Good video! My take is I prefer FR3 to 1 & 2 which I've also skated in the past. I never adjust the cuffs, so I'm glad not to have moveable parts inside the cuff bolts like 1 & 2 have, but you can still swap out cuffs on the 3 if you like. I disliked that the metal buckles on 45 degree strap can rattle on the 1 & 2, so I'm glad to have the very solid plastic buckles instead. I prefer the full footbed cushion on the 3 as oppsosed to just the heel pad on 1 & 2. I don't care about the lower quality frames, wheels and bearings that come stock with the 3 as I use Flying Eagle Ultrasonic 125s on them. Metal plate, mounting holes, stock liners, laces, etc. are all the same on 1,2,3 and are all interchangeable.

[@freshasadaisy4782]

The use of the wheel cover: Once you've put them on, you can't roll anymore. This comes in place when you enter a store where wheeling is not allowed. This product is also available for purchase. The second use is actually for dirt, but it is not intended to protect the wheels but the environment from dirt clinging to the wheels, a bag or a car.

[@harrychoke]

Yeah - I use these to keep my bag clean. Keep the street outside. Same goes for shoes.

[@BuDu-ms2qe]

The huge mistake I did was going for the seba e3 80’s when in reality I should have just bought the FR1 80 right off the gate. I put them up for sale and if I get a bite I’ll upgrade. Great video!

[@skite69ers]

is the seba e3 80 bad? Im choosing between frx 80 and the seba e3 80 one.

[@BuDu-ms2qe]

@@skite69ers they are basically the same skates difference being the FRX has better wheels. If you're going for entry level get the FRXP 80 It's the new FRX edition with upgrades.

[@skite69ers]

@@BuDu-ms2qe that's awesome! gonna go get that, thank you so much!

Hi my European shoes size is 43 which size should i choose for a FR skate ? thanks.

[@jb837]

One of my favourite brands. I've got the FR1 110 they're a beast with twincam Titalium MW9 bearings top of the range...

[@mcz8309]

Do you recommend it for intermediate skaters? I've heard that it's unstable due to vary short frame.

[@jb837]

@@mcz8309 Bro, if You are a city skater o the area You skate is in bad conditions go a ahead and buy them, they're a super kool looking skates, fast and an excellent investment. Unstable mmmm for me they work amazing this is my opinion bro,any other question let me know. Just today I was skating on them. I've got flying eagle f6, poweslide zoom pro, FR F1 310, and a pair of poweslide phuzion 90mm.

[@MrDerekib]

You will understand the wheels cover when u have a white backpack 😂😂

[@marlonmj5]

I wanted the blue fr backpack, got the white one aaaaand….yeah well too late lol

[@geucamole]

The wheel cover is useful if you, for example, store your skates in your car's trunk and you don't want the trunk to get dirty, or stuff like that.

[@Thisissoul]

thanks, that makes sense

[@yanlobau560]

A huuuge thank you for this review! Tbh i didn’t get what UFR is for and how does it compare with the FR1. Also it would be just great to hear about SL/igor models.

[@JorgeGonzalez-yw9wf]

Super helpful video. Thanks a lot Ivo 👌

[@fisherchi]

Thanks for all the info. So much info for the FR brand. But they are great skates. I have the FR Spin and I love them.

[@jorgeduarte5233]

Thank you so much for all the useful information 🙏

[@Katerman007]

27:41 I guess the cover is for protecting your clothes or home from dirt of the wheels.

[@becneb]

Thanks for this informative video @Thisissoul, do you know if you can install the UFR soul plate without any drilling on a FR3/2/1 (I guess they have the same 7 hole mounting)?

[@Thisissoul]

They do not fit the FR3,2,1 at all unfortunately.

[@chrisplayz253]

So I bought some fr frx skates they are nice but when I went to take the wheels off to rocker the setup the last Allan bolt was so tight that I rounded the bolt head. Any chance you can make a video on how to solve this issue please 😢❤😅😊

[@Thisissoul]

Aaii Using good tools would have prevented that. Here is the video you want www.thisissoul.com/blogs/maintenance/how-to-remove-striped-bolts-on-inline-skates

[@tyren818]

you should do an actual proper review on fr ufr 90 intuition. You say it's your favorite skate, but it doesn't have metal plate at the bottom that you say is important for solid connection between frame and mount.

[@rblongfellow]

Subbed. Love the vibe ❤🤙

[@79Markko]

Great channel, great information. Do you have something about weight comparison for different free skates 4x80? Or at least Wich are lighter, FR, FLYING EAGLE, PS OR MICRO?

[@Katerman007]

Very nice video. I really miss the old Seba FR Soleplate and is it maby possible to use a other soule plate like Saway?

It should feel like a good strong handshake.

[@carrygun_]

Hey man, your knowledge is something spectacular so maybe you can help me. I bought FR FRX. I loved their look but unfortunately I felt big pain in the Velcro/45 degrees buckle area. I have high arches and average feet in terms of width. Do you think there is a way to make them fit?

[@diegobokserramirez6417]

Sounds like you need to get a heat gun and heat mold the area you are having a problem with. There are videos on KZbin which illustrate how to heat mold inline boots.

[@ManuelLopez-kt1ri]

I have the FR3’s and it took a while for my liner to fit to my foot. I also have arched feet. It took a few weeks of skating before my liners broke in to where I felt comfortable in them. So if you have the same issue as me then it’s just a break in period that you have to get through.

[@HeadNtheClouds]

Get powerslides MyFit FatBoy liners, it is instantly comfortable, and also get a comfortable orthotic that fits your foot the best, I like memory foam.

[@carrygun_]

@@HeadNtheClouds I am thinking about buying Powerslide Next if they fit better. They have MyFit Recall liner. Would you say it's better than liner in FRX?

[@jb837]

@@carrygun_ Bro don't waste money, you should bend your knees more. I've the same problem before. Keep using them until they adapt to your feet form, take some pain is not the end of the world, like Mr White told Jesy GROW SOME BALLS.

[@austinfisheroutdoors]

I need some guidance. You were saying that with these skates the heel is actually higher than the rest of the skate. You also mentioned Superfeet insoles. So does that mean these would use the Super Feet Carbon Pro Hockey insoles? I know those are designed for skates with higher heels and have a bend in them, but I've never been able to get a straight answer on if they're right for skates that aren't hockey related. Also, I'm looking at the FR1 and you mentioned that they have shock absorbers. Would they still use the Carbon Pro Hockey insole or would you use something else?

[@alansanchezlopez4018]

Hello! I love the channel, very good content! Could you recommend a skate with a wide liner on the toes and a flat boot? I use barefoot shoes and it is already impossible for me to keep my foot tight at the toes. It would be to do freeskate- aggressive Greetings! :)

[@jrbmwpower]

The best vídeo.🎉

[@giantkiller8]

So informative. Can i know if the seba fr1 80 boot is compatible with a 195 mounting system frame? Tqvm

[@skite69ers]

whats the difference between the seba frx 80 and the fr skates frx 80? we have both here on our country and the seba one is way cheaper. 117 dollars less. iirc they're the same.

[@Thisissoul]

They are the same skate.

[@iskindersam7834]

So if I flip the axle of the front & back wheels on a, "FR1 80" will the wheels be slightly be higher and be "rockers"?

[@Vladutze199]

Hello, could i fit an EU45 standard fr1 liner ( intended for a shell size 12) into a size 10 shell? Thanks

Which wheels do you suggest? Hydrogen Spectre or Street Invaders or Matter Image ? I currently have the hydrogen, but perhaps they are the same quality as Street Invaders? Does anyone have experience with the mentioned ones? 30:45 good wheels cost about 80€, 10€ per set ??? Or did he say 18€?

[@Thisissoul]

Good wheels are more then 10 euro a set. Now with inflation, it increased to even a bit more unfortunately

[@GOLDCOASTROLLOUT]

I always used to buy Seba skates for my slalom, now I have several paths of FR SL Freestyle skates and love them. Their branding is such a confusing mess; people who don't know the history get really confused about whether it's two distinct companies or the same company with different product lines or two different companies selling the same skates ha ha

Hello, I just got the FR UFR 90 Intuition. I have very thin calves so I need to cut plastic part. How much do I need to cut? Do I have to make sur it doesn't overlap, or do I need juste a little overlap? Also, is the UFS system like the FRX mounting? not as good as some with a metal plate? Thanks PS: it is really hard, I just got the gardening scissors from my dad toaday to be able to cut it ^^

[@jb837]

I did cut off a part of mine but I used an old knife I managed to cut it because it was hot really hot. Be careful of cutting to much.

Dont cut it off! If your legs are thin than overlapping is a good thing.

@@freshasadaisy4782 It is made for being cut so there must be a reason for this

[@freshasadaisy4782]

@@loicerp927 I have these skates for 10 years, there is no need to cut it off. Especially not for someone with thin legs. Use your brain.

[@forthecardio3286]

@@freshasadaisy4782 I agree with this. I have thinner legs too. I cut off a couple parts of the cuff flap at first and then realized that keeping it sort of acts as something that fills out the cuff area, similar to using the yellow(thicker) padding on an Intuition V2 liner. I got better results out of cutting down the excess buckle that goes past the receptor into the cuff.

I started with the frx 80s. They've been great. I'm just gliding around and practicing crossing over and stopping. I should have gotten the brake though

[@deltafour1212]

They fast?

[@Will-tm5bj]

@deltafour1212 I can get some pretty good speed going. The first time I took these to the rink they rode nice, but the wheels are soft for outdoor stuff. Unrelated to the skates, I sprained my ankle that night at the rink🤣 three months later, to the day, I was back in these skates. They're comfortable, and they saved me from breaking an ankle I'm 85% sure of that

[@deltafour1212]

@@Will-tm5bj 59 here. Pretty athletic. Getting back into skating after 30 plus year. I was debating to get 80 or 90. Want them just for fitness to skate 3 to 5 miles on the flats but love speed (when I get better at it) Only want to spend money one time. They say bigger the wheel faster the speed. I don't want to go crazy fast but fast enough to get that rush. Just wondering if there really is that much of a difference in speed wise between the 80 and 90

[@Will-tm5bj]

@deltafour1212 I can't answer that as I've never been on 90mm wheels. I can tell you, for me, I go plenty fast in this 80mm set up. All I'll say is wear protective gear. I sprained my ankle and it didn't break because the boot, but my wrists were fine after I went flying because I had on wrist guards. I wear a helmet when I'm outdoor skating
