Hi Tiago, I think you have forgotten one of the most important differences: the kind of floor you are going to skate on. In my opinion, triskates are much more suitable for skating on a rugged floor like streets, whereas 4 wheels are better for smooth floors because they are more stable. If you want to do urban skate on your town's streets and pavements triskates are recommended. But it's true, they are a little more difficult to handle, so you must have a little experience.

[@rgb181]

I live in a city (italy) where we don't have a street that isn't ruined or that doesen't go up and down And we all tried triskates (we are experienced enough) but it really didn't go well. I think that it can be dangerous triskating in not-so-perfect street and cities that are not flat

I’ve skated for 11 years on aggressive four wheel skates, I’ve just bought a pair of tri wheel GC frames with 110mm wheels, being quite experienced when it comes to skating the tri-wheel was the best bet for me! I most definitely recommend going tri-wheel as it’s a smoother ride and a higher ride height overall!

[@SerialWheeler]

Very well thought out video, Tiago! In my opinion you touched most important points. Just switched to 3 wheels and it's kick ass but finding it much harder to slide than on my 4x80.

[@Dynamic_Flyer]

Really good, wise advice from Tiago I think. Tri skates with bigger wheels (eg 110, 125) are SO much faster that 4x80 that skills such as stopping and turning are more critical. 4x80 (or smaller) are slower and more stable, hence more forgiving. However, once you get good on 4x80 then tri skates are a really good option for street skating because of their higher speed. Less energy needed to go places, and better over bumps and uneven surfaces because of the larger wheels. So my view is start with 4x80 then move to 3x100 or 3x110 when you are able to skate fairly well (particularly speed control and stopping)!

[@Sushipea]

Totally agree that small 4 wheels setup is the best to learn basic skills, but I reckon 100-110mm Trinity 3 wheels setup has no significant difference in control, and rather better to learn correct edge control (which edge you are on).

[@buca669]

You're right I changed from 4x90 UFS to 3x125 trinity lately, the 3 wheel setup is great in manouverability (short frame) on the middle pivot wheel. E.g. for me, trying slides is much easier on 3skates. As Ricardo Lino said few months ago, there is a big difference in the leverage with big wheels as the feet are higher above ground. After few months I still struggle with boot lacing and top buckle on my Nexts, it's never the same, sometimes very bad for handling and I get blisters and bruises from the boot after longer ride. Second thing is inertia - 4x90 is slower at similar pace but it reacts instantly to change of pace, with 3x125 setup you have to "plan in advance" accordingly. When an uphill part comes, it's better to change pace few seconds before, otherwise it is quite hard to get the speed back. Same with starts, to get similar speed after few strides, you have to push harder. On the downhills (I do only slight slopes) with triskates I need to decelerate earlier as they keep the speed once they got fast-but I keep trying slides that slow down quickly that makes the ride generally faster ;-) But the speed is great even on that short frame...

[@HelenHennessy]

It seems like no one addresses the people who have mastered every skate we’ve encountered so far and are simply anxious to do the same here. I could just be missing it, but so far “new to inline skating” seems to be used synonymously with “new to skating” - period. Even better than just an acknowledgement that “beginner” might not mean the same thing to everyone, would be addressing it head on and using those comparisons - which would be so helpful to those of us who love skating and can’t wait to kick ass w/ inline skates like we have w/ ice and roller skates - to better aim us toward a good starting place. Like, “if you’re already comfortable with ice skating you might not need to worry so much about x and y, but z will be a new experience and might be easier with ______” Or: “If you’re the roller derby type, you should have no trouble at all with A, but B may take some getting used to.” (Again, I haven’t combed the interwebz, and I strongly suspect that these videos do exist, but they’re well buried.) It’s just a thought. Or, who knows, maybe it’s actually a desperate scream into the void. 🤷‍♀️ I’m not picky; I’ll take whichever interpretation has the greatest chance of actually working.😉

My 5 cents. Firstly, 3 wheels are worse for me because the taller wheels put more strain on my joints. I moved back from 3x110mm to 4x80mm coz I started to feel pain in my knees. Secondly, 4 wheels ride more smoothly on different surfaces whereas 3 wheels a more demanding on the quality of the surface. And I did not notice any speed improvement whereas the maneuvrability suffered quite a bit.

That was a big surprise, and a lot of fun too! 🙂

This might not be super helpful to beginners, but here's my skate wheel progression. I just bought a pair of tris about a week ago now (the latest Seba High Light skates fit my wide/weird foot perfectly) and I instantly absolutely loved them. They're already 3 x 100 for my foot length, but I can go up to 110 if I'm keen. This is after years of only having been on 4 wheels daily in my early teens to a big gap of not skating in between - about 15 years I'd say. Starting back again on 4 wheels recently with probably a solid year mostly practicing skills on those. Had a few months or so 'off' - partly because my skates didn't really fit anymore and have just now upgraded(?) to three wheels. I had imagined I'd be unstable, but I found them really sturdy, comfortable, maneuverable and was super surprised. Though I wasn't a complete beginner, I'm quite good at not falling and have naturally good balance. All contirbuting factors I'm sure. I don't think that would have been the case if I used tris from the start (though I'm sure they weren't available back then).

The last skates that I still own are 5 wheels from Tecnica* as I was also a member of the Empire Skate Club in NYC. *HOWEVER*, I have not been on skates (except a few years ago, when I've tried to start again) on a serious, fit level since 2005. Now, 2020, I am out of shape and have ankles that are on the weaker side and tire fast and I really want to start up again, btw., I am 55 years old now. I don't want to use my 5 wheel speed-skates anymore, because they are just not as practical in the city and harder to maneuver, especially for roller dancing in Central Park (did that for years back then... super fun...!) I'll be considering to get the three wheel setup... and even I have to get slowly fit again and practice a lot... I feel that I should go with the new ones from Rollerblade... although the season is soon be over, yet I'll be able to train in Central Park (NYC), since I live in a 14 minutes walking distance). * Tecnica A lot of you young people in the US won't know that company (even people in local skate stores had now idea), but those were sold in the US with all kinds of 4 wheel and speed-skate 5 wheel models and setups.

Due to an accident my legs are uneven (1.7 cm difference). Skating on my 4x80mm hurts my lower back after a while due to being uneven. I was thinking about doing 3 x 110 and 3 or 4 x96-ish on the other foot.... that should get me close enough; however, I wasn't sure if that would be screwy (don't care how it looks, just care about how maneuverability will be with mixed sized wheels). Any thoughts? I wanted to try larger wheels than 80s because the streets around me are pretty rough, and I am hoping to smooth things out a bit with larger wheels.

I like using skates for transport, there are a lot of rough paths and roads around, with the standard 4 small wheels I've found they often suffer from issues handling the surfaces, once nearly fell transitioning from a smooth pavement to a road that was much rougher than I expected as they just slowed right down near instantly, bigger softer triskates make these surfaces much easier, and less tiring, to handle, and gone is the time where I had to skate in to a lamp post because I ended up on a steep hill and didn't know how to stop properly (I was headed for a busy main road and decided it was the least painful way to stop under the circumstances) I practised different stopping and speed control methods after that!

They are the Powerslide Hardcore Evo Trinity, they normally come with 3 wheels but I put a 4 wheeled frame on them, in a rockered setup! ✌🏼

[@kuraidjinn]

@@TiagoInlineSkater Whoa!! A reply from the man himself! I'm honored, bro. I'm just getting back into skating and.. Things have changed since I was 11😁. I'm having some difficulty though. Looking for skates online, and everything is sold out😬 Any advice? Thx again, Tiago. Love your channel!

[@aztecterp]

I used to skate all the time, 25 plus years ago. I decided to get back into it since I'm a ski instructor and also want to do skate touring. I went with the three-wheel set up and 110 wheels. It was hard at first and I even had a freak fall that fractured my left wrist last year. I'm back at it and am having fun. I'm still learning how to stop quickly but do avoid going very fast unless I know I have a good runoff. Then, I do let go and it is fast. Still, I'll likely buy a four wheel set up based on what you recommend so I can learn all the cool tricks 🙂

[@TiagoInlineSkater]

Yeah! 4 wheels are great for learning tricks! Have fun!

[@theinlineguy9667]

Nice video. Good points. Great work going over the other setups Tiago! Four wheels are definitely best for beginners in my perspective.

[@TiagoInlineSkater]

The Inline Guy Thank you! :)

[@freespeech3196]

I like this dude's attitude ! Personally, I'm using a 4 wheels right now (just began a week ago) :)

[@FlowSkate]

Well said.

[@brettridel4510]

This guy is the best I love these videos cause he is so positive and honest

[@koreprod5062]

Still waiting for 2 110mm wheels street skates .

[@TiagoInlineSkater]

kore prod I have a 2x150 offroad setup 😆

[@megatronavich]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos they make me want to go out straight after and skate.

[@brittanyfehlings6838]

Back when I figure skated, I used roller blades with 4 wheels, but after roller derby I've been using my quads since. i wanted to get some roller blades to see if they'd be better for street skating.....I had no idea they made them with 3 wheels! 😂. Thank you for the insight

[@axtra9561]

Anyone else a quad skater that still watches tiago?

[@DeezSkates]

Axtra, I skate on everything, but originally I'm a quad skater. If you can skate one you can skate the other!

[@damonhoppe5076]

I enjoy quads, but that doesnt mean I'm good at them

[@lisanne1711]

I used to have rollerskates, then my first blades, 4x80mm, then I had 4x100mm now I ordered 3x110mm! Very excited!

[@galedowski]

Hello Tiago!. Gabriel here. Huh, well, I'm looking for new skates. I like speed skating but I would like to try new things like slalom/ freestyle. The problem is that I don't want to spend in 2 pairs, so, is there a hybrid between speed skate and a slalom skate? Those triskates from the video could be useful for what I want?

[@BONES-xh3kz]

I know this was a while ago but if you are starting stuff like freestyle and slaloms then I would suggest starting with 4 wheel inline skates around 4x76 or 4x80 and then maybe if you still want to then maybe get the triskates because I know from personal experience that you can still go fast in 4 wheel skates because I have 4x76 in my blades and I can get up to around 30-35 mph on a slight hill

[@jacovanderwalt1330]

Back in the day, I played ice hockey here in South Africa, but after the ice rink to close down, they wanted to continue hockey with roller skates. And after discovering you can go much further away with roller skates is a great motivation to get a pair.

[@blackcrashx]

i'm satified with my 3 wheel, my favourite 3x125.

[@alexripper2763]

Absolutely, but with trinity mount.

[@leesaleesa8819]

same here keeping it safe

[@fitnfab6522]

I've been Rbladding for long on 4 wheels. Today was my 2nd day using the 3 wheel 110, and I'm not looking to go pro, it's just for fun, and I might have to return them. Because, 1, they are too high, 2, they are fast! , 3, it is hard to maneuver in them. If you do all these tricks and want something fast, 3 wheels is good but for fun, I suggest the 4 wheels. And the 3 wheels are a bit heavier. I'm female, small frame, athlete. I bought the K2 110 in line skates. And they are truly amazing if you do buy the 3 wheels.

[@crimson2749]

I'm personally a Speed inline skater so I do Use 4 Large wheels but from time to time I like to us 3 wheels.

[@alexsaucedo7424]

Crimson o yea yea

[@hubey]

Very insightful, well explained and illustrated! Thank you Tiago 🙏 Happy with my 4x 80mm as a beginner at the moment. But might get 3x larger mm in the future when I want to skate distances, especially for cross country skiing training!

[@heatherlynn4652]

I love tri wheel skates. I'm never going back

[@YourLocalIceMan]

I prefer one long steel blade with grounded down edges on it. They seem to work better on ice than concrete! Great presentation and video. When we take the ice out a few groups like to come play roller hockey on the concrete floor.

[@rvbelt6020]

I feel a lot safer with the four one's

[@prismglider5922]

Started skating on 3x100 (Zoom Pro 100, they're alright but I'm looking for better) and I think that's worked out great. The speed has been great for distance skating. I skate several miles each day and that would get pretty tiring on smaller wheels. It's bad enough when my 100s have work themselves down below 90mm, 80mm would feel much slower. Definitely don't be afraid to get triskates if you're interested in longer distance, or less precise tricks. I'm only able to slalom properly when I rocker my middle wheels, but for normal city jumps and such flat has been great

[@pevi2007]

Those skates are beautiful mine got ruined by water and I haven't been able to skate for 3 months. I'm so sad about it. I'm trying to save to try and buy a pair.

[@TiagoInlineSkater]

alex perez by water??

[@agonleed3841]

@Derek Simmons probably bad explanation. Mine, I'm 34. I usually take care of a lot of things and have most things from even middle school. My middle school blades, I barely used. So they sat in closet. After a few moves and cellars, and storage etc. The screws became all rusted and such. Mixed with me never really cleaning it whenever I last used it. Instead of fixing/replacing/repair etc..i just said something like "water ruined my skates"

[@midejo6968]

I always skated a lot when I was younger and wanna start doing it again now I know what to buy thank you so much!

[@spookywitch0x0]

Same 🐻 ✌️ it's a good fitness experience and that's fun gotta return to it now at age 25 lol

[@EdgarCastilloJr]

coming from Aggressive Inline skating my wheels down to the core, 4x80mm felt like i had turbos on my frames.

[@AdrianButler86]

Like wise. By the way i love your username lol

[@nicholaschan9521]

Im a beginner, 92 years old and I'm thinking which should I choose. Thanks to your video I now know 3 120 wheels are the most suitable for me.

[@heesett]

*Skates with free will*

[@jacovanderwalt1330]

Experienced with fixed gear bikes: excellent🤗. Experience with unicycles: quite decent😁. Experience with Penny-farthings: discovered when purchased🤔. Experience with roller skates: nonexistent😢. Thanks for all the information. I'll try to keep it strongly in mind.

[@johnjordan3552]

I can't even stop on pebbled asphalt road and look at you lol

[@BrunoMurawski]

Thank you very much for this video Tiago! Congratulations from Brazil!

[@kelvingartei9187]

I love the three wheels

[@michaelharrison2775]

I too old now, but I did like fives. They even work for slalom and trick skating if you know how. And crossover magic happens best in fives. No question.

[@mehmetsunbul3702]

4 wheels!
