So you say I can use my very expensive speed skates bearings on my aggressive skate ? 🤑
Question. Is the M12 just some impala skates with an extra soulplate?
Love your video I agree with everything except the bearing thing. Watch tv tiolet paper them of away from the entrance. If there good add 3 drops of oil spin bearing in hand take exces off with toilet paper. If bearings are not that good use lots oil and spin while spinning let dirt come out with oil and oil again. Fuck citric cleaning etc to much work this 30min good 60 min bad.
You are very pedagogical and good at teaching the techniques, thank you!
Trail/Marathon vests are completely overlooked but absolutely awesome! They are very lightweight, have loads of pockets that you access without taking it off, and most importantly the weight is spread around your waist so you don't get off-balance while jumping
will 8mm also be good for most quad skates? there’s also a 10mm option, i’m not sure which to choose right now, but this video is so helpful!
this is why i always wear a hip pouch while skating.
I have to wear a backpack for my water, keys, wallet, self defense, and flip flops for going inside stores
The difference is one wheel!
Haha. Spot on
While Skating with heavy or large bag can cause balance issues, especially if you're doing tricks, it is generally fine for commuting. For those doing a lot of tricks, I would recommend the Osprey Daylite or similar bag. I can carry a water bladder and other essentials and the bag is so small and form fitting to the back I almost don't notice it there. It also has a waist strap which is great for jumps so the backpack doesn't bump around your back when you jump.
I think it very much depends. I would not ever recommend any beginner to skate with a backpack. The main problem is that a backpack impacts your balance in unpredictable ways and as a beginner that always ends in a fall. I would also not recommend to go vert skating with a backpack. But if you are an experienced skater, a backpack will still impact your balance, but you are much more capable of counteracting. I think to outright say "don't skate with a backpack" is not good. Maybe a video on how to safely skate with a backpack would be better. For example, most important when skating with a backpack aside from the obvious protection is to use one that can be tightly strapped on and choose one that sits comfortably and puts the centre of gravity on your lower back, to impact the balance less. Also, don't strap on anything to your backpack, and make sure that weight is evenly distributed. Strapping on skates or just a water bottle are a no go.
I LOVE the innovation in this video and in this channel. Being creative and resourceful is fantastic. All the applications here seem fine, except that for removing the logo/decal or the new-wheel shine, an angle grinder is overkill. For that, I recommend instead using sandpaper, whether on a sanding block, or using an orbital sander.
Thanks so much! There are other ways ofcourse to remove logo. Ill try sandpaper as well!
Well, while I understand your opinions Ivo and know it sure will be hotter on the back I will mention that I've iceskated like Elfsteden en elfmerentochten back in the day and on a quite serious speed with backpack and only found it a very minor disadvantage. While streetskating marathon plus plus distances I sometimes use a like lower type hippack on my back, small disadvantage but a gain in the drinks/food and nessesary materials you can take with you...
get a fannypack! I use the strap to carry all the protective gear, buckle the helmet, and carry the skates with a strap on the other shoulder, and go with sandals. Then I can put the strap and sandals inside the fannypack, along with my phone, a small hex key, a small towel, and a collapsible 10L backpack in case of need, I could even carry a bit of water
Yeah you right …you should not skate with a backpack but i like to skate various cities and places….what about my trainers,water,helmet,food? Impossible without a backpack…
1)trainers. Leave it at home of you can. I have shoes at work and at home so i never have to carry it. 2) helmet. Wear it! 3) water. there are fountains everywhere in Amsterdam. If your city does not have it then buy food on the way.
@@Thisissouloh God thanks but when i am travelling to London for example by bus 3 hours i should have a skate and helmet on yeah???i am there all day…i really like your channel but without backpack is working only elwhen you skate locally
there is no "backpack while skating police", so just do whatever you need to do. just make sure you stay safe and consider the weight and manoeuvrability issues, that might ensue @@radoslavstrhak6165
Hey hi! im just reading right now the archive. Im wondering, for me appears just the Mesmer Throne in the list. No roces for example. Do you guys still have the complete on? im very interseted in the Roces sizing. Thanks and keep on rolling!

Top notch content... saving for my first skates. Probably i will choose roller blade lightning or fr 2 .
Great choices!
Wearing a backpack with a hip strap will ease your back a lot and get the weight on your hips. The manouverability will improve a bit as well, still not ideal, but commuting to work does need some storage. Sweat is a big issue indeed... Most of the times I dont take a lot of weight, but the bag can be a big back protector as well, even save your head from butting into the ground when falling backwards.
9 times out of 10 I skate it is with a backpack on. I love it.
I always skate with a backpack, unless I'm at a skate park
Dude seriously?!
I skate with a small, form fitting Salomon 10ltr trail backpack, super lightweight and I just keep my shoes and some other stuff in there when skating. Never had a problem
😭 must be nice to live in berlin 😭 but i need my necessities 🥺
I disagree on this. It probably varies from person to person. I skate to buy groceries basically every day(10-15 km on weekdays, 15-35 km on weekends), and always with a backpack. Usually what I buy weights 1-5 kg. Up to 3kg it hardly makes any difference. At 5 kg it pulls backward very much, so you have to be careful. After leaving the store it takes 1-2 minutes to "calibrate" myself to the weight but after that it's OK.
Backpack is definitely hot, but for long sessions, I carry : water, tool, wallet, some snacks and sometime other things. Don't see better solution.
I use a bike belt bag. It's a little bag like a belt, it lay on your lower back. Inside I have 2 flexibles bottles for water, tool and wallet/phone. I use it to ski too ;)
trail vests! They are a game changer, especially if jump a bit
I feel attacked haha Just started watching
haha, same here ! I ALWAYS skate with a backpack, the main reason: to protect my spine. Also: carry food, water, phone, Allen key, footwear (sometimes), etc..I usually do 1.5-2hrs. sessions on the city (speed, slide, and jumps) so it's worth it..btw love your channel ! althougt too risky for my taste 🤣🤣
Sweaty backs ftw
We were clickbaited lol
How would you carry a helmet too with your bag
Wile skating its best to store your helemt on your head
You missed the point of my question you showed the different bags of how to pack your skates my question was how do you pack an helmet too if I’m taking a bus for example to go and skate I’m not going to wear it😊just asking how would you attach or carry it😊
Great deep dive into a very important aspect
i would have thought the 4 wheels have more surface area in contact with the ground when pushing and therefore faster acceleration maybe more rolling resistance though - if so worse for endurance and top speed
👍🏾🙏🏾 🏴🇸🇪🇹🇹
This is so amazing!!
@Thisissoul do you know if the extra foam is removable from the 43eu shell, if someone finds the skate too short? Or can it shrink over time?
The foam will shrink over time allot! So the room will grow
@@Thisissoul I appreciate your response. Now that I've read my comment again, I feel I wasn't specific enough. I meant, the Prime boot in 43, with the extra foam in the toebox area, what you've mentioned. Will it shrink too, what do you think? Thx in advance.
Are the velcrove straps interchangeable? I would like to know if I can put a crank strap on...
Yes its replaceble. You can put on any sbm2 ankle buckle on our website
Erik passed by 5 times! ✍️
For reference, it’s called a ‘runners knot’ and utilises the extra lace hole on running shoes, for superior heel lock down
What is the hardness of the 90mm skates, please? Thanks
Bro, you ordered Neatherlands weather for the opening day? 😂🎉 I really wanted to come but it doesnt look so nice out there… ill see maybe later but if not i wish you all the best, and ill come soon anyways! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! It stopped in the evening with raining luckily
Congratulations and lots of success!
Thank you so much!
Hello.. I have a question, I'm very short only 4'11..you think getting inline skates that has highboots could affect my strides? I have an oxelo 100 and i feel like they're too high for my short legs..
#1 hit close to home. I'm a product tester for Amazon and they have so many cheap skates most of which are adjustable but have an aluminum frame. I'm a quad skater and I know cheap skates are a bad idea but I absolutely used the free ones to get over the newbie hump. I noticed all your soft boot nonos the moment I put those suckers on 😂. My legs hurt for 2 days! I did recently test a few hard boots but again with the adjustable ever since then I've been looking for used blades I can tinker with and get to know for a while. This video was a plethora of information. I do not buy the 1euro bearings I invested in bones reds and I have learned what I like over time 😂😂 you weren't lying a bit.. the time, the effort, learning not to do too much or suffering from too little absolutely spot on info 😂😂 catch you next video ❤
Ah thank you so much for this comment!
Hi @lacyladi9951. I’m curious if you would share how do you become a product tester for Amazon and what exactly does that include? Thanks in advance
If only you guys had an American team 😢.. love your content ❤ though.
You mean american team riders? Maybe some day!
What roller skates would you recommend for someone who lives in a small country town with rough/bumpy chip and tar rodes? I prefer speed first, then comfort. When I say comfort, I mean less vibration. These skates will just be used to go up and down roads and sidewalks; no tricks or anything. Please give me a middle of the rode price for first recommendation and a budget recommendation. If it's the same model for both that's fine too. Thank you.
More wheels equalise the road more. For a smoothe ride 5x 76mm rockered is the best. For the best combination sweetspot 4x100 rockered is the best for most people. With a hardboot ofcourse. Look at our wizard style skates for what you need. www.thisissoul.com/collections/wizard-skating
So you sell wizard and the ripoff!!! I don’t respect you no more (shit, cheap,hungry, soulless business men) shame on you.
I have wide feet so my toes never fully touch the skates
0:55 ohh, here in Chile we say "Mejor prevenir que sanar" maybe there's that sentence in other languages
Yes we have the same saying here as well.
How would this boot be to make Wizard, but without the soulplate. Has anyone occupied it?
This is too flexible for big wheels most likely
If I am buying a powerslide next 110 and my shoe size is US 11-11.15 which one would fit best.
Take your shoe size is adviced for the ne t except if you have a high instep/arch. More info in our ps next revieuw
I teresting video👍
Thank you 👍
Hello Ivo! Long-time subscriber here. I grew up playing roller hockey and eventually transitioned into speed skating, competing in several events back in India. Now, I'm living in New York and have gotten back into inline skating. I can't express how much I love your videos and how passionate you are about the sport. Congratulations on the new shop! My next pair of skates will be from your Amsterdam store. Keep up the amazing content! God bless you. ❤
That is awesome! Thank you sati!
Mooie video. Bedankt!
