Rollerblade Twister XT Skate First Look | Big Wheel Inline Skating

[@codywalz8555]

Grabbed a pair of these a few months back after not skating for 15 years. Couldn't be happier.

[@jakobc1998]

I've heard one of the biggest changes they made is that they widened the shell so they aren't such a narrow fit - I'm super interested to see your post-ride review because I avoided the original twister edges for that reason!

[@dademurphy6855]

I’ve the same question. Rolling the RB Pro X at the moment and concerned these would be too narrow, whats your view?

[@joshb0508]

They told me that at Inline Warehosue as well. You are now advised to buy your normal shoe size.

[@Matthewdoesstuff]

They do feel quite a bit wider. Only a few mm all around but still better. It's not as wide as the RB pro. But it's more form fitting and the plastic over the forefoot is thinner and kinda shapes to the foot a bit better

[@kenmastersmaster]

It's not true, they only made the liners thinner and hence wider. The mold is exactly the same

[@SaccoBelmonte]

I had a lot of fun this Winter with my XTs and some ice blades.

[@AndrewG2.0]

Perfect timing! I just bought some twister xt boots and endless frames to get back into skating after a 15 year hiatus

[@ThirtyandRollin]

NIce! Enjoy them!

[@standardsal]

Glad to see they added lace holes to the upper liner. My only issue with the Twister Edge is that the cuff buckle is too low, creating too much forward flex with too little support. Being able to lace up the upper liner would help considerably. And it's probably not going to happen, but I would love to see Rollerblade give it the UFR AP treatment and make a semi-aggressive version, or at least some kind of soul plate add-on. Old habits die hard and I can't help but stall on ledges when I'm out for a freestyle skate. Great review, as always.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I really want a soul plate for the Twisters as well!

[@nanangpramudianto5379]

Nice review, cant wait for the full review. Still cant decide taking this skate or FR1.

[@timmorphine]

The liners in them are so good I'm using them in my PS skates and they fit there perfectly, solid work and design

[@ThirtyandRollin]

O ya love these liners!

im a new subscriber. I put this comment here hopping u will see it. you deserve millions of views, the quality of your videos is awsome, clean and smooth. thx for your content.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Thank you! Really appreciate your support and comment!

Stranger things intro 😂

[@FernandoGraeff]

The music in the beggining of the video looks like the Jenova Theme from Final Fantasy VII

[@rururu5630]

You are right!!! Hahaha. I was wondering where I had heard that music from!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Haha for sure

[@OriginalBadRobotz]

Got the cruisers on sale for $139 shipped. These will be my upgrade if I stick with it

[@philbrooks5979]

I wish they made this skate with a 4x90, not 80.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Me too.

[@rururu5630]

The foot sizers work well. I use them both for my Maxxum XT and Twister 110. I concur with you as far as black wheels. My stock white supreme wheels on my 4x 90 are holding up better than the stock black twister wheels for the 110. My 4x90 skates have a lot more miles.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

That's great to hear about the footbed sizers! As for the wheels, I have never had good luck with black wheels. I heard it's the pigment that reduces the structural properties of the PU.

[@kenmastersmaster]

The inside of the top strap release wasn't changed for the xt but in 2020 or 2021 edge. I prefer the original design

[@MrMokey24]

For me the number one hangup with a lot of these "premium" skates is how awkward and "buckley" they are to put on. I just want to slip into skates, do a couple of quick adjustments and skate, I don't want to deal with all these mechanisms. Often I just remove the 45 degree buckle for a velcro one or just tighten the laces more.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

If you get the correct shell size you don't need laces. The 45 and cuff strap is really quick to put on and take off.

[@jovicamilenovic2899]

11:07 The other side of the bearing is open, you dont have to mess with opening it

[@Martz604]

Great video and review! These are such quality skates but unfortunately for me I started getting pain on both feet near my navicular bones. I know you can take a heat gun to the shell but I am not feeling great about needing to do that. Still a great skate though.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Don't be afraid of the heat gun. I have done it to every Twister I have owned. They feel soooooo good now!

[@Martz604]

Thanks, I might give it a shot. I've been wanting to keep them as a solid 165mm boot option.

[@Snifffski]

@@ThirtyandRollinSame here. Very tempted to get the latest Twisters.

[@flyytaniac381]

Do you have an accessory navicular bone?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

@@flyytaniac381 Haha these are much improved over the edge versions. No need to heat mold that area anymore! No pain on that bone anymore.

[@Louie_Shredz]

These and the Plastic Pushers M12s have me ready to max out my credit cards 😅

[@ThirtyandRollin]

That's a great skate quiver!

[@Louie_Shredz]

@@ThirtyandRollin my inner turmoil is great, as will be my credit card bill 😩🤣

[@johnchiluiza2841]

I have a question can you put a different frame to hold 90 mm wheels. I dont like the 80 mm wheels. I like the boot.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yep you can put nearly any frame you want on this boot.

[@johnchiluiza2841]

Thanks for quick reply last question I'm a 9.5 how will that work when the boot size is 9, 9.5.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

@@johnchiluiza2841 Measure your foot in CM and look at the Rollerblade sizing chart for the Twister.

[@kimjohn3877]

I can't find size 10 on amazon

[@urbanskaters]

Can they fit the endless 80 and 90 frames

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Yep!

[@davidrades5701]

Sweet review dude. I enjoy watching them 🤟

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Thanks dude! Appreciate the support!

[@carlosroubert8646]

How does it compare to a Roces 1992 boot regarding fit? Is it wider? Is it longer? It’s the same?

[@cocodevru]

Hello! Can you, please, tell me what is the difference between Rollerblade Twister Xt W (2022) and Rollerblade Twister Edge W (2021) inline skates. Do they differ only in the year of manufacture or something else? I want to take for riding around the city. The Twister Xt W is $133 more expensive. I want to understand whether it is worth overpaying or the difference in them is not so big?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Watch my Twister XT Review video for the differences. It's really just fit so if the Edge fits fine then grab those and save money!

[@philbrooks5979]

Please review the Twister 3x110.

[@Spacefiddler]

is it possible convert those skates to anti rocker skates for griding?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Unfortunately no, not at this time. I wish there was a soul plate create for these boots!

[@bathedinshadow]

I found a pair of old stocked Twister Edge's on sale in my size. So I grabbed them. I haven't skate in 20 years probably, but I felt pretty comfortable on them after about 30 minutes. I overall like them, but I am having a huge problem with the liner. Along the sides of the tongue, you can feel/see a huge stiff seam. No matter how tight I tighten the skates, it is majorly chafing my leg. I have nice big scab from it. What am I doing wrong? Is there some way to soften this? I can't understand why they'd have the seam like this in the first place.

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Do you have tall socks? Also how many hours have you skated them? New skates need about 8-15hrs min to break in.

[@bathedinshadow]

@@ThirtyandRollin Hi! I wanted to skate in them a few more times before replying. I probably have about 9 hours into them. I'd go more, but I'm having to let the wound heal between each time. I do have tall socks, yes. Something that is kind of odd... whenever I put my right skate on, it kind of feels like my foot is being forced to lean in a tiny bit. But after 15 minutes or so, that feeling goes away. And this happens to be the side that I'm having the burning with. My left skate is all good.

[@DannyFPV04]

Why is hydrogen you favorite wheel? I keep researching wheels, but I dont understand why a 85a hydrogen is better then other 85a materials. Please help me!! 😊

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I enjoy the predictability and durability of the Hydrogens. Very consistent high quality wheel at a good price.

[@DannyFPV04]

@@ThirtyandRollin thank you for the response…so hydrogen should hold up longer because materials It’s made of?

[@ThirtyandRollin]

@@DannyFPV04 Material and manufacturing process.

[@DannyFPV04]

@@ThirtyandRollin Thank you! I think theyll be the next set of wheels I put on after my street kings wear out. I’ve been watching a lot of your content for the last few days lol. Great job! Your channel is super helpful…I’ve been on a pair of FR3s for the last 2 weeks. I love them!!! My last real “skate on in-line” was in the 90s… so thank you for helping to inform and bring this activity back to life with information on good products and techniques.

[@yoshigolfer1512]

Would thick heel insoles would help weight balancing for beginners?

[@andrymezencev4279]

every year the same....I wonder when they will release carbon

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Great question. It would be cool to have a carbon version. Although I like the flex pattern of these plastic shells.

[@danielreigdiaz1373]

They are in the works with the Rollerblade Crossfire, which ia gonna be a carbon boot for slalom. They were hyping this carbon boot a while back, but I have not heard much of that lately.
