

I love 125mm. The best weapon against crappy surfaces and longer distances.

Great video as always. I will say as a size 11-11.5US, I love the K2 Sodos that have a 4*100 set up even for long distances. I just did a 15 mile skate on them and had a lot of fun with it. I am going to consider a 3*125 set up for sure though as that seems to offer even more glide like you mentioned.

I went from a 5x80mm to 3x125. I am loving it. Doesn't really feel any different compared to the old ones. (They are faster though) I just skate distances the bigger wheels are amazing on surfaces that aren't as smooth. Should have bought these(maxxum edge 125) way sooner. Had my 5x80mm for 14 years.

Great info. Thanks.

Great vid. Thanks!

Great video.

very helpful thanks!

4x90 is extremely fun. A good basic skate you can get at 4x90 is the K2 VO2 Pro.

I just ordered the Next 100 from Powerslide. Maybe I'm upgrading to 110 later, but going from 80 and can't wait to get that speed boost!

i am about to get a pair of blazer’s 125mm triskates, before i had a normal pair of standard 76mm 82a abec7 rollerblades and i always wanted to take them to the streets but the wheels wouldve gotten destroyed in an instant and it would be really unconfortable because of the vibrations so i am hoping to get those big wheels to get them out in the streets

Great video. Thanks

I got your compass 80mm frame set off of RW and tried it in downtown Greenville SC i must say 80mm is big enough for me i was not used to rolling that fast and at times I could not slow my self down enough to stop when rolling down a hill at even a 10 degree angle would send me flying down. Haha. I still cannot figure how to powerslide and well I dont want to ruin the wheels by V stopping too much so I just surrendered to the speed and hope a hill going up will stop me. But they are very smooth wheels and frames compared to the aggressive wheels i had it was like i was skating on clouds.

I've really been wanting to try the Kizer Tri Max frames, if I could get my hands on them in South America easily. Don't think my size 6-6.5 foot (depending on boot/liner) would allow for a comfortable ride on any longer wheelbase.

I do 20-25 mile trail skates three to four times a week on 4x80s. It's a hell of a workout.

Hi! Pura Vida !, I am 285mm foot and use skates 43-44. I want a 4x100 for SKATE CROSS, I do aggressive park skating with my M12s with Sola 4x58. We are starting races of Cross and most spots in Costa Rica are Dirt Pump tracks. I saw Clips on the WSX and guys even use like 80s and 90s but Im heavy as well like 90kgs You think those 4x100 will do the work?

I have a 28.5-29cm foot (wiggle room included) and want to do a mixture of urban/fitness skating, roller rinking (where I'll do slalom to dab on the quad-skaters who think you can't dance on blades), and a bit of wizard moves at the skatepark or w/e. I'm willing to give up the wizard moves, and I'm also willing to use "convertible" frames, for instance a 4x90 or 4x100 that becomes a short wheelbase 3x110 or whatever. What's the closest thing on the market that would provide me with what I need without having to buy two wholly different skate setups? Can you get up on your toes and heels well enough to do slalom on a 4x90 as in for someone with my foot size? Is that one guy who says anything besides 80s or 100s is garbage because of prices making any sense, or is he screaming uselessly into the void and I shouldn't worry about it? Do those tri-skates with the middle and rear wheels close to each other while the front wheel is more spaced out actually improve anything?

I think is all about the radius. A smaller radius means a tighter circumference which in turn means irregularities hit the wheels at a more frontal angle (think aggressive wheel against rough pavement, almost impossible, mega unpleasant, everything hits / knocks the wheels back). Big radius, shallower circumference so irregularities hit the wheel more at the bottom. Also, the bigger the wheel the stronger your ankles must be. I wouldn't recommend starting with 110. I mean you can but you need to be super careful if your ankles aren't trained and you need to do some exercises when off the skates.

4x110 for marathon boots or speed skating boots is awesome too. Switching from my 4x110 Luigino into my THEMs in anti rocker is super weird though lol

Learned a lot thanks!

also bearings are very important and wheel hard factor

Also, how is the stopping or sliding on triskates? Thanks. Great video, still so many questions.

I am a semi professional skater. I am looking for the best compromise I can in terms of (frame length and wheel size) between speed and maneuverability. By maneuverability I only mean (leg cross at turns - jumping backwards and skating backwards - circular turns to stop). I would really appreciate your response.

Some folks have complained online about the Swell fit and hurting their feet. Have you experienced any of this? Also, the Rollerblade Maxxum is a 4x90.

Cool

Hello! I've just watches your video and found it amazing. Thank you. But I gotta a question: I have a 80mm roces, but I find very hard to skate on the streets (Speacilly because the patches of my city are quite rough), so I was thinking in buying a 110mm one in order to make my skates roll better on the streets. So, do you think a bigger wheel will solve my problem and make me skate _like if I were floating_ even in a rough street?

Actually a bigger wheel has less wear since it has a bigger circumfence and therefore more PU per wheel.

Hm...I just ordered the Bladerunner Formula 100 Womens Inline Skates (3x100mm). Is there that much of a difference between the tri 100's and tri 110's that I should consider cancelling/changing my order? Thanks!

Whats the best for shitty surfaces...my city has alot of fucked up surfaces and i dont wanna bust my ass TOO often lol. Talking rough streets and big cracked sidewalks etc potentially small rocks etc also i wear a size 11 maybe 11.5 depending

I want to order 100mm wheels i bought 110 hydrogens. Can i still slide stop well on 110? Or should i get a 100mm. And what 100 wheels should i get? I have trimax kizer inlines on a NJ PRO boot. Help please?

Hi, was wondering if it's possible to downsize wheels on triskates from 110mm to 90mm?

Hey Law, how are you? I think, that 💯's are enough. I tried some 125's, but felt not to comfortable. My left foot tilted, even tho the boot was pretty stiff. BTW, what did you get for birthday? 😏

I think people skating on triskates look like superpowered cartoon characters. They just look so cool to me, skating in general seems like the best way to move to me

I’m about to order K2 trio’s in 100mm. But... Now after I saw your video and explanation, I’m thinking that I might transfer to 110mm. Just for a long distance and urban cruising(nothing spectacular), what would you recommend? Please help, before I choose and regret. 😁

can u put wheels that are 125mm under a frame used for wheels that are 100mm?

I have questions. Thanks for the video, I recently use hockey inclines 84 and 76 mm. I am rural and skate on very fractured pavement. I was thinking of going to 3 wheels, there is lots of debris on the old secondary roads . I would also like to skate on rougher surfaces. Any ideas? Thanks...Tony

When you say trail skatting, do you mean in the woods? Or roads?

Which one is better for smooth less road

What is meaning of 84A

See I want 90mm85a but I can’t find them anywhere

And 100?

What is best setup for downhill ? I’m 180cm tall 90 kg

i think its weird people dont like when their wheels stick out, im the EXACT opposite. Long base all day

4x110 still faster then 3x125

Oh, and FIRST. 😂
