This is so funny I just messaged you on tik tok. You are one of the best out there all you hard work doesn't go unnoticed. And to my fellow new skaters I hope your journey w skating is beyond the best. Stay strong and practice 😘

Finally a review that goes over all three sizes!! Also im living for the yellow dress outfit because of how they matched the wheels💛

I appreciate that you appreciated that :) Happy you liked it!

[@diamondpearlgem7589]

@@simon_slays55 Your review was very good. What would you recommend for a retiree? I would like to start skating outside. I used to be a rink skater but the rink near me closed about 14 years ago. I have a pr of Bones 98 A and a new pr of Sure Grip Fame 95A, never used as stated rink closed after they were ordered. Could you suggest a wheel size that would be safe for an oldie but goodie? Thank you for your time.

[@JadedGenXer]

@@diamondpearlgem7589 id recomend not listening to Simone. She has no clue what she is talking about . Get yourself something in a hybrid wheel about 78a to about 84a's DF and about a 57 to 62mm diamiter ish ish is fine. Highly recomend a set of ricta clouds , very supple. Or some jinx hybrid wheels that are very sturdy and just blast over everything for pavement skating but not skatepark skating and the jinx hybrids are not super expensive either and ive had them for years and years. Soft wheels and or hybrid wheels feel muddy and flat doing transition park skating and are just unnessersery hard work. Thats where your wheels you already have will hold their own but it will feel a bit slippy at first. I ride bones 101a df and Powell green dragons 93a's on my park/ ramp/ bowl skates. Im in my 50s and have skated everything from rink to road since i was 4, starting back in the good old days with clunky strap on metal skates... lol and run both of the first 2 i mentiond on my bash about road skating set up and the jinx on my derby set up too You can go softer and bigger but they are slow to start but can get a bit hairy in speed once they pick up speed. The bigger the wheel the more speed per revolution regarless of hardness but your wheels would be to hard on anything thats not super smooth.. You will vibrate your filling out. Best of luck getting back on the wheels 👍 You wont miss a beat, just like riding a bike .

[@jellysams]

This was super helpful!! I’ve been eyeing the 57s, but now I’m wondering if I should go for the 62s! Aaaaahhhh decisions, decisions...

aw I love that, thanks for your comment on how that went- I was curious how people who've done that like them for kids skates :)

[@devinbates9232]

She didn’t like them at first bc with new GOOD bearings and great wheels she had to get used to actually moving. Lol she put them on about peeled out! 😆

[@skellingtonMCR]

I'm learning how to skate outside for the first time so it's nice to see someone compare these. I knew they came in different sizes but wasn't aware of exactly how that would affect performance beyond bigger wheels being able to go faster. I didn't even think about like grates or skating over bricks or anything so I'm really glad to see such an in-depth review.

[@nixonagustin_]

I've been watching rollerskate stuff and especially rollerskate wheels to help my girlfriend find the right outdoor wheels for her and this is a perfect watch! She's been looking for radar energy wheel review and hope she'll be happy riding her 1st skates with these wheels.

Fellow Chattanoogan learning how to skate, love your videos!!

[@KateFarkas]

This is definitely the most comprehensive and informative video about the different sizes of Radar Energy wheels on the KZbins! (I know because I was doing research a few weeks ago trying to decide which size to go with, and couldn't find much beyond people just putting on whatever size they'd gotten and saying they liked them.) So interesting to hear about what you find each size most useful for. I've heard the 62mm are the great "all-'rounder" for getting over debris and maintaining speed as well as agility for turns and tricks, so I might need to look into adding them to my collection soon. Thanks for your helpful and entertaining video!

[@karmaisaqueen]

Great video!!

[@florikaspi7885]

Awesome comparison! Thanks for the help. Skating is the best and seeing it all over word is great. hope all of you can keeo up skating these times.

[@kathoh6855]

I bought the smaller radar energy wheels, in pink and yellow just because, to replace the wheels that came with my lollys. They have been a game changer for me. I’m going to be spending the rest of my life learning to skate (I should never have taken that 30 year break) and the radar wheels have given me the boost I need to keep doing it. They are great for everything, truly versatile and if I ever get a chance to skate indoors I think they would just about be ok for that too. I love it when I see a review that confirms what I already know:)

[@simon_slays55]

Can you do a video comparing heeled/ flat boots? It’s time for me to upgrade my setup and I want to know the differences and pros and cons of each type of boot. You seem to be the most qualified as you have a variety of boots!

[@simon_slays55]

Thank you Sidney! I REALLY want to! I'd love to make a review on that, especially since I've skated all three boot types a lot and there is quite a difference between them. Thank you for trusting my experience and I'd be happy to share it with you and help out!

[@onebreath210]

I just started back on skates and started with a heeled boot and then made some vans skates and my first time on them I went down hard. Not having the heel to help put your weight forward makes you want to slip out backwards easily. Plus I had the wrong wheels on so when I hit a piece of debris, it threw me backwards and I went straight down

Would the 65 mm be too big for Moxi Lolly skates, which have a big heel as opposed to your flatter derby skates? I skated in derby skates for years & that heel on the Lolly makes me feel too high up, like I’m on stilettos so I’d love the 65 mm for all the reasons you stated, but wondering if one should go with the 62 if skate boot has a bigger heel.
