Unboxing the new UFR Antony Pottier FR Skates in White and comparing them to the first UFR

In this video we have a deep dive into all things UFR. Let's see what is different between the new model and the previous but also what is different between the UFR and the FR1 for example.
Thank you so much to ‪@londonskatelife‬ & ‪@FRSkates‬ for sorting me with my new babies.

Buzzing to try them at the park🤩🤩🤩

[@rob.dark7]

Her little skates are adorable 😂! I ordered these with white oysi frames...Can't wait!

[@SJRollerblading]

They are so cute when they are so small. It looks better when the boot is small and the wheels are big compared to the otherway around hahaha

[@urippe]

New to skating and yes I've heard from people to start with beginner 4 wheels but my question is. Can I get the white ufr with 3 110 wheels and frame? Is that possible or would I have to go with something else like the fr1 and then get the frames and wheels

[@SJRollerblading]

It is possible. The UFR is a UFS skate so make sure when you are buyig a 3 wheeled frame that it is flat at the top (UFS)

[@tomaszwolniakowski2533]

Which liner is better and why? Do You think that new liner and metal bucket is worth 60£ extra? Greetings from Poland!

[@SJRollerblading]

£20 extra for the Black V2 (£219)and £40 extra for the White V2 (£239). The original UFR Intution was £199. I have no idea why the prices are different.. I guess the white colour was more expensive for them to make as it is a new colour for the skate. But for that metal buckle and updated liner, yes I'd happily spend £40. Thanks for watching! Hello from 🇬🇧

[@tomaszwolniakowski2533]

I was thinking about the first model on sale in PL. Thank You for the answer, I've ordered the new one in black

[@christopherthewholething]

Great video for a beautiful skate. What shock absorbers do you recommend?

[@SJRollerblading]

Thanks for watching! I personally use the gel ones from MyFit. powerslide.com/collections/myfit-shock-absorbers

[@John-cf4xm]

Why is the white one so hard to find in the right sizes? I see v2 black ones being marketed, but the white ones don't specifically have a title saying "v2". I assume the white one and the black v2 ones are the same, just different in color?

[@SJRollerblading]

It was a very popular skate with limited supply I’m sure. Hard to get a hold of. The white skate is only available as V2. V1 is black with plastic buckles. V2 has the metal buckles and intuition liners as default

[@claudiospuskas985]

May I ask guys if it is possible to use the UFR boot without the soul aggressive plate and attaching a endless 90mm frame? And in case what's the pros and the cons... Thanks!

[@SJRollerblading]

Hello Hello. A normal Endless 90 will never fit this skate as it is UFS with or without the soul plate but the Endless 90 UFS will fit this skate no problem: www.endlessblading.com/products/endless-90-ufs-frame

[@claudiospuskas985]

@@SJRollerblading Hello hello! Thanks for the message! I really appreciated it. May I ask you some advises? I would like to go for a pair of skates like FR1 90 or FR UFR 90 but I would like to change the frame and go with an endless 90mm frame. I was checking online and I wanted to opt for a little cheaper FR boot like this one in your video, but I have seen that it does't have the metal plate.. What do you think? What would do you suggest? I would like to go for a 90mm frame and for an FR skates. Sorry for so many questions and thanks again

[@SJRollerblading]

@@claudiospuskas985 It depends whether you would like to grind or not. If you are doing aggressive style skating or wizard skating then the UFR with Endless UFS 90mm would be a better option. If you are not planning on doing any grinds and would primarily be urban city skating then the FR1 with the Endless 165 90mm would be best.

[@TeeJayPlays]

Someone recommended me the UFR AP because i have wider feet. I'm not sure what to buy now as the last time i skated was 15 years ago, nothing too crazy but i remember being able to do simple grinds on rails. I know that razors V2 cults and roces m12 shell are wayyy too narrow. Roces fifth element are straight up ugly in my opinion. Do you have any advice for an old noob like me?

[@SJRollerblading]

That advice was correct. I have wide feet myself so the FR boots are perfect for people like us. You could also look at the USD Sway or the Razors SL. The FR would have been my favourite out of the 3 though.

[@aurorahyde3572]

🎉🎉🎉🎉 que lindos estos patines

[@Jordan.Skates]

Surprised you didn't compare the softer plastic on the whites to the black

[@SJRollerblading]

I'll test them out first. I have not had a white skate in years.. I'll be sure to mention this in my Review of the skate later down the line

[@Jordan.Skates]

@@SJRollerblading I’ve been rolling the whites for almost a month now and they are more flexy and the stiffness on the first version was a big hangup, so worth discussing if you feel the same

[@SJRollerblading]

I’ll definitely look out for that! Thanks for the heads up

[@falkomatzler271]

FR replaced the ratchet/buckle on their UFR by a velcro strap? Uhm... what good is that supposed to do?

[@Jordan.Skates]

@@falkomatzler271 ufr AP always had velcro strap. The ratchet comes on the FR big wheel setups (non aggressive)

[@matgxx]

Can i use my FR1 frame on this boot?

[@SJRollerblading]

No, the FR1 frame has a 165 mounting but the UFR skates are UFS mounting. 165 is higher at the rear on the top of the frame but UFS is flat on the top of the frame. I hope that explains the difference for you. Thanks for watching the video!

[@matgxx]

@@SJRollerblading thank you so much

[@thomasnguyen2015]

Do you think I could mount a soul plate on an FR1 skate ?

[@Jordan.Skates]

FR1 does not have a UFS mounts that you would need for the soul plates

[@SJRollerblading]

Unfortunately not without modification.

[@MrMokey24]

You definitely can! It's not a complete soulplate, you can find it if you google "Seba FR Aggressive Soulplate". It's not really the same as the UFR Soulplate, but you can grind on it. Mounting the UFR Soulplate is going to be a little bit more tricky, because the heel mounting is going to be at a different height, but theoretically, you could maybe get creative with filling this void between Soulplate and Boot and using a longer screw, but I haven't seen anyone do that yet.

[@SJRollerblading]

@@MrMokey24 Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I love Antony Pottier's video with them and his SEBA 84mm setup from years ago. That would do the trick if you can get a hold of them @ThomasNGuyen

[@thomasnguyen2015]

Awesome thanks for that guys !
