Powerslide Doop First Impressions

[@isaiahloring3783]

Bro the way you were describing the edge as you were turning is exactly what I’ve been experiencing but I couldn’t put it into words. But you described it so well

[@hinata472]

I have a 4x90 doop, definitely the shoe to use is important, I used to wear vans but the foot moves a lot, but with tighter shoes it improves the sensation, a review in an urban area with a few simple jumps would be interesting.

[@MrKoreanboy100]

What shoes do you wear cause I have the same issue

[@xdKAYf0lcflhDi7mfXRFkw]

@@MrKoreanboy100 Futsal shoes. Mizuno Morancida Neo. This one has no EVA cushion on the heal. I've used ones with cushion like the Asics Toque 7, they work well. Keep in mind these types of shoes fit really tight but they are quite comfortable because of the soft upper. If you have wide feet, stick to Mizuno or Asics.

[@SkaegSkater]

Almost can't believe those hype videos with guys bombing aqueducts in doops. Thanks for looking into these skates for us and giving your review, I was always curious.

[@BlobBlobkins]

I bought them as a beginner, riding for 3 years now, not thinking to change them for a normal blades. I don't even know how the normal blades rides, maybe they are better, but I love those and I'm comfortable with Doop.

[@HarryTheAxe]

I think Doop is OK. But bro, you're missing out a whole universe by not skating on proper, hard, agile, lightweight skates.

[@BlobBlobkins]

@@HarryTheAxe Already have PowerSlide Next, you are right. Still using doop for a quick ride to the shop.

[@BlindGardener]

I still hope that one day they figure out the "just step in" skates.

[@CanadaBladers]

Can't say that the doop is dope. Leg press and calf raises are doing good things for you. Keep it up.

[@YassenJL]

I have the model for 3 months now and Samsung health says I skated around 400 km with it. Using very slim sneakers feels nice. Definitely not the same level of support as Powerslide EVO or Next, tho.

[@johnnolcox8768]

400km in 3 mos. is impressive

[@nathanaelink]

What do you recommend for beginners instead for city skating to nearby destinations? Like a coffee shop or groceries? Assuming I can just bring a bag for them with spare shoes

[@Zipperskull_]

It seem like the company discontinued, theres not anything new on their website. I hope any new company would pick up the design and try to fix the doop skate's flaws.

[@qaczy]

I had them once on my feet for 10 min and it was enough. For freerider it's major no. However for the commuter who is interested just in riding forward and stoping with T-stop or built brake it can be something great. However, they are way too expensive if you ask me.

[@BINY_Channel]

Yeah. For $325 you can buy FR1, NEXT, or Edge, which are exponentially better lol

[@alag9012]

Dont think it was a fair review cause of the shoes you used.

[@leipold6]

Me have some... since years .... And i love it to travel with them. Specially go shopping, i can go inside the shop with shoes. With hardboots i hava to go barefoot inside the shop

[@DualCookies]

Are your boots still holding together?

[@ONLYFACT_X]

well damn, i see great reviews and no bad reviews about this. idk what to do lol

[@DualCookies]

It kindof just seems like the problem is the shoes. The boots on inline skates are normally really snug. I feel like if you had really snug shoes too they might feel better to skate in? Idk

[@xdKAYf0lcflhDi7mfXRFkw]

It is. I have FR1, Iqon Cl20, FR AP, K2 S100, etc etc. If you use a futsal shoes, it will work. You have to crank down on the buckles and they are fine.

[@DualCookies]

@@xdKAYf0lcflhDi7mfXRFkw I tried the doops recently and unfortunately I'm too short to ride... The cuffs go way too far up my calves. It's expected though, there's not a lot of stuff made for 5'4"

[@revolutionunderground]

On the Doops, is the lower buckle strap, or the velcro type better?

[@11Phenom11]

So helpful! Thanks for the honest review.

[@Casual_BackPacking]

they have lots of adjustments on the skate to get the right fit

[@remyhendrikse6450]

I've tried xsjado skates in the past, fun idea but very unsupportive. It felt like the frames rolled sideways on every push.

[@Nitzanbenari]

thank you for your honesty!

[@BINY_Channel]

Thanks, glad I could help. Please check out the rest of the channel and don't forget to sub

[@Lifrit]

I think basketball shoes would be a good match with them. Good ankle support and tight hold on your feet.

[@xdKAYf0lcflhDi7mfXRFkw]

not at all. Stick to indoor soccer and futsal shoes. Then crank up the top buckle.

[@888alphaable]

This is my first vid in 2160p, legit 4k--and from this channel, too! Gotta notice those technical skills, and the investment you put in to get them. When are we gonna see the Doops on the road? (Makes note for my beginner self to never get these.)

[@BINY_Channel]

Next video. I take them on a 14 mile trip. Stay tuned

[@888alphaable]

@@BINY_Channel I'm looking forward to it!

[@tomaseguchi5793]

@@BINY_Channel cannot find that video 😐

[@fisherchi]

I live in Florida and was thinking of buying these for the hot and humid summers here. Using regular skates makes my foot and shins sweat like crazy during the summer. I was thinking this might keep my feet cooler. But your negative review is making me think twice, especially since it is also expensive.

[@CraftyCuriosity]

I use them to skate in the office.

[@JordannGeorge]

when wearing your usual skates, do you adjust your frames or leave them as they came?

[@BINY_Channel]

Depends on the skate.

[@aladdinnyc]

very interesting!

[@nikoblading]

I wanna buy them so I never have to walk again

[@scotttran8682]

where is this park? ive been looking for a volleyball court in nyc

[@BINY_Channel]

Lol it's in Astoria Park,

[@RichHayterSkater]

This is disappointing. Not sure what I expected but I was thinking these might make a good travel skate? In saying that, you're not saving much in terms of space when carrying the skates and the only difference is you don't need to carry your shoes when rolling. Thanks for sharing.

[@InlineSkaterDad-]

The flip flops of inline skates. Except shittier. You were dooped, bruh.

[@paul_k_7351]

Best comment lol

[@SarahhLOVABLE]

Any updates for these skates ?

[@BINY_Channel]

They are honestly bad, as you can get far better skates for the same price. The gimmicky idea of keeping your shoes on is not worth what you sacrifice in exchange. Maybe if they were $100 cheaper it would be ok. I never use these skates, in fact I'm trying to sell them and no one will buy them even at a very low price

[@SarahhLOVABLE]

@@BINY_Channel I found them for much cheaper as well so I've been contemplating!

[@Neberheim]

@@BINY_Channel still selling?

[@lukasf5256]

I agree a 100%

[@RebelChumps]

Lol Xjado skates have been loved for many years I love them but I think with those big ass wheels they don't work that well

[@michaelscullion8275]

Well looks like going back the way like old school skates from 50 and 60 strap to your feet i stick to boots

[@jeanastro156]

Powerslide 125mm wheels is much more better when your skating around manhattan streets due to "125mm wheels" can defeat the concrete of Manhattan, causing skaters to skate effortlessly and swaggy!!!!

[@Gabeoats]

Yup definitely just casual skates. lol

[@filipivan5125]

Badly priced Powerslide Poop.

[@fufu1405]

I just don't get the appeal of these. They're bulky and silly. Sure, you can walk around in shoes and then put them on, but they just seem so gimmicky.

[@AllUneedisLuvLuv]

For me the appeal as a beginner was having the option to switch to shoes if I skated somewhere and was too scared to get the rest of the way home. Like if the hill was steeper than i realized and well beyond my skating ability or I needed to cross a street and didn't want to fall in front of people. I had ordered doops as my beginner pair because i thought being able to take them off would be such an amazing feature. But after trying them on, i realized they were not at all ideal and i sent them back and got real skates instead. I've been very happy i made that decision and love the urban skates i got instead.

[@fufu1405]

@@AllUneedisLuvLuv I think it's important to get skates that perform very well as a beginner, so you don't get burned out by having sloppy skates. Even if you're scared you might have to take them off mid session, you're gonna have a pair of shoes with you anyway. I'm just writing this for the people who are thinking of buying these.

[@ValenSerethi]

I do a lot of long distance skating, I also use skates as my go to means of getting around my city, especially in summer. Taking off my shoes and having to carry them around when switching between shoes and skates is annoying. The idea Doop Skates are about shouldn't be abandoned, it's not gimmicky, it's pretty awesome and practical for some people. Execution was for shit, though.

[@JayG-qm2kn]

​I agree. The idea is not gimmicky and actually very practical for commuters. I really hope PS or someone else redesigns Doop and fixes the issues, because the concept still has so much potential. Where Doop seemed to fail was in three key areas: 1. the fully modular skate was not modular where it needed it the most: accommodating higher and wider shoes (which apparent most people had and wanted to use with the Doop exoskeleton at the very high price of the skates); 2. the quality (control): the quality of the size adjustment mechanism seemed to have plagued all versions from Swift 1 to Yellow 100 (likely the biggest reason why many failed to like Doop) 3. While better than changing into and out of normal skates, they were heavy and for most, also finicky and just as slow to put on as the normal skates. Had I known all that beforehand, I would have passed on Doop altogether, but with some tweaks and care over the years, I still use my 1st gen Swift 1 for commuting.
