My favorite inline skate setups! | Inline Skating Thoughts

[@sherbetyeezys8648]

I wish pro rollerbladers did "my setup" videos like this. Pro skateboarders talk about there shoe and board setups and it gives you tips to try on your own setups and insight into why they do certain things.

[@BlackyRay_Patrick]

Powerslide offers pro skates which are some of their existing skates with modifications chosen by the pros. (like different liner or specific colour setup)

[@Slixydwb]

I've had a lot of trouble with trying to find the right skates that aren't too expensive but this is a really good way for me to find the right thing

[@Greg-tj8rg]

Love the video. Once I get really familiar with my 4x80 frames I think I'll splurge on a 4x100 rockered frame.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

You will have so much fun once you get used to the extra length.

[@Deliverygirl]

I got the Rollerblade RB boots two sizes up because my size felt too tight, the boots felt great at first but after close to 11 months of using them daily they feel a bit too big now, the liner is all broken in and I do like to wear thicker socks but I'm totally going to get a much tighter fit boot next time.

[@kenmastersmaster]

Rbs are really wide... No reason to size up on those at all

[@Deliverygirl]

@@kenmastersmaster I tried them out at the skate shop and I absolutely had to size up, my size was painfully tight (much more so than usual before break-in). That's why I always recommend people go to a skate shop and try on the skates before you buy them. We all have differently shaped bodies and each boot/shell is different. Only way to know is to try them!

[@JaumeAguileraBadia]

I bought the RB DA in a skate shop and I have the same problem. A year after they feel big for my foot...

[@DazTheMe]

I got the twister edge 3x110 after watching your first video on it...and all the advice online was size up size up....I risked it and got my size...and it was tight...its taken alot of wearing in but I'm so glad I didn't size up. They fit like a glove now with minimal discomfort and I love em. Hoping to get the NN Ronin frames maybe next summer when money isn't so tight. Also...would the maxxum edge top ratchet buckle fit on the twister edge? would be an interesting upgrade maybe? thanks for the content you put out mate.

[@kenmastersmaster]

I have twisters ranging from 10.5 to 12.5. I'm probably a 10 in RB cruisers. With the skate shortage I had to size up because that's all I could find.. Sometimes I appreciate a huge boot because it gives me a longer frame (255 vs 243) and generally more inertia and stability due to the added weight.. No issue with ankles and the center and top strap get rid of all the play if cinched down enough. I think ideally I would be perfect in an 11.5 twister.

[@bladeworks5012]

I have been thinking about a big wheel setup for a while and it is really hard to decide nowadays, but after watching this video I think 4x100 setup will be the most ideal, I was thinking about a 4x90 - 3x110 mixed frame but if I would have a 4x100 option probably 3x110 would not be needed, even if there would be a 4x100 - 3x125 option it would not be necessary either, probably somehow it would compromise something, looks like 4x100 is the best option for urban environment, it will eat up everything on it’s way, bad asphalt, cracks, stairs nothing can stand!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

4x100 rockered is a great all round urban setup imo. What size is your foot though?

Getting back into skating after about 30yrs. I had the lightning trs skates. It surprises me that more skates don't have adjustable rockers. I'm thinking about the Next Charcoal 90 skates, partly because they seem to have the absolute best options for rocker adjustment.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

There are tons of rockered frame options now but mostly all aftermarket frames.

[@PeerensClement]

Some good info here, thanks. I just bought some Roces M12, they are a bit snug, hope to break them in or get a thinner liner for them. Myfit second skin seems like it would make em fit wider? Love your frames there, but buying new liner, new frame, new wheels, this is getting to be a very expensive set of skates 😅. Cheers!

Yes that liner will help and yes skates can get spendy quick if you are trying to make them fit and roll to your liking.

Best review vid I've seen so far. Keep up the great work.

[@pastelshoal]

What you're talking about: going really fast but still having a lot of space for centre grinds such as a frontside is exactly what I'm looking for. I started a few months ago and I love it, but my M12 LOs feel really slow to me (58mm antirocker). I actually do really like the anti-rocker, but it's also nice to see how you can manage a flat setup with the smaller wheels which helps my fear of wheelbite. I think I have a EUR 43/ US 11, since you have about the same, what Oysi frame length do you use?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I use the classic length.

[@jaysongrayson370]

Hey man. Big fan. What wheels do you recommend? I love hydrogen but they are out of stock everywhere I've looked. Subscribed! I'm Rollin FR1s with endless 100 frames. Do mostly urban freeskating.

[@TheVeganTravelShow]

What size wheel is good for learning on? The Next 80, Next 90 and Imperial 80 are the three that seem most appealing, the 80 seem to be most common - does that mean they are more accomodating for beginners? I am not new to skating, just haven't done it for 20 years. Would love to know your thoughts. Mostly will be used to skate for exercise, cruising down paths at the beach & probably won't ever 'hit' at rail for fear of hitting my head on something when I inevitably fall. I guess the style of skating is urban freeskating?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yep the 80mm is the standard now days and a great all-round size. Also good for people just starting or coming back into it. You can go bigger if the areas you are skating are rough to help smooth it out.

[@TheVeganTravelShow]

@@ThirtyandRollin great, thanks 😊

[@gordonhorse4283]

Will I'm still looking for a set up. Just found out about A2A 87 miles would love to do it but what skate to use. Seen the perfect skate on KZbin. Endurance traveler learns to inline skate. Check it out if you get a chance. Even got a brake only thing it's from 12 years ago. Looked online but couldn't find them. And I'm still looking for a boots to put the frame and wheels from the Maximum. What do you think about putting them on the tempish black ice hood. Been looking at a bunch of different skate to put the Maximum frame on even the seba marathon 325 but at 599 us don't want to get them and be disappointed. Tried to put them on my rollerblade 90mm 165 mount but the middle wheel just touches. If you have any suggestions please let me no. Wide foot. Hard or soft boot or a little of both. Enjoy the video

[@davesskatechannel6518]

Totally second the feeling of anti-rockers, feels like riding a tank. Did the intuitions allow you to downsize with the M12s?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Not necessarily down size but fit the crazy narrow shell.

[@JaumeAguileraBadia]

Thanks for your video. How is the frame mount in your urban setup called? Is there a way to mount us frame to this boot?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

The Twister boot is a 165 mount. You would have to add a block under the heel to mount UFS to it.

[@caymangibb8417]

Fitment help.. Watched this and picked up a pair of Roces M12 Lo Nils Jansons. I love them but even a size up is tight(13).. do you know if switching to the Intuition V2 liners will help? I know 13-14 use the same shell size is why. Thank you for any help and keep up the videos and skating👍🏻

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Sizing up and Intuition prolly wont help much if there is a lot of pressure. These are a narrow shell. You may have a wider or fuller volume foot.

[@jamb4741]

Great vids! I recently got back into blading after 20 yrs and got me a pair of M12s and metroblades. I was wondering what size intuition liners you got- small or medium? and have you tried the reign liners? I feel we would be a 9 in the reign liners.

[@james-ted-garland]

What a great idea for a video 😉😁

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Lol thank you! Came in handy since I couldn't get out to skate.

[@jordskates]

This goes for both setups, how do you deal with wheel rotation? I skate long distance with 4x80 (flat) and 3x125 setups. Im interested in getting a 4x100 or 110 rockered but I cant get my head around how I rotate the wheels. The same applies to the Oysi frames. When I rotate wheelz on my flat 4x80 setup I use a really old school diagram showing which wheels to switch but this diagram assumes all 4 wheels arw the same size and flat

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Great question! I'm no expert on this but I personally just flip the wheels in place so wedge out on a rockered setup. You can flip 1 to 4 and 2 to 3 if you want, then flip the wedge out. If you want to keep a less rockered setup you can swap them the normal way on a flat setup.

[@masterorion3]

I bought calipers for like $20. I like to have a bit of forward lean as I rotate wheels so the smallest goes up front.

[@HollowSaga-]

Hey there thirty+rollin, I’m a beginner to skating just bought my first pair of skates (m12 malva) but I’m having a very hard time grasping the fundamentals due to me realizing that I’m on 4 wheels anti rocker setup instead of 8 flat which I have 0 experience so I its been difficult to gain any momentum/speed to even begin learning how to maneuver and posture properly for basic skating, I was wondering if you’d have any wheel recommendations that way I can either replace the 2 middle wheels on each boot or just replace all 8 wheels entirely, other then that I was going to replace the laces as you mentioned but don’t know specifically what brand is best for wax laces, I’ll keep everything else on the boots stock for now . The reason why I went with this specific skate was because I love the classic design and my intention was to learn the basics and after I grasped an understand of them to then transition into grinding

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yes you need to be on a flat (or rockered) setup to learn basic inline skate moves. Anti-rocker are great for learning grinds but terrible for learning how to skate. I would just grab an 8 set of 60mm wheels in the 85-88a hardness range for that stock M12 frame. Or you could get a freestyle frame for a larger wheel setup.

[@HollowSaga-]

@@ThirtyandRollin thank you for replying and yea I think I chose to learn how to skate on an expert skater type of skate setup lol oops beginners luck, can you by any chance guide me to a link that way I make sure I don’t purchase the wrong type of wheels, also I do have another question because the skates came already lit together, do bearings break if I’m changing the wheels?

Yes you can! Just grab the UFS mount version of the NN Skates Ronin frame. The boot support won't be quite as good as the Twister but should be fine. You may look to the NN Skates Ninja frame(4x90mm) since the boot is a bit less supportive.

Bearings dont matter at all! That should now after more than 30 years be general knowledge in the community. Watch the video about bearings on the Thisissoul channel and never think or speak about bearings again.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I would have to respectfully disagree on this point. If you roll a cheap set of bearings in a big park it will hinder your ability to naturally launch without trying to toss yourself into the air as well as more easily keep momentum. This is a bit less apparent when big wheeling around town but I can still feel a huge difference in some nice ILQ9 bearings over a cheaper set. This being said I do think the abec rating is meaningless for skaters.

@@ThirtyandRollin What is "cheap"? Too much grease slows bearings down by a bit, but that has nothing to do with the price bc you can get that result even with expensive bearings. Bearings dont matter at all! And that is true on so many levels. ILQ9 bearings are not faster. Faster than what, Wicked 7 or SKF 5?

They also have a rubber shield which makes it 10x easier to clean. I am sure there are more inexpensive bearings out there that could compete with the ones I have but I don't want to go looking or testing different greases on them to find out if they work as well.
