Nice collection. The amount of skates anyone should own is based on a simple formula: n + 1. N is the number of skates you already own...always room for one more!

[@ivans3806]

Yep, the good ole "amount of bicycles you own" formula, which can be applied to any hobby actually :)

[@Johro66]

Always love your commentary 😁 Also, jeez, that's a lot of skates. I thought I was bad with four pairs in less than two years. Five, if I count the cheap crappy recreational skates I started out in, and still have a soft spot for, simply becoz they gave me back that feeling. I had not skated since I was nine and on rollerskates. I just love to skate, there's nothing like it. (edit: three of those pairs are FR1's.. I know, I know... I got a 2015 version 4x80mm pair, a 2016 fr1 310, and a rockered fr1.. Simply becoz I don't like the bother of swapping frames.. In my defense, I bought all of them at times when they were on sale)

[@maciejjankowski1345]

Hi Bill, they all have some charm, but they talk to me the most gto spec. And when I would be limited by funds, Adapt gto s. With quatro frame 90mm weels 8x. A month ago, they were even 42 size in stock. Adapt is second in my hyperskate gto.

Dude, I LOVE your attitude and internal swagger. I am relatively new to serious inline speed and marathon skating on asphalt bike trailways after cycling in too many 100+ mile per day bike tours (spinal stenosis) and love your review. Now after two years of using 80 mm wheels, with knees sore from years of heavy kickboxing, (kendo kickboxing on youtube), I have to decide whether to go to three wheels 110 mm or four wheels 100 vs 110 mm because I NEED A BRAKE on my skate. I have not mastered braking on my sore knees. Thanks for your reveiw. I GET your sense of humor also. You remind me of a number of black belts who scoffed at other masters.

[@joeschmo2693]

Nice collection. Looks not an issue for me: they all wind up being duct tape colored. Def going to get a pair of Reigns one day. My only question is the width - my feet are wide right behind my toes. Great video.

[@NEURALDELVER]

The Reigns are heat moldable! They're hockey skates, follow the same procedures you would with hockey skates and you should be able to shape them to fit your feet. I would say my feet are pretty wide, and even without heat-molding, my skates fit comfortably, and as I got em sweaty and broke them in, they got even more comfortable.

[@adamlanglois563]

I've never felt like air tires were the answer to off-road skating. Bill's a savage and even he can't have a good time on flat with the SUV skates.

I really appreciated what you said about the infinite passion. It should really be about how the skate feels. You can wear whatever you want to make up for how crazy the skate looks. But yes. Very often the crazy skates feel the best.

Thanks bill for sharing your skates with us didn’t notice any hockey skates among the collection 👍🇬🇧

[@carkmagus6219]

Would love to see an updated skate collection video!

[@FernandoHernandez-ux2dc]

As a suggestion. Why don't you try the aggressive skate with flat? Maybe is better in order to not get stuck on stairs and steps. You can also try the antiroker option instead of the sliding plugs you have now. Great video. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@kchappelle]

Bill, you didn't mention...and I'd really like to know. Do you mostly skate rockered or flat? I got into rockered recently and I love it. I have a pair of Bauer pro composite hockey skates from back in the 90's that are rockerable and I just switched them over and can't get over how fast I can turn now. Maybe not the best for fast street skating...especially if going downhill. I recently got a pair of Powerslide HC Evo pro skates that I absolutely love. They are a tri skate with a trinity frame and 3x 90 wheel. They are rockerable and I have them in the mild rocker where you only raise the front wheel or really lower the two rear wheels. Don't love the tri skates rockered as much as the 4 wheel set up. The 4 wheel set up is so like a real ice hockey skate and I love that. But the tri wheel skate in mild rocker is not bad, but not as quick turning as a 4 wheel and the aggressive rocker on a tri wheel is too tippy. Almost unskatable for me.

[@bobcherrypie5436]

Hey Bill great vid as usual ! Did u heat mold your kronos reign ? I got the reign zeus and they feel a bit loose in the ankles... cheers

I couldnt agree with you more on the powerslides, i tried them on from a friend and barely made one block with them in the city with flat terrain. Thank god im not the only one

[@Jay-gg6xg]

I played hockey through college. Skated in Central Park and all over New York City in the '90's. I now live in the suburbs and thinking of buying a new pair of inline skates for recreation. I would be skating on local suburban streets. I like the idea of removable frames so in theory I could switch from 3 wheels to 4 wheels without buying multiple skates. I would think a nicely ventilated skate would be good that is stiff enough for stability and quick stopping in emergency situations. Is switching between 3 and 4 wheel frames feasible? Any advice you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Andy, it's a nice skate...you'll like it. Let me know how you like them. Hope they fit well for you. Usually buy a skate one size smaller than your shoe size. You want them to fit snug.

Hey, Bill. What would your opinion be on Zetra Blade? Been a long time since I last skated, and thought these would be great. Tried them out today and they got some good speed. Still need to work on my doing though. Hope to hear back.

[@gadgettv2023]

Great presentation, sire.

[@Jonifico]

Wondering what your thoughts are in Rollerblade and K2. You didn't mention anything from them.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

What would you rec for a 28.5-29cm foot that wants to freestyle slalom while still having enough wheelbase and stability to urban skate and maybe hit a bowl or two, while not being unwieldy at the roller rink? I'd ideally also like to be able to do wizard moves (hence "enough" stability), but I'm willing to throw that out in favor of the slalom moves. I'm fine with a convertible frame (IE 4x90 with slots for 3x110 short AND long (or just short) wheelbase) as long as there's a way to get rocker in both setups.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Great overview! What are your thoughts on off road skates in a flat dirt bike course? Too much work to be worth it? I know you said inflatables only on downhill but just wondering your take. Been looking into some for a local dirt bike course near me.

Is Seba Highlight Carbon in-line skate recommended for using for long distance such as 42km in Berlin Marathon? I am not going to go all out but want a comfortable ride so I can finish in 2 hours?

Yeah, stair bashing on freestyle aggressive frame is, let's say, complicated!!! i am re-learning aggressive at 43, baby steps, KISS approach (keep it simple and stupid) frontside grind for weeks now, and then move onto soul grind. Good padding is needed for this cause crashes are a plenty. would like to see a video of you in the park though.

What should one do when discovering their style? And when you find your style, what should you keep in mind when buying new skates? Should you focus on the wheels and rack or do the boots itself also contribute to a skate style?

Can you please convert the Reigns to 4 wheels, with maybe some Gyro wheels and let us know what you think. I would love it if you compared the Reign and the GTO if both have 4 wheel set ups. Both skates are on my bucket list. I miss seeing you in the Reigns.

I purchased the Reign Apollo. Skated 2.5 hrs on them last night at my local rink. Great skate, excellent fit, little or no break in needed. Lightest skate I own and have ever picked up. I thought the CCM RBZ were light, I think the Apollo is lighter. Got the 4x80MM frame with Gyro F2R wheels. Beside the light weight, The high lace cuff and the fit it provides were very impressive. My other skates are traditional hockey style boots.

[@colore76]

Hi Bill! first of all very good channel! then, I saw you didn't skate with so many Powerslide skates (the hockey model aside), so I'd like to know if there is a specific reason for that. On my standpoint I like the trinity mount system so I started with the Kaze model which I found not so comfortable for long runs... maybe because of my ankle and/or my wide feet. dunno. I was thinking to give a try to the HC Evo (only boot) in order to reuse my Kaze's frame which is fine to me (4x80mm). I'm not a fan of slalom while the HC Evo is mostly for slalom... but it seems you can comfortably use it for urban skate... Besides, I'm really tempted to get the Adapt GTO Speciale in the next future but as you said, it would be better to have a "back up" skate to be used without crying at each scratch. So here my questions: - what do you think about Powerslide HC EVO pro (trinity mount)? - does adapt fit good to people with (a bit) wider foot? thanks in advance for an answer.

[@alexakosk]

Hey.Did you buy it?Or did you find the answers to your questions?I'm considering buying them.

[@colore76]

@@alexakosk at the end I bought the PS HC Evo and I'm really satisfied with them. Actually I have 3 different frames, one of those with dual setting... the trinity mount rocks. I didn't received a specific answer on my questions above but I was able to get feedback and info here and there even though, at the end, the best way to understand is to buy and "invest" (money :)) on getting your personal experience and feeling which is unique and not questionable. About the Adapt, I can only share my feeling with you, since I didn't buy them: I think they are way too expensive (and not justified) and honestly they are not really worth. I mean, they probably are good but with the same money I can buy at least TWO different brand new HIGHEST boot models from other brands. What I liked most (from Adapt) was the "Ice skate style" where there's no cuff on them. But I'm starting seeing other brands adopting the same concept (e.g. the PS Pheme Ocean... for women, where the cuff seems kinda... integrated). The most important thing though, is to get a pair of boots that are comfortable for your feet, and I'm pretty sure you can have one without spending 1k bucks for a "tailor made" one. BTW the PS HC Evo has a little wider footprint than other PS models, which is what I needed to get the right comfort. ENJOY ROLLERSKATING & HAVE FUN!!! :)
