Inline skating is dangerous. In some situations, I may choose to skate
without protective gear at my own risk. I highly encourage the use of protective gear.

Thanks for watching!

Being eying them since I bought huge 100/84 advanced wizard frame 😂 god the temptations never ends ! Aside from dat, jeez man those lions and stsunamis look so good ! Keep up the good work :) And based on my experience with the wizard advanced frame 100/84, these kind of frames are really good on urban skatin.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I hear ya on the constant want for product lol

[@nicolaeiotu7362]

I own a pair of dragon+ and I must say that those are for EU size 43 and above, and a rigid boot with very good support. Now I'm waiting for the Black Friday to get a proper boot and downsize.

[@daviddaelemans969]

Love them, my favorite till now

[@alexoleksa7743]

great video/skating man! I've had my eye on NN 5 x 80 ufs frames for a little bit. Appreciate your views on the set up

[@WheelyArt]

Good wizard skating skills there,awesome.

[@nicolaeiotu7362]

Now frankly speaking it seems you handle these dragons better than other wizard frames 😊

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

I run a heavy grit sandpaper over my wheels when new to remove the top shiny layer. Works a charm 👌🏾

[@ThirtyandRollin]

That's a great idea. Stealing it!

[@Casual_BackPacking]

Those frames look amazing 👏

[@JiandiP]

Interested to hear your thoughts on them in the skate park. I have a very similar setup and besides the added mass and lack of h-block, I am having a lot of fun exploring my limits.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

O ya I will rip these in the skatepark!

[@jakkejakaali849]

Hey man, awesome vid. Can't wait to see how they work in the urbs !

[@jakobc1998]

Oh man, my least favorite part of skating is a brand new set of wheels. They just stick too much until they're scrubbed in some. Nice review though, I love my NN Ronins (4x100) for urban and leisure skating, never really dove into wizard stuff though. If I had one complaint, it's that I wish they were a little lighter but I know that would reduce the rigidity some

[@rururu5630]

I do love skating new wheels when the new wheels are better quality than your previous wheels. I really fell in love with my skates after I wore down the stock wheels and replaced them with Hydrogen wheels. They are still awesome months after the replacement.

[@jakobc1998]

@@rururu5630 Oh yeah, hydrogens are great. I just don't like wheels that are brand new because they're too sticky for me to do things like powerslides well. I have to wear in both sides of the wheels a little bit, that's when they're at their best for me

[@Casual_BackPacking]

Lol the metal shielded bearings

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yep

[@WheelyArt]

Yes,show us these in the street please

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Will do.

[@WarlockSkating]

Love the vid!! Been looking at other mixed wheel setups since I’ve been rocking the Iqon decode 100. Definitely feeling the inability to swap wheels once they’re on but I’ve loved the setup nonetheless. Can these accept a monkeyblock h-block?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Great question, I think so.

[@garys.2291]

My understanding is that 5 wheel setups are strictly for downhill runs, needed for extra stability and control at very high speeds.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

This is true if it's a flat 5 wheel setup.

[@jednickaprvni-rk2mw]

I have been rollin on my MF500 for almost a year and i have just mounted Rockin' MIX4 100/90 to get more speed and balance. I have never been in a skatepark yet but i would like to try and learn how to pump half pipe. Do i need aggresive skates for that or is my setup good enough? I believe MF500 are Freestyle skates so its not a full hard shell. I always thought Aggressive skates are made just for grinding. Is there any benefit other than grinding? Like stability? I can also mount back my old 4x80mm setup if that helps.

[@dariuszlis4412]

Hi, I'm looking for 5x wheels frame for my twister edge X size 44.5 / uk 10 I was thinking first about dragon 5x80 it will be mostly for wizard skating. I was also thinking about Endless ARC ES. That will be my first 5x frame. I wondered what is your thoughts and some advice . Regards

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I have not been on the arc yet but I do love my dragons!

[@108mmbb]

It’s been a few months since you made this video. Has your opinion on these frames changed at all? My boot is a size 8-9 so an EU size 41-42, idk if these frames would feel too long.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Nope I still love them and are on my boots currently.

[@drewfleming1]

Once the wheels are broken in do you ever rotate them to make them last longer?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yep, once I see a wedge forming I rotate.

[@terrablader]

Old 5 wheel skater here going back to the Rollerblade Slalom Blades, then to offroad skating, coyotes, then my the monster skates Terrablades 200x50mm wheels. (kite,trail, and powered) youtube.com/@terrablader?si=hkLAV-vpsg1xeiOe Then a 5 wheel Bont Sniper 3 frame 84 with twister boots. Which 5 wheel frame would you recommend. I got the Endless Arc ES have not used yet I kind of like those dragons better, I just skate around now some hills.

[@zadedsouza5950]

Is there a possibility that the heel brake can get worn out because I really need a honest opinion about it

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yes it does.

[@zadedsouza5950]

Thanks

[@Casual_BackPacking]

Get them on a carbon boot

[@Sinaju081]

Dude more any type of videos will do

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Thank you.

[@Casual_BackPacking]

Get them on a carbon boot
