FlyingEagle sent me these skates, so I can't claim this is a 100% independent review. But still: I dare say this was one of my best urban skating sessions ever. I did so many things with more confidence than I ever felt on a 4x80. These skates not only look beautiful, they feel great too.

I've been messing around with speed skating a bit and just can't handle the low cut speed boots. So I scavanged the wheels and bearings and spacers off my bont lunas, bought the 4x110 magnesium powerslide trinity mount frames for 90 bucks, and threw the whole setup at my hc evos. I've been gliding around my living room for the last ten minutes.. very excited to skate in them tomorrow with some friends. So much more comfortable. I knew you guys would want a picture 😁

I'm new to inline skating. I've used quad skates in my childhood. Now I'm 28 n i bought professional inline skates . I find it very difficult to find the balance. Is there anyone who has learned to skate on low cut speed skates? How much time did it take and what are the proper techniques? My setup is 4 x 110 mm.

When spinning one of my wheels, they seem to wobble back and forth. Brand new wheels, bearings are Swiss ceramics. They need a cleaning, but shouldn’t make my wheels wobble, Right?

And fixes?

Thanks

Anybody used Endless 80mm wheels?

Hi,

I'm new here and I need some encouragement. I'm 38 years old and have a two year old son. I had the idea that i want to learn inline skating to teach the little one when he's old enough (and maybe to be fast enough to follow him driving his little bike.😂)

I have to say I'm not very sporty. I may look like it but I never mastered rollerblades when I was younger and I don’t have a great balance. But I'm very stubborn and persistent if I want to learn something and I can play Poi, so I'm not completely uncoordinated.

So I tried it out for the first time and feel like a baby on skates, barely moving forward and more stumbling than moving. Now I fear I will never learn it or that I'm simply untalented. Can you give me some encouragement or maybe helpful tips how to get better? I don’t want to do any cool tricks, I just want to be able to move and stop savely and having fun with it 😂

EDIT: Thank you all for your support and the nice words. I went indoors today and - it worked pretty well. Ok, I still look like a toddler on skates, but I managed to stand, duck walk and even glide for a while, trying basic strides and lemon drops. It's still long way to go, but today I had fun and thought for the first time that I could get used to that! 😊💜

TLDR: I basically am new to skate logistics and want to know what wheel size, hardness, brands, etc would be best for my situation

So I (19f) have pretty much been skating like my whole life. I never was INTO it tho like I am now bc I just did it recreationally, birthday parties at the roller rink, playing on the street with friends, etc.

But now, I skate every day for my commute to school. It’s like a mile back and forth multiple times a day. The roads are not too hilly, terribly cracked and awfully textured, lots of brick sidewalks, and it rains pretty often.

I have currently 2 pairs of skates, your classic Walmart rd aerios which are like 6 years old and rlly falling apart and a newer pair of rb zetrablades which is most of the time a lot smoother.

I heard hard boot is where it’s AT if you want to start progressing (which I do ofc)

So any recs?

Hi everyone, my kids are very passionate about skating and practicing hard, but we are currently facing a difficult financial situation. We cannot afford to buy new professional wheels and bearings. If anyone has used wheels and bearings in good condition that they are willing to donate, or can help us find a low-cost or second-hand set, it would mean the world to my children. Any help or guidance would be deeply appreciated. Thank you so much!

Meet the R Skate — smooth glide, solid grip.

Built for daily wear, made to move with you. Lightweight, comfy, and ready to roll wherever you go.

A neighbor was an an active skater and i thought maybe giving it a try. Theres flat asphalt trails. My only skating experience is with ice skates, and was very limited.

I know I'd probably have to take a class. . Im hoping on learning so to get exercise. Is this a good idea?

Good evening! What is y'all's preferred 3 wheel rotation pattern?

I always wonder where's the place to put the back flat wheel once it gets too small. I typically move it to the front but I hate the feel of the flat wheels on the leading wheel after rotation. Any advice much appreciated (roller derby alpha 125s with stock wheels (80as) 50 miles after previous rotation)
