Understanding Frame Alignment for Inline Skaters

#framealignment #framehelp #rollerbladewellness
A concept not talked about enough on skate channels...here is some skate education about the importance of frame alignment and adjustment! Having your frame properly adjusted to your foot can help with your efficiency of power and help decrease future trips to the doctors about pain in your foot, ankle, back etc. Everyone’s feet and body are different, which is why it is always good to adjust your frames to match. Wellness check! Other resources down below which I think is helpful too! Feel free to add why you find in the comments below! This is a community after all!

Thank you for this video! Very well done and great information that for some reason people don't talk about.

A tip for you: If the soles of your shoes/sneakers wear out at the lateral (ie outer) side, move the rear of frame likewise: to the lateral. If the wear is at the medial (inner) side, move your frames to the medial (ie towards the centre). And as for the front, align the front-most wheel between your big toe and the second toe. Another tip is keep your heels snugly well fitted in the shoe. Do not allow any free side movements of the heel inside the shoe. If you feel any movement, add firm padding (between the shell and liner) to immobilise the heel.

Thank you! Luckily I've moved to a seba skate which doesn't need as much alignment.

Ahhhh yes...right on time. My first pair of skates were inexpensive and had non-adjustable frames. I noticed right away that I was supinating A LOT on my left skate. I had to be very active with my lower leg and tried to get my skate as tight as possible but it just wasn’t right. I learned with quads that I need to spend time adjusting my skates properly and I see it’s the same with inline skates! I have a couple of pairs on the way-Flying Eagle F6S and Powerslide Imperial One 80. I’ll be following your recommendations! Thank you so much!

Subscribe! Another Skate Ed video! And I made an mini intro! A concept not talked about enough on skate channels...here is some skate education about the importance of frame alignment and adjustment! Resources in the description! Feel free to add any insight you have about frame alignment!

So, Frame alignment isn't entirely synonymous with the actual size of the skate? I don't remember which variation the borrowed pair I used a year and nine monthes ago had, but I do remember being told to "wear a size down" than my normal sneaker size. Given that I've personally never owned my own pair somehow, I'm not completely sure how much peripheral equipment I would need to make that sort of alteration.

Thank you for the video and the article links ! Hope by now u purchased right angle allan keys for easier screw removals.

your video was very informative. thank you much

Needed this. Tfs 👌

I have a lot of blisters on the inside of my foot. I started thinking that it was because of the form of the stake, until I managed to buy a fr1 seba. It's much more comfortable than any other, but even so, after 2 or 3 hours I start to feel pain in the inside of my foot. I'm testing different alignments for the frame. Hope it works

[@chodkowski01]

Explained my problem perfectly.

[@AidonnaMusic]

Thank you for sharing your video! Just got my Flying Eagles, but couldnt loose the wheel screws on the left frame to be able to adjust the alignment laterally. But I will try that trick that you showed at the end of the video)) hope it will work, or I would need to exchange them. Wondering, what size is your skates? And what shoe size you normally wear? I got 6.5 eu 39 and my shoe size is 7-7.5 Im so excited to start skating again after 10+ years of break. I used to love freestyle skating and slalom! Thats why I got these FE, because you can rocker them!

[@pepperspikes1849]

i’m still trying to work out whether my balance issues are due to technique issues or frame alignment issues. i’m fairly new to inline skating but have been quad skating for around 6 months. i think after a few more test runs, if i still feel off balance, it might be time to consider adjusting my frames. thanks for this video and the links :)

[@robertc7896]

You adjust the frames if your feet are bending in or out. So if you feet easily remain straight then don't blame frame adjustment for any skating difficulties.

[@pepperspikes1849]

@@robertc7896 it was hard for me to tell back then but it’s been 7 months now and i’ve adjusted one of my skates’ frames and everything is working out now. thanks for the answer though!

Thanks you explained a lot

[@DanolsPlaysGuitar]

Hello! Really helpful! My right knee goes inward when skating so I can’t have it under my toes. Was that what happened to you and made you stop skating? Thanks & have a nice day! :)

[@DxMT]

Probably would have been better to use a T handle hex bit lol

[@echoskates]

I didn't have one at the time..The other bolt..It was really on there! I had to melt the lock tight to get it off. It was a real bugger.

[@mscaliforniagirl135]

Is there a downside to aligning one of the frames? Something like muscle imbalance? I notice pronation on my right leg when skating

[@tempest411]

I wish any of the introductory inline skate vids I watched said ANYTHING about having a lateral adjustment feature as important. Now I've got a pair of $170.00 skates I can barely use because my left foot cants outward, and these have no provision for adjustment. It's as if that side just isn't balancing over the wheel properly. The right side does it to, but just a little. Why do the manufacturers assume this would be anything less than a necessity?

[@robertc7896]

I have new Flying Eagle F6S skates and I can't seem to get the wheels off to adjust the frame. I'm using the tool that came with the skates. Turning it counter-clockwise. How hard can I turn it without breaking it. What to do?

[@robertc7262]
