After initially trying the new Rollerblade Lightnings back at Skater Migration 2024, I finally got my hands on my own pair. Join me as I unbox the Rollerblade Lightning 90
Nice unboxing video. I've been in the Lightning 80s for a few months and they're great. I have wide feet and also wear minimalist shoes (Vibram toe shoes) so the wide boot is a plus. Memory buckles are great.
New skate day!!! Pleasant, unscripted, genuine, down to earth. No BS or narcissism. Coming to this channel is relaxing and inviting when the skater talks like a skater, not a corporate sellout. I'm really looking forward to the reviews. 😎
@@BINY_Channelyeah man, on my arches. I’ve come to taking all the insoles out and just riding on the boot which feels best for the longest period I’ve ridden.
Tired, beat up blisters badly. I’ve taken everything out thinking there was some sort of rubbing. Ive tried the exact same insoles as my previous pair. Nothing but trouble with these lightnings, even though I think they’re great skates.
Blisters usually mean your skates are too big. There's probably too much space around your arch in the boot. Which is allowing your foot to slip around and create friction. You might want to get a thicker foot bed/sole so there's less space for your foot to slide around minimizing the chance of a blister
How big is the difference between the wheel sizes? 80mm vs. 90mm? I'm faced with the decision of Twister XT or Lightning 90. Getting back into skating after 20 years. My old K2 Velocity 78/74mm should finally be replaced. Do you have any tips now that you've skated both?
If you can try the Twister XT on first (some people have pressure points around ankles) and are ok with 80mm, then I would recommend them, as they are a more premium boot. (Much stiffer and built for a beating) The Lightnings 90s aren't as stiff and probably won't take a beating as well. But they do run wider and are more comfy compared to the Twister XT. It ultimately depends on what kind of skating you are planning to do. 80mm is really light and agile, great for tricks or messing around in one spot, but will not be that great for distance vs. 90mm. I am really liking these memory buckles on the Lightnings. Hope to see them on more skates.
@@BINY_ChannelAre these new Lightnings like the RB Pro x in how they fit or better? Also, do the XT and old Edge X skate still have the same boot or are the XTs slightly roomier in the toe box?
