[@CamGoodTimes]

Thanks for creating this, Tim! It's great you are helping draw new people into the sport this way. I think too many avoid blading after experiences with terrible skates.

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Thanks a lot, Cameron! Yeah, my own very first pair were crappy, near unskateable fitness skates, but luckily, I didn't really notice how bad they were until I got me some better quality blades. 😄

[@kenmastersmaster]

@@TheRollingRaptor exactly. Started with slow soft blades for $50. Almost gave up because of how shitty they were, until I accidently discovered twisters and then everything made sense. Even the rb cruisers are good and can be had for $100 on sale.

[@timmorphine]

Recommended them to my beginner friend. You and other KZbinrs' reviews for the decathlon skates gave me new hope for good budget skates

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Cool! Thank you! 🤘

[@RichHayterSkater]

Nice review, Dude! And thanks for the shoutout! 🙌😁 I still love my MF500! I always recommend them for beginners. My first pair are still rolling well. The liners are pretty much done, but everything else on them is just fine! I’ve been rolling these with the Rockin’ mixed 100/90 frame for months, and I thought it’d feel weird going back to a 4x80, but they feel really natural and playful to me! Would defo like to hook these up to a Rockin’ 4x90 though!👌 Keep up the great content, my friend! 👍😁

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Thanks a lot, Rich! 🤘🤘🤘 The Rockin’ 490 not only looks awesome on my white-yellow MF500, that combo definitely flies! I was soaring over a pumptrack without effort. Big, big fun. 😊

[@kenmastersmaster]

I think the oxello and flying eagles are basically the same mold that's why the oxello are so good. And decathlon offers wholesale pricing that's why they're half the flying eagle price. Drawback on the oxello are 2 piece axles and 7mm spacers in the bearings instead of 8mm ufo spacers and axles But you guys swap frames anyway so it's doesn't really matter

[@WheelyArt]

I bought a pair for my stepdaughter,really good.I loved the story about the Flemish defeating the French 😂😂😂😂

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Haha, thank you! 🤘 Hope your stepdaughter is gonna love blading as much as we do. 🙂

[@janosch1097]

Great to hear a review from an experienced skater. Bedankt Tim! I usually don't shill for companies, especially not big ones, but Decathlon provides some good stuff.

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Thank you! Graag gedaan. 🙂 I've written a book about Decathlon Belgium a couple of years ago, and all the people I met, truly believe in the mission of making sports available to as many people as possible. They're aware they're not perfect, they've still got a lot of work to do to make the company more sustainable, but I've seen a company that is run by passionate people, not by managers trying to grab a bonus at all costs. For me, that's a good thing to know when reviewing a product of such a big company.

[@cooldo]

Looking forward to your next test of MF500 on golden frames!

[@jacobpaint]

I'm just getting back into rollerblading. I thrashed my K2 Camanos many years ago before I stopped skating. I never really got into learning about the different options back then but if I continue my push to get comfortable skating again I might try something different than the Rollerblades I picked up a few years ago but haven't used much until now. I'm enjoying your entertaining narration with your distinctive voice and accent... “Warm yellow”, otherswise known as orange but it works ;)

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Thank you! Great to hear that. 🤘 Hope you’ll soon feel comfortable on skates again. This is such a rewarding sport once you’re at ease rolling around. I do have to point out that in real life, those colours _were_ actually more warm yellow than orange. 😄😉

[@oxelo]

Nice video ! Thanks for this review 🔥🤙

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Thank you! 🤘 This skate's a real pleasure to ride. More vids coming up. 🙂

[@CocoAffenpo]

Damn the way you were talking was so comfy and relaxing, thank you for this great review!

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Oh, thanks a lot! Glad to hear that. 🤘😊

[@CocoAffenpo]

@@TheRollingRaptor I actually ordered these skates now, the dark blue colorway is on sale for 69€ (german decathlon) and I think this is an incredible deal. Ordered 2 sizes, hope one fits. Your video helped me to start a new hobby, keep it up! 🙂

[@TheRollingRaptor]

@@CocoAffenpo Wow! Cool! 🤘 Those dark blue MF500s were my first freeskates back in 2020. And I'm still using them (as my rain setup). 69 euros is an incredible deal indeed. Welcome to the sport! I bet you'll have a lot of fun. A tip: Skatefresh Asha has lots and lots of great tutorials for beginning inline skaters. I've learnt so much from her videos-she literally taught me how to skate. I've also got a playlist on my channel in which I compiled a ton of tutorials that I found useful and that helped me progress. If you've got questions: just ask!

[@CocoAffenpo]

@@TheRollingRaptor Cool, I'll watch your and her videos when I get the mf500, hope I'll survive the frist run 😅

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I agree! Inline skates are hands down the cheapest way to fun but where is your helmet!?!?!????

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Well, erm, the helmet was safely at home, having a rest, preparing itself for its comeback in my next video, a tutorial for dropping in fakie! 🙂

[@vladimirvojnovic9153]

They need to do something about those yellow wheels. Mine are wearing out and i don't want to replace them with whites.

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Yeah, they should offer those wheels separately. I told that to my contact person. He agreed, but it wasn’t up to him to do something about that.

Golden and rockered, Spoiler allert! Sounds like the 4×90 by rockin frames. 😎👍 I wished they has this color Option to all their frames, that how beautiful they are.

[@TheRollingRaptor]

I agree with every word you say! 😉😄🤘

[@nikolausheinemann6566]

@@TheRollingRaptor i would just get t'hem all in this color, no second thought haha. Catch you in the Next one fellow Wizard skater

[@kenmastersmaster]

Do you really have to return them? I don't think they want used skates back 😂 Good review. I agree about everything. Needs threaded frames and a longer frame for larger sizes. Maybe a 4x90 option as well. You can add your own grommets to the liners to lace them up all the way

[@TheRollingRaptor]

After this video, they let me know: you can keep ‘em as long as you make videos with them. Which of course was always what I had in mind. 😄 I’m gonna look into adding some grommets, thanks for the tip! 👍

[@kenmastersmaster]

Wow it's cool you can walk into a decathlon store and buy some $70 skates. In Miami we dont have many skate shops and The ones that are here you can't walk out with anything cheaper than $350 twisters or $400 fr1s

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Ooh, seriously? That’s a lot of money! Three years ago, I didn’t know a thing about inline skating and I walked into the very store you see in this video. I did know I wanted to buy inline skates, but I had no clue whatsoever which ones. So I bought the cheapest fitness skates I could find for 50 euros. I put them on tried to make my way home. (Peak clumsiness, I can assure you!) That’s where it all started for me. There’s some snobbery about Decathlon skates, but I know so many people who bought their first pair over there and later moved on to established brands. Decathlon is awesome for getting people into the sport and I’m convinced the industry as a whole benefits from its presence. I hope there’ll be a lot more Decathlon stores popping up in the States, it would make the sport bigger.

[@kenmastersmaster]

@@TheRollingRaptor yeah same. Started during pandemic during ROLLERBLADE hype. Before that I had some cool skates in the late 90s by rollerderby which after 10 years disintegrated from sitting in the closet Cut to I bought some blade runners. I think all these soft skates with riveted frames should be banned. They only turn most people away from blading.. Rebranded Alibaba crap.. Terrible wheels, terrible bearings, terrible liners, terrible shells, terrible terrible terrible

[@TheRollingRaptor]

@@kenmastersmaster Oh, yeah! Those look like skates, but are indeed rubbish boots on rubbish wheels! Cashing in on the hype, but ruining the sport. :-/

[@kenmastersmaster]

@@TheRollingRaptor yeah my first blades had something like 76mm 78a see thru green wheels. While tmnt mutagen ooze color was awesome in the 90s those wheels were so soft you had to work your ass off to get going past 5 mph, and then you immediately slow down and trip over every pebble and crack and felt like you're skating on sand and had to get new wheels every 2 weeks because of how soft and easily they wore out. I had no idea they made wheels like 88a spinners or hydrogens that you can roll over rough stuff and still keep your momentum going. Total game changer, a hard boot and hard wheels make.

[@jheevin]

I dol so cool ❤

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Thank you!

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Yeah! 🤘 Have fun with them.

[@chemareasalbaticiei]

Today i was at skate shop and i tried fr3 skates...but it was not comfortable on my feet...and after that i was on decathlon and bought oxelo mf500... it was more comfortable...i think is best buy on that price. Metal plates like fr3, 2 buckles like that one... i dont know if it was much more difference between fr3 and this!

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Yeah, the MF500 is incredible. I don't like the liner all that much, but the boot itself is great.

[@chemareasalbaticiei]

@@TheRollingRaptor for me it was more comfortable than fr3 and no pressure points, on the fr3 near laces hole under my anckle it was a pressure point who give me pain just when i tested... and i didnt want to buy it and try to mold it with heat gun later...and lose my warranty or destroy the hardboot.

[@TheRollingRaptor]

@@chemareasalbaticiei Totally understandable, you made the right choice! I had some pressure points on the back of my heel with the FR1. A different liner solved that problem, but I had had none of that with the Oxelo MF500. 🤷‍♂🙂

[@jednickaprvni-rk2mw]

So how did u fixed the ankle issue? :D I watched the whole video and didnt get the answer maybe i have missed it but i doubt it

[@TheRollingRaptor]

As I say in the video: I _didn’t_ have the ankle Issue. 😅 Some people do, and for them, I refer to Rich Hayter’s video. Link appears when I mention the ankle issue. 😉

[@lukasbrauneruv]

@@TheRollingRaptor thank you for your answer. I found out some people put foam between the Sock And the liner but i think i will rather buy ankle guards as i am still recovering from a running injury and my ankle still get swollen after some excersice (thats why my right ankle Feels pressure after a long session). Getting back to rollerblading on my oxelo MF500 and i like em alot they provide great stability and fits well to my wide feet (compared to more expensive TwisterXT). i am also 198cm And 98kg so pretty tall and heavy but the skates provide very good stability and support.

[@Goycrow]

i bought a new mf500 for 95€ , and can you recomend any inliner more confortable for this rollers?

[@TheRollingRaptor]

I'm using both the stock FR1 liner and the Seba Foryos liner (from the Seba CJ Prime) in my Oxelo MF500s. Both fit really well and allow you to lace up all the way to the top.

[@jelmarstijnen5183]

Hi Tim. Would you recommend the MF500 or MF900 for a beginner?

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Well, if you’re an absolute beginner, I’d recommend the MF500. The reason being is that the big 110mm wheels of the MF900 are a bit more difficult to get your posture right. Most beginning inline skaters suffer from pronation during their first months on skates, meaning that their feet fall to inside. With smaller wheels, it’s easier to correct that pronation and start to roll on the center edges of your wheels. But for me, the longer wheelbase of the MF900 is now more fun than the short 4x80 of the MF500.

[@jheevin]

❤❤

[@TheRollingRaptor]

🤘🤘🤘

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

I think these wheels are not SHR, right?! I tend to feel SHR wheels as much better. They're faster. Any thoughts about this?!

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Really: no idea. They roll okay, pleasantly even, and I didn’t feel they were slow, but I doubt they’re SHR. Couldn’t find any information about that either. For 90 euros, I wouldn’t expect the best wheels in the world. 😊

[@BuDu-ms2qe]

too bad Decathlon closed its doors around my area in New England USA. I have my eyes on the twisters and endless 90 setup though. Would you recommend I just go for the endless 100 and skip the 90's? I know it's OT thanks!

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Nah, I definitely prefer a 4x90 above a 4x100. The Endless 100 may be a bit faster, but it's also less swivelly. With its 273mm wheelbase, the Endless 90 still offers a lot of stability for riding stairs and jumping gaps, but it's also very agile. Almost feels magical. A rockered 4x90 is my favourite allround setup. If you'd go for the Endless 90, do take the Low Ride version, which is lower than the normal version, giving you more control. If you're still not sure whether 4x90 or 4x100 would suit you best, then maybe have a look at the Rockin' MIX4 100/90 frame.

[@kenmastersmaster]

@@TheRollingRaptor I bought a Maxxum edge frame I think it's 275mm and 4x90. Haven't skated it yet, my favorite is 255mm 4x80. Lately I've been using 3x110 255mm and 4x80 243mm but it feels a bit slippery with such short frames.

[@RazvanStefan]

How can I find those straps to tie my roller skates to any backpack?

[@TheRollingRaptor]

I honestly don't know whether such straps exist, but I've got the (cheap) Decathlon backpack that's especially designed for carrying inline skates: www.decathlon.be/nl/p/skate-rugzak-bp100-20-liter/_/R-p-304982?mc=8640240&gclid=CjwKCAjw_YShBhAiEiwAMomsEAhA72A3JHXvD_Cd3hgFJnszPjqC6hOEtLGUe9Jz88BELpLa2p1ySxoCAewQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@SuYa123]

I tried them on yesterday but they didnt fit me! They were so tight even though I tired bigger size! 😥 something I need to know?

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Oh, so sorry to hear that! I'm a EU42 (foot size 26.8cm) and I skate the MF500 42. The fit is snug but perfect for me. My MF900 is size 43 and that one's roomy, but extremely comfortable. Is the skate too narrow for your feet? An option could be to use the Foryos liner (from the Seba CJ Prime), to have more room inside of the shell. But that liner costs almost as much as the MF500, and then you're still not sure whether the fit's going to be alright. 😕 www.thisissoul.com/products/seba-foryos-cj-liner-black?variant=39943236681883 I hope you'll find a solution. 👍

[@mareksadowski9256]

Hi, I'm curious if these frames will be stiff enough for a heavy person (>100 kg)?

[@TheRollingRaptor]

Yeah, those frames certainly are robust enough. (A friend well over 100kg is also skating them.) Length is a different thing: if you’re rather tall, those frames can feel too short, certainly if you’re getting into jumping and stair riding.

Oh, wonderful! Tips for starters: always keep your shoulders above your toes, bend your knees and _practice every day._ Really, the more you practice, the faster you'll progress and the more fun you'll be having. When I started, I learnt a lot from the tutorials of Skatefresh Asha and Bill Stoppard. Watch videos of other skaters and try to do what they're doing. Be patient. Cherish every little step forwards. Enjoy the learning process. Just keep rolling.
