Hi, thanks for the honest review. I have the same skate. I would suggest using a shoe dryer to get ride of your sweat inside the liner. It's a game changer for me. I skate regularly, once or twice per week, but my liners don't smell bad, even after more than one year of use.

Finally a serious not sponsored review ! Thx for that! I’m just considering buying a new skates, those are right now on sale in a skate shop close by, I’m also thinking about buying twisters on the 110 wheel I sow on you new wideos that you are skating with those with bigger wheel. I’m 2m high used to play hockey in the past so I can skate quiet solid- usually im skating thru the city or next to the sea not doing a lot of crazy jumps and evolutions- which weelsize would you recommend ?
@seriouslyreallyserious16 күн бұрын
80s can do anything like tricks, speed, commute. 110s are better for speed and cruising, less versatile for tricks. I enjoy they require less maintenance (12 bearings instead of 16) and the bearings are better protected against dirt or moisture since they are taller.

Is this skate good for wide feet? I have flat feet too
@seriouslyreallyserious20 күн бұрын
I would say they lend to the narrower side. Try the RB Pro X or Lightning, those should be wider. Flat feet should work in any boot, though mind the cushioning.
@zofiago67672 күн бұрын
I just got mine, I have pretty wide feet (at least when I need regular shoes), and tbh, I feel they feel little bit to wide (they touch my feet on both sides, but I don't feel enough support - I mean maybe I'm complaining about nothing as I had looooooong break from rollers, so maybe after some time I will think they are perfect:) but now, I feel the pressure on sides is to little (like i would prefer a bit more support,) however my feet don't move to sides, I can easily do anything I can on ice skates (easy slaloms etc). That being said, I think they might be pretty nice for a wide feet:) - plus if they would feel just a bit to narrow, the inside liner will probably adjust to your feet after 10-30 km of riding:))

How much the liner became loose over time, I mean if your foot is very loose due to the loss of density of the foam. Do you recommend buying a size smaller than usual?
@seriouslyreallyserious2 ай бұрын
Most of the padding is in the ankle area; I believe because it does not stay compressed for long, it has maintained most of its loft/thickness. I do not think sizing down is a good idea as these are somewhat slim already, your foot may start to cramp. In actuality I have recently found the boot may be too short. If you find a boot is too loose, consider using padded socks or an indoor to adjust fit. These come with a footbed insert which reduces internal volume (I.e. tighter fit). Another option is to use padded socks, though I prefer I unpadded myself.

Are the wheels good for indoors /outdoor. What bearings do you have them paired with. If i would get a different pair of wheels from what you had on yours would be a good pair of wheels you recommend for indoor / outdoor.
@seriouslyreallyserious2 ай бұрын
Hi! Wheels are Rollerblade Hydrogen. Used once indoors, it may grip a lot but is suitable. Going to something harder like the Mushroom Blading or Powerslide Spinners (87a and higher) will be a bit better indoors. I think the bearings are Black Panther Ceramics, they are pretty good. Rains a lot here so it helps - alongside using Gel Lubricant - keep the ball bearings from corroding. They are not necessary, as my other skates have normal CrMo Steel Ball bearings and are just fine.

Not too many tricks, plenty of falls and scrapes. Though the occasional jump and spins do put some wear on them. I do live near the coast, however I would blame the humidity and the amount my feet sweat as the main mechanism. Taking the liner out form the boot after a session is the best strategy.

That is interesting. Some tips to relieve foot pain: Do a warm up skate, then take a break with your skates off for a few minutes. Try wearing thinner cushion/no cushion socks. Start with the cuff strap and ankle strap looser than you think necessary, and tighten after skating a bit. Before, during, and after a skate, massage your feet and ankle. Using a ball on the bottom is also great.

No sweat! Thanks for circling back. I had a similar experience having tried both out too now. UFS boots are heavy, especially Blanks. I got some inexpensive K2 110 frames off Ebay for my Blanks and I loved how much road jitter they absorb, although I am significantly more fatigued big-wheeling in them vs the Twister. The Twister is a weird foot shape though that would squeeze my pinkies so I just stick with the Blanks for both types of skating.

Good info mate, thx. I changed frame and wheels on this skate - comparing the original frame with endless frame I must say the RB frame is way too soft.

My foot is 270mm in length and widest part is 11cm. I usually have shoe size 43-44, but here I chose 42, which is really tight in the beginning, but you will have much more control over your skates. The Liner will stretch after 20km. I tried 43, but my heel felt a bit loose, so I sized down. I really can't complain after already 100km

Try some wizard skating, a subtle rockered setup. You can choose from a 165 mount or just the UFS frames as it was intended to be. The original wizard frames are just too expensive for someone who might not light it. There are some good ones like NN/Endless/rockin. I tried the 5x80 wheel frame setup and they are great.

Those little metal rings are frame bosses. Just saw a solution to loose bearings from a speed skater yesterday. Lay a strip, two, or three of cello tape thru your wheel until the bearings fit snuggly. If you want to try rockered frames there are cheaper options than Wizard from Endless, NN, Rockin', and Roka. And it seems like there are new brands coming online every month. I think the budget entry is the K2 R100 - 4x100mm with adjustable rockering. Or during rotation, flip your wheels without changing position to develop a natural rocker (maybe first and last if you have a particularly strong toe flick which causes faster wheel 1 wear).
@seriouslyreallyserious Жыл бұрын
Some good advice, they always fall out when I work on them. I may try that out, though I usually wait too long to rotate so maybe if I am more frequent that shold help. I find sometimes the falt setup sticks too much for twirls, so that should help a bit.

Very nice setup. :) You'll see they feel a bit more like "wearing trucks" but if you mentally forget about it and skate normally they will respond as good as the XTs with its own quirks, one of them, you need to tighten the cuff a bit more or your ankles will take a beating. 4 to 5th strap notch. (I usually start a 3 cause the front plastics needs to sit for a bit) I just got the 4x80 rockered frame for my XTs and, ooooh man they're like 10 times more maneuverable, night and day, it is crazy but in a good way after you get used to them. A bit unstable mostly when striding and being on the front wheels, you'll notice a wobble but it seems is a self correcting one (it never went out of control even while going as fast as I could). I haven't tried going downhill under a bridge and honestly is a scary proposition. You're gonna notice a noticeable drop in speed. You'll quickly find yourself having fun slaloming and not so much accelerating fast. You can still achieve a good speed and depends on your technique with the new setup but the sprint you get with a flat setup is gone.

If you really want the Twister - with a wider foot - size up, and use the footboard sizer if necessary. Remember to try skates out on carpet to ensure fit!
