What is the fastest skate? - Test and review Street vs Fitness vs Speed skates

[@Matt_Matt96]

Skating without socks is mind boggling. Feet must be harder than steel.

[@mm6705]

If all these boots had the same urethane on all the wheels it would be a much better test. The original wheels that come in most fitness skate packages are really really slow compared to 10-15 dollar per wheel premiums for those smaller sizes.

[@thorupviktor]

The wheels make a massive difference! I previously did two tests on a speed boot with premium and with low budget wheels and found a huge difference. My goal with this test however, was to compare the entire skates to one another. Thus sticking with the setup they'd usually come with :) If you're interested in the wheel speed difference, that video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJnRd3qAq7B6l9k

[@tomeck7844]

@@thorupviktor Ok, so it was more like running on a factory setup if I get you correctly. But looking at your speed setup I was a bit confused that I saw the softest wheels there. Is Firm your chosen version of the wheel? Wouldn't you go for XFirm or even XXFirm instead?

[@johndoejr2567]

​@@thorupviktorWhat do you think are the fastest rollers at a price of approximately 300 euros?

[@RT-Experience]

Very interesting comparison, thank you 🙏🏼

[@stuart9768]

This was a great video and really interesting to see a professional make the comparison.

[@thorupviktor]

Thanks 😊

[@aeciaran]

incredible seen what you can do with theese skates. That makes the difference between an olympic skater and a 45 years old "new" semi speek skater. With 125 semispeed skate I need 160 heart rates to reach 22 Km/h... Great video.

[@FlashoftheBlades]

3x110 is the wheel size and configuration for my Macroblade skates (the same ones shown in my profile picture). When I first started using inline skating as a supplemental exercise to running for track in middle school, high school and college as well as cross country in high school and college, followed by semi-pro road running afterwards, the skates that I used were more akin to the Macroblade version shown here. They were the Evo 07 and the only complaint I had was that the wheels would wear out too fast. It wasn’t uncommon for me to go through two sets of wheels per season, made even more complicated after knee problems forced me to retire from running, as the only permanent solution was an expensive operation. It will be 10 years as of next year that I first got into big-wheel skating with a pair of Rollerblade Tempest 100s. These really helped improve both my speed and endurance, and, in hindsight, had me asking myself why I didn’t make the leap sooner. I used them for six years until the liner started to wear down and I couldn’t find a replacement in my foot size, leading to my current Rollerblade Macroblade 110 3WD skates that I bought in July 2022. They certainly are faster than the Tempests, and having a shorter frame means they fit more easily in my skate bag. Sure wish that I had easy access to one of those tracks like the one in this video, but they’re quite scarce in my neck of the woods. Most of the available land that could have one built on usually gets bought up for residential or commercial property development. I loathe that fact, but it’s the truth.

[@stevej.6674]

Wow, awesome comparison & exactly what i was looking for (fitness & speed skate comparison with same wheel size). I struggle with speed skates in urban setting & long for some extra support with really crappy footpaths & obstacles. I think Speed skates are for consistent surfaces (or very close to the same). So was looking for skates that i can still get my speed up but be able to deal with city obstacles too.

[@projektrenegade3877]

Bro u don't wear socks? Lol is it more comfortable? I used the macroblade 90's for the North shore marathon. I felt really stable sprinting down the hills.

[@Freddie206]

Very nice video Can u tell us more about New RB Boa

[@Halun23]

I would like to see comparison 4x110 wheels vs 3x125 on speed skates. I really curious why some skaters choose 110 against 125 for speed skating.

[@anul6801]

Longer frame gets more speed. Lower tires gets better balance.

[@Muncles]

Because 125 is not allowed in all competitions if im correct

[@1985Rudyhouse1985]

How do you recommend setting the 125, 12.8 frame on the n41 26cm boots? Do I put in the center? Do I go slightly forward or back?

[@Casual_BackPacking]

Can you do the twister skates please 🙏 if you haven't done so

[@danielames3937]

35 yr old male newby in average health. What roller skates would you recommend for someone who lives in a small country town with rough/bumpy chip and tar rodes? I prefer speed first, then comfort. When I say comfort, I mean less vibration. These skates will just be used to go up and down roads and sidewalks; no tricks or anything. Please give me a middle of the rode price for first recommendation and a budget recommendation. If it's the same model for both that's fine too. Thank you.

[@filgiupo4853]

For those type of roads get the biggest wheel size, either a 4x110 or 3x125

[@MiguelExhale]

@@filgiupo4853 are speed skates more comfortable than boot style?

[@filgiupo4853]

@@MiguelExhale no, you need much more force in your ankles to keep them upright with such big wheels… so the boot give you less mobility but keeps yourself much more stable and you have less chances of breaking an ankle

[@ACMulti100]

В любом случае, вам лучше сначала освоить комфортные так как беговые обладают более сильной отдачей и более требовательны к технике постановки ног. 🤔🤔🤔

why do you own a pair of macroblades? what do use them for? and the revv?

how would you go down a ledge in a tri skate vs a 4 wheel skate?

[@Iammoon28]

Can u give some tips about street? Because it not full extension and I want go fast but sometimes when I'm crossover it slipped

[@alenhorecky7884]

Perfect 😊👍

[@bjrneskesrensen2004]

Would be interesting to see the speed difference between 3x110 and 4x110. I noted when going from 4x80 to 3x110 only a few kmh differences, but the 110s are better on rough asfalt

[@anul6801]

For me bigger wheels is better because of the asfalt...

[@MiguelExhale]

Which shoe is more comfortable? Speed or fitness?

[@ACMulti100]

Фитнес однозначно. Скорость это прежде всего в угоду на максимально быстрый результат и максимально не в угоду комфорту, во всяком случае, на Rollerblade Powerblade GTM110 2014 так точно... 🤔🤔🤔

[@paulblichmann2791]

So if I upgraded skates I would go from 12 mph to 15 mph. maybe worth it. maybe not because speed skates I suspect don't climb hills any faster? Also how does the workout compare using 80mm wheels vs 125? you mentioned higher turnover possible increasing bloodflow, do you use a different balance of muscles?

[@Bumble-d1e]

Please try out the aeon's 80 subbed

The "Revv Boa" skate is not an ordinary skate, it has great wheels and ILQ-9 PRO bearing that make all the difference, that's why you were positively amazed. Do you believe that the longer you stay with a single skate, the better you perform in it over the course of months? Would it be possible to use "RevvBoa" in a marathon for example?

[@thorupviktor]

The Revv Boa is definitely a premium fitness skate. In terms of specs, it comes close to a full speed model. That said, I was surprised that it wouldn't cost more speed to be technically limited by the higher cuff :) I do believe that staying with the same skate is a good call (if it's a good skate), and that you'll still improve from small adaptations over the course of months. Revv Boa might even be the skate I would recommend to the most people that are looking to skate a marathon.

[@SaccoBelmonte]

Interesting that the speed difference between them is not much for the average skater. For you it means winning or losing. I go often on 4x80 and 3x110 and besides the fact you coast more with less effort with the 3x110 the top speed difference is not that noticeable. I recently learned the top speed for ice skaters is around 60kph which is nothing hehe.

[@ACMulti100]

Максимальная скорость на ровной поверхности или по склону?))) 😉😉😉

[@pinky_bruce]

You see Spongebob, its not the boots its the bootee. Er, the person wearing the boots.

[@patginni5229]

Stupid question but how do you stop in the speed skates and the fitness skates? When I used to skate a lot I would typically just drag my back foot sideways to stop. But I was using regular street skates and didn’t mind chewing up wheels. I’m willing to bet that the price of wheels and lack of ankle support would make a person less inclined to do that with higher end skates.

[@lexroet1215]

You can still do it the same way you did, haven't tried it myself but I do see people breaking that way at the club where I go to

[@ACMulti100]

Это остановка T - стопом? На беговых роликовых коньках даже если пренебречь ценой колёс, то там такая техника на мой взгляд, неэффективна. Сильно ногу так поперёк не прижмёшь, а нагрузка на суставы высокая. Там нужна слаломно - горнолыжная техника маневрирования по остановкам, либо торможение плугом в скольжении или переступанием в виде шагов.))) 😉😉😉

​@cdthorpe55 Your sweat does travel regardless if you wear socks (unless they are water proof) In general it is better to have as the skin on your foot can be more evenly rubbed away instead of barefoot.
