As man your awsome thank you lol instead of pausing an googling you know thank you

[@jaynhsob3935]

Most of cost too much ..

[@whittyskater]

Nice collection. The amount of skates anyone should own is based on a simple formula: n + 1. N is the number of skates you already own...always room for one more!

[@ivans3806]

Yep, the good ole "amount of bicycles you own" formula, which can be applied to any hobby actually :)

[@Snifffski]

Yep, funny how that formula is universally applicable! 😉

[@isaac4283]

blind consumerism 😳

[@Mr.DanielMiyagi]

"but right now with my level of expertise, all I can do is TALK SHIT" 🤣🤣🤣 I subbed when u said this 8:32

[@iStackSlow]

7:30 is perfect "I'm holding onto these in hopes to learn aggressive". We've come full circle!

[@BLUEX2022]

Thanks bill for sharing your skates with us didn’t notice any hockey skates among the collection 👍🇬🇧

[@Tekuzumodoto]

This is such a good video, helped me so much. Really appreciate the time you put into it.

[@ReptileRaptureRR]

“We just don’t say it that way”lmao🤣🤣🤣

[@Ranjith_747]

I have been thinking for 6 months to buy a second pair of skates. A lot of information here. Now I am more confused. 🤔

[@LegoMotionandMore]

You have an amazing selection! Thanks for sharing!

[@Johro66]

Always love your commentary 😁 Also, jeez, that's a lot of skates. I thought I was bad with four pairs in less than two years. Five, if I count the cheap crappy recreational skates I started out in, and still have a soft spot for, simply becoz they gave me back that feeling. I had not skated since I was nine and on rollerskates. I just love to skate, there's nothing like it. (edit: three of those pairs are FR1's.. I know, I know... I got a 2015 version 4x80mm pair, a 2016 fr1 310, and a rockered fr1.. Simply becoz I don't like the bother of swapping frames.. In my defense, I bought all of them at times when they were on sale)

[@maciejjankowski1345]

Hi Bill, they all have some charm, but they talk to me the most gto spec. And when I would be limited by funds, Adapt gto s. With quatro frame 90mm weels 8x. A month ago, they were even 42 size in stock. Adapt is second in my hyperskate gto.

[@KennethKetchum]

Dude, I LOVE your attitude and internal swagger. I am relatively new to serious inline speed and marathon skating on asphalt bike trailways after cycling in too many 100+ mile per day bike tours (spinal stenosis) and love your review. Now after two years of using 80 mm wheels, with knees sore from years of heavy kickboxing, (kendo kickboxing on youtube), I have to decide whether to go to three wheels 110 mm or four wheels 100 vs 110 mm because I NEED A BRAKE on my skate. I have not mastered braking on my sore knees. Thanks for your reveiw. I GET your sense of humor also. You remind me of a number of black belts who scoffed at other masters.

[@Endurx23]

Bill ur amazing skater and making great videos, keep doing this great job on yt, its nice to watch u man.

[@dominicmcmahon4798]

Your like the chilled drill Sargent of inline skating. Thanks for the videos bro. 👍 Nice collection

[@Stu108]

Looking jacked Bill. Great video as always fella. And yeah, please skate some Aggressive! I think you'd rip around some park quite nicely.

[@jessa.3857]

I learned how to skate with aggressive skating. Best time of my life! I skated so much that I felt weird when I had to walk, lol. I need to help my knees and take care of my hallux ridgidus if I want to skate again. I miss skating so much!

[@SerialWheeler]

I admit I'd even go an a date on the Adapt GTO. Beautiful skates, Bill! Great video. I bet Dexter caught on to your act and started showing off his toys in the background :)

[@gadgettv2023]

Great presentation, sire.

[@gadgettv2023]

I really appreciated what you said about the infinite passion. It should really be about how the skate feels. You can wear whatever you want to make up for how crazy the skate looks. But yes. Very often the crazy skates feel the best.

[@SantiJxm]

I have 4 years and i only probe 4 skates. USD throne Classic, Razors G10le, Razors Yuri Botelho and my new skates USD AEON 72mm Richie Eisler. Sorry my English, im learning. Good channel ⛸

[@rcorser1]

Totally LOVE this video......since its been 3 years, will you please create another one? I'm sure you have the new GTBs to add. :-)

[@NoVanity1]

Bill, lets see a video of you trying aggressive inline! Also, there's some really good setups for skating flat on aggressive skates nowadays you should look into.

[@carkmagus6219]

Would love to see an updated skate collection video!

[@adamlanglois563]

I've never felt like air tires were the answer to off-road skating. Bill's a savage and even he can't have a good time on flat with the SUV skates.

[@briankehn9566]

Great commentary, man.

[@Goldy01]

Why do you have so many skates, you don't even have that many feet?!

[@Richardisonline]

That's so funny.... LOL

Boot scootin wheely boots. Love your videos just ordered me some skates from proskater. Keep it up.

[@ErikHosteter]

I couldnt agree with you more on the powerslides, i tried them on from a friend and barely made one block with them in the city with flat terrain. Thank god im not the only one

[@MrFroggy29]

Nice collection !!

[@bobcherrypie5436]

Hey Bill great vid as usual ! Did u heat mold your kronos reign ? I got the reign zeus and they feel a bit loose in the ankles... cheers

[@FernandoHernandez-ux2dc]

As a suggestion. Why don't you try the aggressive skate with flat? Maybe is better in order to not get stuck on stairs and steps. You can also try the antiroker option instead of the sliding plugs you have now. Great video. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@risingsun91]

Amazing collection

[@vanessamorais381]

I love the SUV one, pretty Cool!

[@atomic16572]

[@dvdv8197]

Wow you have every skate double! Crazy!

[@ThirtyandRollin]

Great overview! What are your thoughts on off road skates in a flat dirt bike course? Too much work to be worth it? I know you said inflatables only on downhill but just wondering your take. Been looking into some for a local dirt bike course near me.

[@raf.nogueira]

I seeing a lot of new videos about inline skating in last year, maybe this is a 'comeback' ? Just now finaly with 26years, when I just buy my first inline skates :)

[@That_One_Sunshine_Knight]

Hey, Bill. What would your opinion be on Zetra Blade? Been a long time since I last skated, and thought these would be great. Tried them out today and they got some good speed. Still need to work on my doing though. Hope to hear back.

[@Santos-ek8md]

Question Bill. Do you think that power stops are somewhat easier on a 3 WD skate like the one you mentioned at 10:10?

[@brantsacker2050]

Wow I'm jealous of your skate collection.

[@benromney9279]

Thanks for the video Bill. Great work, as always. I would like to know whether or not you heat mold your boots. I just got some new skates, and they are hurting my feet something awful. I'm nervous about baking them though, because I don't want to screw it up, and I don't want to make the problem worse.

[@akudumb3021]

None of them are for me, because i’m a figure ice skater transitioning to figure inline skates for off ice training. But this video was really interesting to watch, very informative!

[@JakeyDill]

I still love watching this

[@sethellis8507]

Man I want those hyper skate gto’s 😂

[@langston6506]

Bill which skate is good for x-training // catching nice speed on bike paths? Also, thoughts on the rollerblade brand? I enjoyed my first skate 90mm macros but wanna push myself a little bit more now

[@ivanbrown304]

8:28 thx for bieng honest ive been doing the samething iam so hyped to inline but i cant BECAUSE its snowing

[@dmok42195]

Is Seba Highlight Carbon in-line skate recommended for using for long distance such as 42km in Berlin Marathon? I am not going to go all out but want a comfortable ride so I can finish in 2 hours? Would that be difficult because I also have to run a full marathon the next day. I just want to inline skate the day before like a stroll in the park.

[@viciousviolet3783]

I’m currently looking at getting Rollerblade Twister Edge X Black/Grey but was wondering if they are also ok to be used for inline hockey

[@DrDiamondSt]

Hi every one! I need some advice! I have a pair of Rollerblade Maxxum 84, and lately I'm thinking I'd like to try triskates. Do you know whether I can fit a 3 wheeled frame on them?

[@qomosh]

Great video. I haven’t skated for a while now. Now that I’m working in a new city with no friends, I feel like getting a new pair of inline skates and start skating again. Sounds like fun to just skate around the park and maybe break some sweat too.

[@ericmueller1987]

"infinite Passion" As a skater we all feel that way, we just don't really------say it that way. Funny!

[@newcodiscgolf]

My favorite part😂

[@BlindGardener]

I want the Powerslide next 125. They seem so awesome

[@CipM8]

Bill, what size are the Reign Helios and, if you remember, what size were the Bauers you had? Thank you

[@Jay-gg6xg]

I played hockey through college. Skated in Central Park and all over New York City in the '90's. I now live in the suburbs and thinking of buying a new pair of inline skates for recreation. I would be skating on local suburban streets. I like the idea of removable frames so in theory I could switch from 3 wheels to 4 wheels without buying multiple skates. I would think a nicely ventilated skate would be good that is stiff enough for stability and quick stopping in emergency situations. Is switching between 3 and 4 wheel frames feasible? Any advice you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@joeschmo2693]

Nice collection. Looks not an issue for me: they all wind up being duct tape colored. Def going to get a pair of Reigns one day. My only question is the width - my feet are wide right behind my toes. Great video.

[@NEURALDELVER]

The Reigns are heat moldable! They're hockey skates, follow the same procedures you would with hockey skates and you should be able to shape them to fit your feet. I would say my feet are pretty wide, and even without heat-molding, my skates fit comfortably, and as I got em sweaty and broke them in, they got even more comfortable.

[@jenniferg4913]

how's the sizing on all these? do they fit your exact shoe size?

[@phadestonkaneki9861]

What should one do when discovering their style? And when you find your style, what should you keep in mind when buying new skates? Should you focus on the wheels and rack or do the boots itself also contribute to a skate style?

[@Antifabussy]

Where do you go to get the custom boots like ur igors? I don’t know where to find anywhere to get custom sebas, even though I keep seeing them and want to upgrade to a new custom pair:) but i can’t figure out where to get them! :) thanks so much for a rad video btw!

[@eldustino100]

Top vid again, love all of them. Here in Wales got myself a pair of Powerslide, ripped myself a new Ass in July skates got ahead of me for speed, before I knew it I was lying flat coccyx like a Japanese flag! I'm healthy again now, my advice, stay Looooowww 😉

[@AL-ri6bk]

Breaks on inline skates work? Can install? Thank you

[@postnatalmotcoach1006]

I have Solomon blades which are about 8 years and curious if it’s worth changing wheels for skating to work. What do you recommend

[@Jordan-qq7wt]

I've been watching your channel for many years and love the videos, I have a question about my wheels I use rollerblades maxxum 84 With the hydrogen 84mm 85a hardness Wheels I love them I've had them for about 5 years But I can't roll in even the slightest bit of wetness I know it's probably me but I just slide about like I'm on ice The wheels are meant to be good in most cases so any ideas I'm not a pro I'm barely an amateur lol But I can skate I can do the T stop just barely but not proficiently I still use the heel brake im cases I need to stop very fast 🙂 Thanks

[@viejoverdez]

i have been roller blading since i was 11, when i was 14 got my bravoblade , i was currently using them until today (i have 36 now the boot broke) so last me 22 years with wheels and bearing changes every 2 years, any advice to buy for me i would like something similiar , im not doing anything crazy anymore just skating to reduce my belly and have fun but all the models now looks weird to me like shoes , and hate show laces by the way thanks

[@tylersmokes8756]

one quick question? what type of skate should i get, i do a lot of dancing on roller blades. but don’t know witch ones to get that will last a while

[@Drunken_Hamster]

What would you rec for a 28.5-29cm foot that wants to freestyle slalom while still having enough wheelbase and stability to urban skate and maybe hit a bowl or two, while not being unwieldy at the roller rink? I'd ideally also like to be able to do wizard moves (hence "enough" stability), but I'm willing to throw that out in favor of the slalom moves. I'm fine with a convertible frame (IE 4x90 with slots for 3x110 short AND long (or just short) wheelbase) as long as there's a way to get rocker in both setups.

[@sofiaweiss3191]

Could you explain what makes a good boot better than a traditional intro blade from RollerBlade? Is it the materials, how it fits, comfort, maneuverability, ect...?

[@MeMyselfAndTouYube]

I've noticed that a majority of skates in the local stores are hockey based. Are there any pros/cons to buying a hockey style skate vs others? I'm planning on skating mainly on the road.

[@arianewell6252]

I can’t find the Kronos on inlinewearhouse or proskatersplace. I am just getting into inline skating and I’ve just moved to the city and really want to try urban skating. Because I have done research on PS and like their Trinity mount system I am choosing to go with their brand. I like the styling on the Reign Apollo. Do you think this is a skate that I could start out with and progress in?

[@obiigwe2904]

Anybody know where to get skates if you have bigger feet. Like size 14 and up but also reasonably priced?

[@joann773]

Hello! What is better for you, flying eagle falcon or power slide zoom 80?

[@prinznorbert4553]

I have 4 pairs of skates and all my friends think I'm weird. This guy really comforts me

[@woooshbait9696]

found a cheap bauer hockey inline at my local shop, what do you think about it? i want to use it for normal riding around the hood on a asphalt road and the park

[@jonbertocchi173]

I have a question.. so my toes get numb when I skate. Could it be because my laces are too tight? My foot fits snug and comfy into the boot but I dont know why my toes get numb

[@jc-xw4oj]

When I was young I used aggressive skates I tried some my feet hurt very bad lol I am way heavier I want to exercise should I change skates I want aggressive skates

[@officialheymanguys1]

Awesome skates you have there! All of them are blades. Where did you get them from?

[@RM-en9gk]

What long distance skate do you recommend for a wide foot skater? None of the top premium skates fit me :(.. I've tried evos and Tau 2020 and way too narrow even after heat molding. I want to get into marathon skating and speed skating but non fits me, I guess skating companies such as powerslides don't care about wide foot skaters... Im about to give up skating since there is nothing for me

[@RollerSkatingMumbai]

'Tiring on the Flat' 😂😂

[@kchappelle]

Bill, you didn't mention...and I'd really like to know. Do you mostly skate rockered or flat? I got into rockered recently and I love it. I have a pair of Bauer pro composite hockey skates from back in the 90's that are rockerable and I just switched them over and can't get over how fast I can turn now. Maybe not the best for fast street skating...especially if going downhill. I recently got a pair of Powerslide HC Evo pro skates that I absolutely love. They are a tri skate with a trinity frame and 3x 90 wheel. They are rockerable and I have them in the mild rocker where you only raise the front wheel or really lower the two rear wheels. Don't love the tri skates rockered as much as the 4 wheel set up. The 4 wheel set up is so like a real ice hockey skate and I love that. But the tri wheel skate in mild rocker is not bad, but not as quick turning as a 4 wheel and the aggressive rocker on a tri wheel is too tippy. Almost unskatable for me.

[@michaelroy3685]

Do you know if Sonic makes a tool compatible with Powerslide Trinity frames?

[@erickmmoja7684]

do you have any two wheel roller skates i'ld like to know how they are and see some

[@Exen88]

My only issue as new skater so far.. my ankle fucking hurts after wearing the skate. What skate type or technical aspect of the skate would work best to relieve this issue?

[@Yogahub_]

Love the all black skates

[@_iTangishaKa]

Hollo friend how could we find a good inline skates for speed and jumping?

[@Valhallaaaa]

Guys please... i have powerslide next 125 trinity frame... what do you think about placing 100 or 110mm wheels in it?

[@maxnottingham6374]

What do you think of rollerblade macroblade 90 for beginners?

[@RageForSeven]

Yeah, stair bashing on freestyle aggressive frame is, let's say, complicated!!! i am re-learning aggressive at 43, baby steps, KISS approach (keep it simple and stupid) frontside grind for weeks now, and then move onto soul grind. Good padding is needed for this cause crashes are a plenty. would like to see a video of you in the park though.
