DOOP SWIFT 100 REVIEW // 2017 INLINE SKATE FROM POWERSLIDE

[@adamf.4823]

The Apple earpod microphone sounds great! Very surprising. I'm sure there are many beginner youtubers who would appreciate the convenience, simplicity and cost effectiveness of using the existing mic on their earpods. I'm sure very few would suspect how clean the sound quality can be!

[@RicardoLino]

Adam Frisoli I though so too. That's why I tested it. I think I wanna make a video one of these days just trying to get more people into sing their own videos. Like like hacks that can make your videos better without a big investment ! Thanks for the comment 🙏🏼

[@breaktheloop]

After watching this review, I bought Doop Swift 100 for commuting and I love them. They are convenient to take on and off with my regular shoes, and have made my commute way faster (and more fun) than walking.

[@gsotoaz]

Thanks for the review. I have the Doop Swift 2015, I really like them. I replaced the Velcro straps (they suck) with clicking lock straps

[@breaktheloop]

Thank you for a thorough review with covering differences of this year's model, the boot components, and tips on using Doops. One suggestion for future videos: please show putting on and off the boots (with lacing and straps), so we can see how fast and easy it is to put on and remove the skates. Great video - I subscribed, liked, and looking forward to your future videos!

[@RicardoLino]

thank you soo much!

[@shaein49]

Your mic sounds great! lol Thanks so much for this video. I've been looking everywhere for a good review on the Doop skates. You sold it for me bro!

[@JoachimMoeller]

I just got my Freestyle IIIs a week ago. Beforehand I read plenty of people complaining that they loved their Doops (velcro type, freestyle I, II or classic or whatever) but that the velcro had worn out. Mine are pure buckle. Oddly enough the Freestyle IV (less orthopedic look I could do without, white won't be white for long, and better looking) has velcro again. All top model Doops have buckles so it could be a cost saving thing. It takes a bit longer to get in and especially out of buckled ones, but I love the buckles.

[@3Heads6Arms]

Hey Lino, I own 3 pairs of doops. I can agree with you about shoes :D I remove the shock absorber when I use runners shoes. The other problem that you haven't mention that is the pain from ankle pads in front, they press on top of your feet, if your shoe doesn't have fat tongue, it might hurt on the long run. Or maybe I do it wrong, if yes can you point me the detail how to wear it right so that the skate doesn't press that hard on top of my feet.

[@RicardoLino]

Anh Hoang that's a cool idea for the running shoes without shock absorbers :) but like u said too is too soft and still the shape of the sole on the sides usually makes it weird right ?

[@3Heads6Arms]

Yes, it have some weird shift of my foot position on it compared to others flat shoes. And about too soft part, I try to pick shoes with thicker tongue. I don't know how you manage to ride with converse, they are paper thin. But I love Doops, all these years. For normal strides, few basic slides, handle jumps and I can't complain!

[@JoachimMoeller]

Reason I ended up here was just looking for something about the type of shoes to use. I just saw a bunch of promo videos with some superb skaters just to check their shoes and they were very pretty much all wearing shoes similar to the camo looking ones you recommended so I finally found my answer. Very helpful video 👍😆

[@Jimmywinkel]

Just bought the Doop freestye IV Brown - I prefer the 80 mm 4 wheel setup - but honestly, this review sold me on these 100mm 3 wheelers. I might just go and buy these!

[@paramarcio]

Liked the humanos music at the end! Also the review, nicely done with relevant content and detailed infos.

[@fayyazb]

Thanks Lino! Awesome! Love the idea of wearing your VANS sneakers and slip this on whenever required! Is this better than the ones with the Boots?

[@santiagorodriguez2836]

BIG thank you. Just got the 2016 model and not into them. so sad about it but i think is my shoes. I figured all shoes worked but so far i have tried this with the 2 shoes you did not recommend. Thanks again.

[@RicardoLino]

hope you make them work man !!

[@RicardoLino]

the sole sould be also as hard as pssible..as the boot is not as solid and supportive as a refular hardboot, we need a stiff shoes..or the skate gets more unstable

[@santiagorodriguez2836]

you think this would work? www.amazon.com/DC-Nyjah-Vulcanized-Sneaker-Black/dp/B00HOA75TI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502383575&sr=8-3&keywords=red+skating+shoes+for+men+dc also my right skate caves in. I skated all my life but i felt incredibly paralyzed to the point that i had to remove them. you said that these guys can be adjusted. in other words you can move the blade right? Lastly you know if there is a way to adjust to my shoe size so it will not slide back and forth at all. Sorry for all the questions but seriously you have been the only person who has the inside info on this. Not even the doop website tells you these things. Again thanks a million

[@fallowx]

Very interesting review ! It's the first skates review that i'm very satisfying about ! And I'm not looking for doop skates at all lol, but now when it will be the time (even if I'm not looking for doop at right now, I know I'll buy it in the futur for transportation) I will know how to put them on (the part on which type of shoes should we use to use for the doop skates was very relevant) etc. Thanks

[@RicardoLino]

thank you soo much for this comment man!! :) makes me wanna do more and more videos :D

[@ruanvinfo]

Lino, eu tive um desse versão 22014-15 o verde, era muito instável, aqui no Brasil temos ruas muito ruins e usando ele sentia demais os buracos o que eu achei estranho por ser um triskate de 100mm. Mais essa versão parece bem melhor construído, ainda assim trocaria a base por uma supercruiser.

[@zaibo]

I know it’s 4 years ago but I was wondering where I could get this model? The white one looks sick!

[@Berecz]

so these are basically Xsjado's without a soulplate with a big ass frame mounted on :)

[@eserve1048]

Those camo shoes are sick!

[@maciekdrzewicki2558]

Hey, can i ask you a question? Are these skates really stable enough to do things like criss cross etc.?

[@rj2648]

the microphone works just fine - congrats for the video!

[@cranespud]

awesome video full of info, thanks mate!

[@RicardoLino]

cranespud thank you very much for the feedback 🙏🏼❤️

[@hindsightbymchview6554]

Why can’t you find these anywhere online anymore? Everyone is only selling he sunrise version that had all the issues can’t find the 2017s

[@merodychildo]

what size did you get? im a size 42, should i get the small one? thanks! love your vids!

[@siljoe84]

Ricardo tú eres un duro.

[@andrepaulsen2660]

Personally I would not buy this unless when I grow up I lose all my skates, but it is a very awesome skate, I'd recommend it to anyone starting off skating

[@rongning]

great video . you cleared my every doubt . cheers

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

these would make so dope uni skates

[@d-meth]

So skateboarding shoes will work great =)

[@britesynth]

Would you happen to know if the swift boot will fir the megacruiser 125 frame set? Thanks

[@Xanderoos]

I wonder if the frame is "rockered" to accommodate a 110mm wheel if you decide to go bigger. Powerslide says these skates will fit a 110mm wheel.

[@RicardoLino]

Alex Rose well I can try;) let me try tomorrow . Please comment again and remind me ;)

[@RicardoLino]

hi dude..you cant put 110 on this frame unless you shave the front of the frame..even with the wheels rockered down...its doable but needs some tool work ;)

[@Xanderoos]

Thanks for checking that out! Too bad... would be a great feature to help minimize the space between the boot and wheel when using different size wheels. Probably just a typo on Power slides product page then.

[@mastichka]

Hi Lino, I intent to do such thing on these mainly for more (?)comfort on bad tarmac and to test myself If I can deal with that 5 mm extra height like I did with 100. Just wanted to ask what do you think if such frame shaving and compromising the frame construction will be sensible during skating like during losing grip on the hairpins. Losing warranty is ok - I'm going for 125 on the next year if 110 are ok for me although a lot of local sidewalks are more SUV :) P.S. I've got these after the review.

[@blankly01]

Is it safe to use barefoot shoes with doops or should skate shoes be used instead?

[@Zoli4119]

I believe the word you're looking for is fasten.

[@RicardoLino]

Zoli that's works ;) 🙏🏼ahaha . Thanks

[@MrJlmmeh]

nice video! i thought about getting doops for a while to commute ocasionaly back home with them but i hear it's really uncomfortable to ride these with regular shoes since they get sweaty etc; care to elaborate your view on this? Thanks

[@RicardoLino]

MrJlmmeh the shoes make a huge difference . Like I say in the video. You want something low, slim and flat on the sides and in the tongue is bit puffy wil be more comfortable . I like this ones a lot , again, with the right shoes !! 🙂👊🏼

[@matthiaswild8888]

Thanks for the Video. Do you know whether the often-heard Quality issues of doop Skates have been taken care of in the new trinity models?

[@anthonyfong4922]

Hi Lino, great videos. Can the frame be changed or are you stuck with the stock frame? E.g. can I change this to aggressive skate frame or freestyle frame? Thank you.

[@wauroware]

Will you try the new DOOP with trinity mount? I'm really undecided about which ones to choose if the old Doop Freestyle III with 4x80mm or the new trinity with 3x100mm p.s: the audio is really good, I'm really surprised

[@skyukluz7578]

I'm a student so I was wondering if there's a place that sells these skates but pre owned so I can get them cheaper, any suggestions?

[@roman2374]

Serious question: I only own cowboy boots for shoes - do you think I could skate with those using my good ol' boots? (They fit like a second skin) EDIT: just realised you kinda answered question already about too high of a heel. :)

[@wesmcgregor7715]

Can I get your opinion. ...if I wear about a size 42 - 43. Would you recommend getting the smaller size and extending them all the way out, or getting the bigger set and having it on one of the shortest settings?

[@ewganhoff]

Wes McGregor I just went through the same problem. My size is right in the middle of the large and small size doops. Some of my shoes would use the small some the large. I have ordered the small size Swift 3(pink/yellow/blue) a couple of days ago so I haven't got them yet. I'll let you know here how it goes.

[@wesmcgregor7715]

Cool. ....yes, please let me know what you find out......!

[@ewganhoff]

Wes McGregor My size 42 and 43 shoes fit just fine. I do have a much bigger problem, though. There is almost no ankle support. The first time I stood up the skates flexed so much the side of the boot hit the ground. I'm going to try moving the frame more to the outside of the foot to see if that helps, but I think, sadly, I'm going to be sending them back. 😞

[@ewganhoff]

Wes McGregor Update: I am sending them back. I adjusted the frames all the way to the outside and it made almost no difference. If you've seen that other rollerblader blogger that put frames on a par of flip-flops, that's what they feel like to me - they flex so much I'm afraid they're going to snap. I honestly don't know how anyone skates them.

[@wesmcgregor7715]

ewganhoff....thanks for your input. I like a very firm solid boot that molds my foot tightly....so with your input I think I'll probably pass on these also...I like the idea of using a separate walking shoes...but I did wonder how solid off a feel these would have.....thx ! Lino makes them look easy though...!

[@eboktoab663]

The sound is perfect Late comment...lol😊

[@Xanderoos]

Thank you for the review! What is the frame length (mm)? I can't find it anywhere...

[@RicardoLino]

Alex Rose I don't want to say anything wrong but just used a tape measure and from middle of front axle to rear 252mm 🤙🏼

[@Xanderoos]

THE LINO LIFE that's good enough for me! Thank you!

[@CutieKala]

Your microphone is working good. =)

[@prostefrajer5803]

Have you got a merch ??

[@zekexci]

Any chance of trinity version of the Doop? :) until then,do you think ,with some "works" a trinity frame could be adapt to it? thanks for the review

[@RicardoLino]

its coming out soon ;)

[@zekexci]

Ahhhh great news!!!!! Can't wait, thx

[@EladZalman]

I have the same pain from ankle pads in front when I bend my knees and from the tongue on the sides... i see the tongue in your doop is very high, How do you manage to do that? Do you have any suggestions?

[@3Heads6Arms]

If the tongue of the doop is high, you lose stability. My freestyle doop 3 have the leather piece, that holds buckle on same level as cuff, broke off and the ankle pad of that doop can be really high(whenever i bend knees or with few strides), at the cost of stability when landing jumps or whatever fancier tricks.

[@PaulA-jg7vt]

I also have horrible, horrible pain from the edge of the tongue/ankle pad digging into the sides of my leg. I bought my Doops sight-unseen with no return here in Taiwan. The tongue design is molded plastic that is shaped with a sharp edge that jabs straight into my leg. I've heated up and reshaped the plastic a bit. I have to wait until the blisters and bruising are healed before I can tell if it will work. I've noticed that there seem to be a lot of different tongue designs from Powerslide. Some of the Xsjado skates have very cut down tongues with rounded corners (my Doops have a very tall tongue and a sharp protruding corner). The current tongues seem to have much more padding than my Doop Classic Blues. I really, really want to like the Doops, but the tongue is incredibly painful. I have incredibly wide feet and Doops allow me to wear comfortable shoes while skating. However, the tongue design is pure torture. Is there a place to order new tongue assemblies?

[@mastichka]

Hi, Lino, awhile after the review I've got these as my starter and already two months enjoy them but was thinking about changing the frame set with some 125 mm like the PS Megacruiser or GC tri-skate mainly for comfort's sake cause where I live the tarmac in local parks is from decent to awful and wanted to reduce the vibrations on my joints being an old guy. Will it be fine or the 125 mm would be too much for a DOOP-skate?

[@j0shlumahan]

mastichka I have the exact same setup (Doop classic boot + 125mm Megacruisers). It works well. Plus, the speed is exhilarating.

[@mastichka]

Thanks for the reply. The thing is three weeks ago I decided to go cheaper and followed Lino's reply to some guy in the comments to shave a bit the original frame so it can accommodate 110s thus sparing some cash buying wheels only except that I had to shave not only the frame but the plastic above the 1-st and second wheel as well but I'm happy with that so far at least until I have the money to buy 125mm skates like Swell.

[@ureviews]

Nice video! Where is this place?! looks gorgeous!

[@RicardoLino]

this is in Cape Town, South Africa. thank you

[@EGGMANHA]

Music sounds like it is from sakamoto kun anime

[@avexules]

do you think its good to get them as my first skates?

[@RicardoLino]

depending on the use you will give them yes!!! ;) what will you be using them for and how often?

[@avexules]

thanks for the quick answer and awesome review :) well i would use them for transportation and practicing my comfort with free skating in the streets...

[@RicardoLino]

if you´re not going to be doing tricks and impact gaps on it, and use it mostly for transportation is amazing!! a good thing is that you can keep the shoes you would wear to go where you want..and thats a very cool thing..

[@encapsulatio]

Is Doop the only manufacturer on the planet that makes skates you can use with your own shoes?

[@paulkerry5583]

Heel brake stall 😂

[@RicardoLino]

🙂ahaha.. now imagine with both ... would need an extra heel stop

[@paulkerry5583]

THE LINO LIFE Hahaha 👌

[@TravisHerben]

I like the Boobaka. I think Lino is on to something. Maybe we should embrace the heel brake more. Saves your wheels some ware. It would be funny to see some heel brakes on aggressive skates. haha!

Pls turksh translation?

Soy el único que pensó que estaría en español :''v

[@wkt5916]

Mine had the adjustment system bolt fell out on the first day. The boots are very uncomfortable skating backwards. It's a bit annoying to put than on. I put on my seba skates faster than doop. So don't buy it

[@arjiegravador6622]

can you give me skate
