WTF Is… Wizard Skating

[@billyarlew]

Tom Moyse this is canon! By spotlighting the niche and pulling together so many clips from influential skaters of this style, you've contributed immensely to the story and the history. I always appreciate how much you put into these videos and this is certain to be one I come back to time and time again.

[@TomMoyse]

Wow! Thank you Billy 🙏. Yea I put my laptop through some stress creating this one. It really does mean a lot when people enjoy them and think they are of value! Cheers for the kind words! 🤝

[@marcograndotto6615]

Good job Tom. I’m getting a lot of questions recently, mostly from non-aggressive skating people, on what this is about, the frames, the style… it’s hard to answer without going nerdy for me. In this video you successfully sum up everything one has to know to identify what wizard skating is. It’s cool to see you cover the story from the beginning and so on. A video like this was really needed, this “movement “ is growing fast, and it’s evolving even faster. It’s happening now. Thanks for giving people so much in a short time (and for the usual effort and humor you put into it). Thank you for this!

Can we agree it is still roller blading?

[@setsuhimatori8010]

For me personally, I see wizard skating as a union of the 3 major practices, slalom, slides and aggressive. Which what made me fell in love with the wizardry as I love all three genres. Even if it uses the most basic fundamentals of each practice, to be able to unify the 3 genres into one wizard flow feels so amazing.

[@vladarino]

Thanks! Fantastic and entertaining history of Wizard skating. I didn't know wtf wizard was before this video, but now I know all I need to know and I'm excited to get started. I'm going to buy some wizard frames and new skating boots. I'm lucky to live close to a ShopTask store. I've mainly been a roller skater lately, but am looking to get back to roller blading (tired of skating rinks). Wizard is a great fit for my rhythm / dance skating style. I'll help push the movement forward by skating in public and inspiring others. Let's gooo!

[@EddieRyce]

@@TomMoyse Kenny McLeish was a skateboarder who also took pictures and a lot of his stuff was in Skatermag. Skateboarders and rollerbladers had a great relationship in Dundee and still do I think. Kenny was taking pictures about skating culture in Scotland amongst highlighting the aggressive skate scene. That was one photo out a a bunch that was in skatermag. We had a tight crew back on those days circa 94/97. I think the next week Kenny floated the idea of painting me red as I used to always wear red trousers and we did a few photo sessions that were also in Skatermag. Kenny is now the CIO of Barclays but still takes pictures and has a half pipe in his back garden….. shame he is a skateboarder though. I stopped skating in around 1999 but have just bought myself a pair of roces 5th element yotos. So looking forward to getting back into it as a new skatepark has just opened near where I live in Ballymena

That was a good dive into the topic. I think what would have been important to mention are the other brands that copied the concept of Wizard frames into more affordable products. Even though they haven't invented it, they made the major contribution to the popularity of Wizard skating. Without them it would probably remain a niche style with very few people able to afford it.

I rollerbladed at skateparks way back and these moves look mostly like casual tricks we would attempt when we got bored or fell too many times trying jumps or grinds.

[@TomMoyse]

This is just a glimpse of what is being done on wizard skates. Back the in the day the skates would not provide the performance these skates do. Similar moves would have been possible but not with the same efficiency or effectiveness. Old school skates do not provide the same manoeuvrability, energy transfer or responsiveness.

[@Verithiell]

they are cheaper, if you know who to talk to, lol. Distribution is magic, just like logic. Just found out a dude here in my town offers them for way less than id have to pay stock, plus import fees. And he gets em directly from Leon, nothing dodgy going on.

This appears to be going backwards to the beginning when rollerblading started with people dancing in lumo with rollerblades. It appears they are reinventing the wheel, but now you can't grind or do any of the tricks that turned rollerblading into the sick sport that it used to be.

[@DatBoiAntix]

This is mainly for the older bladers as what Leon claimed it to be aimed for. Those over 40 may struggle to jump and grind at their age and wizard skating is made to stay blading, but also a new step to something different.

[@caribbeanbound8357]

The best - most efficient setup would be full wizard. You can use them on other boots but the combination of wizard frame and the wizard boot has been designed to give the best experience.

[@Therealbackslabbath]

This to me is like what modern Longboarding is to Street Skating. It all evolved from the same place, but branched off in different directions.

[@TomMoyse]

Wizard skating can inform and progress aggressive skating. Im not so sure that is applicable with longboarding to skateboarding? I don’t know enough about longboarding

[@Therealbackslabbath]

@@TomMoyse You may be right, but I have noticed that skateboarding has seen a resurgence of skaters who adopt a more flowy style, reminiscent of the earlier surf inspired skaters (Andy Anderson for example) of the 70s, and the Try Anything mindset of guys like Natas in the 80s - rather than rigid adherence to learning technical tricks and eschewing the more primitive form of skating for feeling. I think longboarding’s popularity has something to do with this. Not all street skaters feel this way mind you, just as not all aggressive skaters will be willing to accept this more “dare to air” inspired form of inline skating. Which is what this looks like to me, a return to the flow of the early rollers like Chris Edwards and Jess Dyrenforth.

I have been a hockey player since I was a child. I have roller hockey skates that I am very comfortable on and go to the skatepark with frequently. How different are freestyle skates to roller hockey skates? Besides the shape of the boot and the plastic housing, the wheel size seems similar.

[@TomMoyse]

I’m not massively knowledgeable on roller hockey skates but the frame will be a big point of difference. It’s rockered so (depending on the type of wizard frame) only certain wheels will touch the floor, depending on where you put your weight. The skate should also be more supportive. Over better Manoeuverability

@@ktextreme 😊Thank you, really appreciate that. I like to keep it natural to what I’m like. Obviously random pics flying up behind me isn’t natural ha but I think you’ll know what I mean 😁

QUESTION! I have small feet, 21cm... Size 4.5 in US women. And I'm only 4'11." Is 90 the best size because of what works with the set-up, or would smaller wheels on a smaller frame be the perfect equivalent to adjust to my size? They don't make wizzard skates in smaller than 90??

[@erikjeanes8359]

The "I got 5 on it" part LOL

Haha it had to be used!
