My Inline skate collection from the beginning to now - all my rollerblades 

U are a Motivation Factor specially for those Starting Skating Lately.. Keep Motivating.

Thank you WHITTY! I appreciated the FR1 review and you answering the questions I asked you about them a while back. Just purchased a pair of FRX 310 & FR1 310 for my youngster and I. Please keep up the good work 👍

Love your video's! Because of your video's i started inline skating at 33. Loving it. Thanks for bringing good vibes. ✌️

Great video, I used it as my reference when I bought new skates this year. I've recommended your video to my friends looking to buy new skates as well. Thank you for the no-nonsense video.

You keep saying Hello World, like you're a developer :)

As always very honest and informative 👍🏼 thanks.

Ha! funny. I watched your skate molding with hot gun video because I bought a pair of Imperial jade 4x80 in 42 cause there was no 43. I decided to risk it and indeed the skates were quite narrow for my foot. Definitely not the right size. What I did was to use your technique and expand the toe box. I really had to go to town with them if I wanted to keep them so I did the molding around 8 times until there was enough room. Part of the fact I did it so many times is that I didn't want to make the plastic shiny so I always went carefully. Now I just love those skates. With red laces and red LED wheels they simply look stunning. The Imperial boot/cuff is super stiff (you can tell is plastic and fiberglass), I really love it, definitely one of my fav setups.

I enjoy watching your review on RU-vid on inline skates. I haven't made a purchase yet but listening to reviews helps guide me on selection.

Interesting video, showing the qualities or defects of each skate. Particularly I also have a Twister edge x 2018, and I share the opinion about its speed, they are very smooth on the asphalt, and the fit is good that allows you great control.

Thanks a lot for this video. I was looking for a new pair of skate and was hesitating between those models. It's helping me a lot.

I experienced similar pain in my Twister X skates and so switched to the Rollerblade RB 80 PRO X. Seems to be the same skate but a wider boot. It is a great skate that is so much more comfortable for me than the Twister X, while still retaining the speed and control. Highly recommended.

Seba FR2s were my first skates too, and I echo everything you say. I also have the Aeons, my only aggressive skate. PS Nexts now, with RB Twisters ordered and awaiting arrival. Skates owned tell the story of the owner for sure.

I live in Kenya and I love your videos wish I could get myself a pair of those Seba skates they look quite good

I'm 61 but in better shape than most people half my age. Anyway I skated a lot in the mid 90's and got to really love it. I don't know what happened but inline skating died off in Canada and I guess in most other places too. It was huge in the 90's. I drove tour buses and every city I went to had tons of skaters. Y2K came and skating died off. I stopped too. I'd always kept my Bauer carbon hockey skate and I brought them with me when I moved to Taiwan in 2007. Long story short, I got back into skating a couple of years ago here in Taiwan...I guess all the youtube videos got my interest up again. I'm like you...I have bought about 6 pairs of modern skates. I even bought recently the Aeon 80's I want to get into aggressive skating and do some grinds and slides. I just haven't worked up the courage to jump on a rail yet. You look to be doing quite well. I was looking to see if you had a video on grinding...but I didn't see one. What do you think of putting one together? Well...I've talked enough for now. Keep skating. Still love it just as much at 61 as I did back in the day. Take care.

Great video, seba highlight with your 125 and 110 frames will kick ass!!

Great video. I've not been skating that long but have tried a few pairs already. I recently got some High Light Carbon 310s and absolutely love them, they fit so much better than anything else I've tried. They also have the wheels set up differently to other 310s - The back and middle wheels are close together and the front one if further away. Also have some FR1s which I had no issues with other than they are a bit big due to the shared shell size (45-47) and have tried Rollerblade Maxxum Edge 125 and Powerslide NEXT Pro 110 (both too narrow).

Awesome stuff. If coronavirus ever lifts, I recommend visiting Germany/Switzerland for a Skatenight! They're very fun :) It's something different.

Im Only 24 so dont think im that late to the game yet but, You have really inspired me so much. Buying my first skates today, so hopfully 2 years down the line im as good as you were after your 2 years

Really helpful video! Interesting too that high spec 4x80 can be as fast as 3x110.

great video, I agree with you with the Twister Edge, I returned them.

Good video as always. A lot of scuff marks on those skates 😀 good (means you been putting them through their paces ) As I mentioned on Instagram I got new Powerslide zoom 100 skates Saturday. Taken them out Sunday and Monday (rain today) Thinking of making a first impression video in the next week . All the best mate. Stay healthy and keep safe

I love your relaxed review style. Honest and to the point. I just got a new pair of FR1 - 110 and I'm having issues with the fit. Is there a trick to getting a comfy fit with the buckles and cuff? I'm coming from speedskates and have looked on RU-vid for a setup guide with no luck. Keep up the good work.

Nice collection! I prefer to stick to a trusted boot and buy the different size frames..although I've still ended up with loads of pairs of skates haha. I'm a big fan of Seba too, just got the highlight V2s a month ago to replace my maxxum egdes which killed my feet (might have to get the heat-gun on them). Loving them so far. I'm interested to see your new addition!

Riding fr3, and buy fr1 for my wife. Both are 80mm and it's really good stuff for city skating

Thanks for your video showing your collection. As a new skater it helps out a lot. I’m curious if you ever had to adjust your frames to get a level foot placement. I just purchased a pair of FR1s and my ankles rolls out. This would mean I’d have to move my frame toward the outside edge. It helps somewhat but I’m wondering if it just not the right shaped boot for my foot.

I love the video love your style. I have 2 in my collection from oxelo. In my country the good brand's cost a lot. so I hope to buy them soon Love to skate!!

I had to heat mold my Imperial fatboy liners 4 times before they finally broke into my foot properly. Literally the longest skate I've ever owned to break in. I changed the wheels and added a color kit and super feet yellow insoles. They went from my worst feeling Big wheels skate to one of the best for distance. Took me a whole year though lol.

I just got back into skating after 25 years, again. I purchased the twister edge x 2020 (with the blue instead of the red) I really, really like them. I suppose I possibly for lucky with the fit. Anyway, you were my first channel that I subbed to, too refresh my memory on skating. I love your channel. I'm 45 years old, now. I'm now scared of doing the things I used to do when I was younger. (I miss those days. It was fun) Anyway, I still have fun skating, even without all the jumping over things. Thank you for your videos. They really motivate me to keep skating. Just one thing though, what's your advice on getting more speed? I want to go faster. Should I improve on my form? Can you do a video on that?

Hey there, was just wondering if you are thinking of trying out 4x90 or 4x100? Seems like the natural progression for you plus on a side note it seems your boot size is a tad big for the 243mm 4x80s (just imo). Could be better unless you prefer the agility of the 80s. Asking cuz I myself am waiting for my kizer flux 4x90 frames to arrive to fit my PS next 42/43eu boot. Btw nice vid, cheers from sg!

Hello! I noticed all of your Seba skate cuffs are set back. Is there any particular reason for that setup? I want to start trying different cuff setups with my High Light V2s but I can't find a whole lot of info on what each position is really suited for.

Have you tried the FR SKATES FR1 DELUXE INTUITION 80? Looks like a real comfy popular set

Hey keep a good work, did you ever owned soft boot skates? My first pair was soft fitness skates Take care

I’ve had my RB twister edge X’s for about a year and a half and I’m looking for a new pair-my top choice are the FR 1 as of right now, just wondering if anyone else thinks these might be the best upgrade?

Hi, I'm cheering for this model, but I wanted to ask you? Can you put the velcro heel on the liner ??, this model inside the cuff has the coatings to protect the screws? so they don't damage the boot like the fr1? 3 could you buy the cuff buttons to make it eccentric like the fr1 ?? Thanks

Thank you for the review Whitty! High quality information for someone like me who wants a new pair of skates. When you mentioned the “true size” of FR1 gives you better control, do you mean the regular size of your running shoes or a size smaller? I did some online and find people saying the liner will break in and become one full size larger, so one should choose one size smaller when buying skates?

A pair a year. Got it. So I’m a bit premature in looking at getting a set of wheels and bearings? Then again, I want to downsize because my skates are too fast....

Yes! I had those aeons! Where o where is that rail/skatepark? Looks lovely.

Hey bro nice videos, I am looking to buy my first pair of skates, I'm a beginner and based near Central London, what would you recommend between fr1/fr3 or the rollerblade twister edge x, any advice would be much appreciated 😁

Any recommendations aside from just simple practice if you transition from quads and find in-line extremely heavy… trying to learn and maneuver seems a bit more time consuming due to weight of skates. Feels like I’m carrying around boulders!! Lol. Is that normal and just a matter of building leg muscles( slim with scrawny legs…)?

Good info, Mate. I got my Seba FR1's around 08/09 and they're still probably the best skates I own for overall use - still so comfy. Also on the Rollerblade front; I was tempted by the Twisters but opted for the Metroblades and have never looked back.

hey, I was just curious, is the skate park at 2:38 in or near Cheltenham? thanks :)

Hi WHITTYskater, Can i ask what trainer / shoe / Mondo size you are and what size Twister X you decide upon? Do you have much wiggle room, and any space in front of your toes? I'm Mondo 28.5 and have a pair of EUR 45 on order. Thanks, really enjoyed watching.

so what did the heat-gun do for the boot? was it like a molding thing? I ask because i have tried 3 different roller-blade skates and have had no luck with them. (not when i was younger though i feel as though foot/skate technology has developed exponentially in the past 20 years) but simliar/chronic pain in my bottom left foot right above the inside arch with just about every boot from them ive tried & a few other brands. its possible it could be a form issue on my end. i believe anatomically my foot is not designed for the RB skates. i really lucked out getting my first serious pair after coming off aggressive skating in 2010 to 2015 purchasing my seba trix 2s. even the break in period was minimal to non existent and that is how i measure my foot to skate compatibility with boots. I was a little hesitant because of the price but they ended up being so comfortable i got another back up pair that I test with different tri frames. Comfort, Style, Design, & Performance it hits all marks.

hello, congratulations on the channel. i would like to ask you for some advice, i currently skate with a seba frx 80 with ilq9 bearings, i am really happy with my skate, a very good purchase at a good price for me, now i would like to take a leap forward. i would like to upgrade to a faster model. I'm not sure whether to get an FR1 310 or switch to another brand. could you help me?

Hi there, thanks for the video. I also getting the same issue with the Twister Edge X and ankle pain, Marmite situation. Could you give me some tips on how to use the heat gun to alliviate the issue. Cheers pal

What kind of knee protection are you wearing? I'm still searching for the right ones for me.

Nice to see another video come up, how are you coping with isolation? When I got my FRX80s I tried on a pair of powerslides, I think it was the zoom, but I really didnt find them comfortable, so I agree with you the FR skates are great. I'm planning on getting a pair of Aeon 60s to learn grinds also, planning on making a playrail to learn in my garden, but I have to find somewhere to buy wood.

Beo que tal van los imperial..he comprado los black red 110 ...he leido que se rompen facil😢...que opinas?😅

Hello, thank you for your videos. I have one question: is it possible to use a FR spoiler with the High light Carbon? I ask that because I am looking for better ankle support, and the high carbon sploiler is a little to flexible for me. Thx!

Nice quiver!

I have FR1 and I admit that I really am drawn to the twister edge for it's reputation of being very tight and responsive. The fit of the fr1 is comfy, but a bit _too much_: I feel like I have no control on them, even if they are all closed. I've been skating for a long time and I don't have much money so I have to really think before I buy. Do you have any advice? I've been skating for 7 years

Hello, I'm planning to buy a new skate next month and I'm between the Rollerblade Twister 110 and Seba FR1 325, do you have any advice?

I’m using PS Imperial 80s btw because I was told not to start out with a soft boot due to issues with ankle support….

That's quite an impressive collection. But your skill level at four years of inline skating proves that quality pays off. I'm curious what will be next on your journey of finding your perfect skate.

I really enjoy your videos. I'm in the process of buying new skates so your videos are helping a lot. I've tried on the RB Maxxum Edge 90 and Next 100. Both have pressure points at the ankle though. So before using a heat gun on the Rollerblade, I guess I should try Sebas as they're supposed to be comfortable. I wonder if the price difference between FR1 and FR3 is justified though. Also, I'm slightly concerned about the wheel size. I want something larger than 80mm because most trails around here have grainy, uneven surface. However I come from 72mm, so 110 seems huge. Plus, I'm used to having a break. I can do the t-stop but I don't nearly stop as fast. So it makes me feel a bit insecure. I'm not sure if a break can be mounted on the FR1 310 at least while I figure out other techniques.

I've got some cheapo to start off with, but in the spring I hope to get something from £140 - £160. Any recommendations and what wheels for predominantly skating on concrete,tarmac and asphalt surfaces?

Hey Mate, great review! QQ, I have been on FR2 80s for two years now(am 40 and they are my first skates) am in the market for my best step. I really like the FR1 310 but worried they won’t be stable for a beginner? How you compare them to the 80’s please?

greetings, and wich is your favorite between the fr1 and the twister, I appreciate you answer :)

Have you tried the fat boys in the FRs? Of course then it will probably be too short so you will need to take out the insole. Or put an extra insole under the original liner. or heat them and tighten them as much as possible.

Do you find the fr1 liner loosens over time?

Can somebody help? I'm about to purchase some seba frx 80. I take a 7 in nike, 6.5 in adidas and my foot measures 25cm I usually have 1cm extra room in size 7. For seba Should I go with a UK 6.5 (26cm) or UK 7 (26.5cm,) or get a UK 6 (25.3cm). Hope this makes sense. You mentioned the liner gives a bit. So I'm leaning towards UK 6 . Any advice thanks.

Just found your channel after buying some vintage Boxcar Street Rollerblades to get back into skating having not done it for 20 years and wondering if you think relearning on such old 'agressive' skates is a good idea? The skates feel good and I have confidence in them but have never grinded or done tricks before but would like to try in the future. Anyway thanks so much for your videos and I wish RU-vid was around the last time I was getting into skating as it's a lot easier than trying to find VHS skate videos 😁

Is it possible for you to put the Fat Boy liner into the red FR 1 310, that way you don't have to wear two pairs of socks?

I have the rollerblade twister edge skates and I have the same problem with them did it help when you heat mold them

Is there a reason you went with the FR1 310 instead of the FRX, FR3, or FR2?

Just to have an idea, what size are your feet in cm? And what skate size you buy?

Just out of interest, it would be great to know which UK size you take in each skate? Whilst you obviously have your shoe size and others have theirs, it's always interesting to know as a comparison of which skates fit larger or smaller.

Hey there. At one point in the video you said you would recommend any beginner a FR1. It is going outside my budget. But I will be able to buy FRX. Do you recommend it for a beginner?

haha these seba rollerblades i have too, my first one too :) and yes i agree with that they are amazing.

What's your opinion on carbon skates? I'm 99% sure I want to make my own custom Powerslide hardcore evo pro 2021 boot on their website, I do a mix of urban and distance skating so heat molding the entire boot to my foot sounds like a good way to keep comfort for both types of skating.

Hey there! Quick question, if you have the time. Everyone always tells, that carbon skates are the best, and i can imagine, and really want to try one. But I was wondering, if you already have a carbon, why would you go back to plastic skates? Is it just the feeling, or is there something that they can provide, that carbon can not? And as always, I admire your work, keep it up, and have a wonderful day!

i have been skaeting, since i was 10 now im 36, i had some bravoblade that last me 22 years, but the boot finally broke, having such a good expirience with roller blade i was really into buying twister edge, but your comment let me doubt (and i can not try them ,they dont have them in chile, i will have to order them online) i never tried a seba skate, but i had those wheel and for me were the worst wheel ever, they were very sliperry , i was tryng to put myself to stop and was very slow reaction (any opinion regarding that), so i dont trust seba, byt everybody say that they are great,so i dont know maybe power slide? thanks

hi do you find the top strap on the sebra high light carbon 80 really bad ??? ive just brought my 3rd pair of boots /you suggested to me buying the fr1 which i did and totallly love but this boot i can't get the top strap any where as tight as i can on the fr1. any suggestions ?

Try SEBA CJ on some UFS Freeskate Frame you will be amazed how much stability you will bet on flat fsk frame ;)

Hi, can you recommend some trusted online inline skate shops in the UK?

Do you have any experience with flying eagle inline skates?

Hey dude, love your videos! Wondered if you could help me, I want Michael Prado Gawds boots (aggressive) with 3x110 wheels and frame. Do you think this would work for long distance? Im a beginner and currently working on stopping using your tutorial in my crappy £50 4x80 skates but want to walk my dog and commute in some bad ass Gawds (12 mile round trip). What do you think? Cheers man, love your work 🤘

Do you always remove the break on the skate?

To say I’m impressed with your collection would be an understatement. 🙌🏾 I have to ask, what do you think of the brand “Rollerblade”?

This is great! Thanks! Great Collection! : ) I am looking at the FRX 80 as potentially my first rollerblades, very exciting! I was actually looking at the Zetrablade Rollerblade, as I like the soft show. The FRX 80 would be top of my budget for now. I was told that maybe a harder shell for learning could be good. Just wondering your thoughts, or any recommendations for my first pair. Big Thanks, Chris

Are you every going to try the intuition liner, and look to get into the wizard stuff?

How many hours do you skate when you skate on average? I read somewhere you skated 4 to 5 days a week, but, if I'm not mistaken, your answer didn't include the number of minutes / hours each session was. :)

Can i get 1pair?

and your next skates are gto's? the adapt symetrics wheels are amazing (i tested them and they are my main wheels now) but i don't know about the whole skates.. they look fantastic tho but didnt try them because of.. yeah the price xD btw you are on of the reasons i started skating again.. along with Bill, Tiago, Ricardo an Shaun. And my childhood of coursen (and rocona (yeye its a nickname) but plz dont give that sht attention) Thx guys!

Which are the best skate for speed?

I love my twisters from rollerblade. The FR3s gave me terrible blisters. I used the FR3s for 5 miles and got bloody blisters. They were too small even tho I order a half size bigger than my shoe size. Terrible

Why did you buy the same FR boot like 4 times 😆

What are your favourite skates?

You have Beginner to donation?

Comfort aside, can you make any remarks about the quality of the imperial?

Can you try the twister edge 3x110 wheels

I need your help!!!🚨⚠️ I'm not a beginner but I have lost my roller skates and I need to but new ones. The thing is that I need them to be affordable and I need them to do well with concrete and sometimes sand! Because I live in a city with bumpy roads and we have a bike road only near the sea (and that's where the sand part comes). Do you have anything in mind? P.S. the wheels of my last skates got beat up even though I dont do a lot of tricks. Thank you in advance!❤

How is sizing for the Fr1's 80mm?

So if your Seba highlights are your favourites, then why skate anything else?

Are these considered freestyle skates ?

I loved to see that all your skates are extremely scratched because I just scratched mines today and I was a bit upset about it

SEBA remains the best brand out there

I'm 6'7" tall, size 11 US shoe, extremely flat feet. Just don't know what triskate is best for me.

I absolutely despise the current ski boot looking rollerblade line personally, I’ve heard mostly good things but would never own one because of this... it’s too bad. Fr2 80s and remz owner myself.

How much can you sell me the skate shoes
