@@robertgiacomo2655 they are a great boot! I have seen a couple reports of stripped frames in comments on the 80s but have also talked to several folks who have not had any issues with the 80s

@@RISk8ers Dang can do them really smoothly; I’ve seen him on a few of your videos 😎 thanks man!

@@brettdobson3122 hey! If they are unscrewing from frame completely but not budging out, I would try to tap them out: come in through threaded side with a skinny metal object (like skate tool) then lightly hammer the axle out by hammering skinny metal object. If axle is not unscrewing then likely need more torque: find a ledge and step onto skate tool while inserted into axle (assuming a sturdy tool like Sonic tool): if you stand on the tool while rotating entire skate with hands while it is hanging off ledge then you will get more torque to spin/disengage axle. Hope you are able to get them unstuck soon!

@@tiagopellegrini9462 seems to be a universal thing in this sport with beginning sizing issues for us 😂 A video over which skate I think is best has been added to my list! Thanks for that suggestion! Currently I am loving my FR1s with Intuition liners (FR1 deluxe models). IMO FR1s have been the most solid and my favorites so far! I use them for trails, urban, rinks, and wizard skate sessions

@@RISk8ers thanks man! I skate this one almost every morning and have had on few videos 😎 The trail is about 4 miles total but the stretch here is the main spot I skate at end of my morning sessions since it is probably nicest part of trail to skate plus near home I need to get a video of entire trail again; I deleted the original video that I shot last year 😅 they have had some construction going on at east half of trail so haven’t been able to go entire trail length in a while

@@PokeProfWill Really nice trail near me that is only 4 miles long I hadn't done in a while as well. I tried doing it on thursday and at least 1 mile of it was blocked off so they could cut overgrown trees down along the path. Sucks when they close off sections.

@@bardcorebush hey! Thanks for watching; I have had no issues with the replacement frames; I ended up selling these boots actually because they were a size too large and I downsized my boots after 😅 I am thinking of getting another pair but have been really enjoying down sized FR1s (40 shell FR1 w/ Intuition is virtually perfect fit for my feet and Neo shells are little different sized than the FR1 shells) However I had no issues with them other than the frames; one person I know did not like the extra cuff flex (on the single density shell) and a few others with frame issues like mine. The decreased ride height and wider shell seem to be main pros for most folks I have talked to on the Neos. Hope this helps!

@PokeProfWill amazing, thanks dude!! Happy skating!

@@maxmotors9497 yeah aftermarket frames are where it’s at 😁 4 out of 5 of my set ups are using aftermarket frames (mostly Endless) and one set up using the R2 310 frames that usually comes stock on FR2 310s 😎

Except for Seba, every Seba boot I've bought had quality frames.

@ every frame I’ve had from FR has been quality with the exception of these NeoD 310s 😅 I have 5 different sets of FR frames (don’t have these NeoD anymore) and they are all lots of fun!

@@kay-zain hey! The FR Neo 1 frames (Neo C) are a little higher quality than the FR Neo 2 frames (Neo D). I haven’t heard of anyone having issues on the Neo C frames yet (although they have been out for less time than Neo 2s and more expensive). I have heard of others that had same issue as video with both the 110 and 80 versions of the Neo 2 D frames. Hopefully the Neo 1 frames do not have this issue! 🤞

@@fussellino1 thanks man!! I really need to get on my regular Arc frames more and get some Wizard moves down (or even just practice on the 4x90s) 🙂 I seem to have some mental block with the gazelles but I think that is where I would start for practicing Wizarding 🪄 I would really like to get those down!

@@gottenport7219 thanks!! I switched from the stock FR1 4D frames to Endless 80s after about a month on my FR1s: they are insanely fun compared to the flat 243mm frames IMO with the extra maneuverability. It took a couple of sessions for me to get used to a rockered set up but now I skate rockered frames always (unless in a tri-skate) because they allow me to flow better 🙂 I use my Endless 80s for mainly parking lots or courts, Endless 90s for the trails and urban, Arc CS for rinks, and Arc for wizard skating (which I have used the least out of the 4 😅) If your foot is large the Endless 90s might be a better option than the 80s but they are both super solid frames and I would feel comfortable using either for urban/freestyle (80s little more maneuverable and 90s little more stable for jumps)

@@RISk8ers I almost slipped a couple times but that one at 4 min was a particularly close one 😅 would have made for a nice short 😂 I listen to this band a lot when I skate 😎 they have some really neat songs and the beats/breaks are nice to pump self up for tricks lol Thanks for the comments man I really appreciate it!

@@RISk8ers in ice skating that is what they are called; I have heard “Superman” and “Butterfly Glide” as well for the move 😎 Everyone at the rink calls eagles/mohawks “The Crab” lmao 🦀

@@PokeProfWill LOL I rest my case on the different names for different places. Never heard them called the crab before... It does make sense though since that is the stance they do... I can see why they call it that.

@@RISk8ers I still haven’t tried 4x100 but I am really curious on how that would feel 👀 I am using those HeyZomm wheels and have been good grip outside and inside. They wear down little faster than Hydrogens but they’re super really cheap ⚖️

@PokeProfWill maybe I'll try a set of them and see how they work. I know indoors even cheap wheels are fine for me, it's more outdoors I wear them down fast if they are not good wheels. The 100mm setup I have is great but it's a little heavy compared to all my other setups.

@@CatzzSkatesFamily thanks bro! I really appreciate it 🩵 yeah it was backwards on one leg 😁 I trying to get that leg higher. Kind of like an exaggerated leg stretch after the lion move lol

@@SaccoBelmonte nice!! 4x90 seems to be a sweet spot for a lot of skaters I have talked to! I have been looking at those Rockin frames: they have some sick colors 😎 i am pretty curious what 5x76 would feel like with a size 40 foot. I feel like having all same wheel size would help with rotations/ wheel wear patterns for urban (or higher wheel wear) 5 wheel skate sessions over an asymmetric 84-76 set up like the Arc has

@@PokeProfWill I have 2xRockin 4x90 (Yellow and Black) and 5x80 (Purple) and they make a beautiful sound I can tell you. Especially the 5x80. I have a video in my channel.

@@CatzzSkatesFamily thanks man!! 🩵 the leg swings feels like yoga or something; really nice feeling getting in the stretch lol The Endless 90s are my overall favorite (on 4x90 mode) and have the most utility all around out of all frames I have tried so far; they are good for just about anything 😎 Excited to see your first impression video on those Endless 84s 👀

@@CatzzSkatesFamily thanks man!! Most people there are on quads since they rent quads there and not inlines, but there’s usually at least a few inliners. I don’t remember when I recorded this one exactly 😅 but I usually go in the afternoons on the weekends 😎 it was busy yesterday!

@@omerdelic7212 lmao 🤣 😁

@@chilltime3126 thanks for sharing your experience with the neos! Unfortunate that same happened to you, however, the Endless 90 is an amazing frame so that will definitely be an upgrade 😎 I have been riding Endless 90 for several months and is my go to for trail/urban runs

@@Cj3homie98 trying to spice up the powerslides 😎 my goal is to get a 540 out of one next. I think these are easier than regular fakie 360s, seem to be able to control spin easier out of the slide

@@Rafaelinux we get lots of wind here and is pretty dry but the dust in the air makes for nice evening sky colors 🤠

@@CatzzSkatesFamily lmao the books I had to lug around first couple semesters as student were heavy af as well (I still have most of them). After a couple semesters you realize how often you don’t use them 😅 At the college I work for, all our chemistry courses, besides the organic chemistry courses, have virtual textbooks 😎 really depends on the class: most of the biology classes there still use heavy physical copies. I love the opposite direction time at the rink because that is when I get to work on my weaker side (and also I spin clockwise so can do stuff around turn I normally can’t counterclockwise direction). Same at our rink, some people refuse. The rink in Arvada Colorado, I visited, apologized to everyone when they changed the direction 🤣 I think definitely a common thing for rink skaters to favor the natural direction due to strong vs weak sides. I am trying hard to do the Eagle/mohawk on my weak side past couple weeks but it is weird 🥲

@@InlineGuitarSkater thanks man! When I started backwards I did right foot behind as well; the other direction came naturally after skating backwards for about 2.5mi down a trail everyday for couple weeks (I think being tired on my normal side after a good distance forced me to switch to other side to keep going; that is how I recall getting used to opposite side 🙂).

@@CatzzSkatesFamily thanks man!! Yeah I just adjust the short music to where it is in sync with my skating 😁 The rink is the local skate rink here and is super cool!

@@jmafryj ah dang! Glad to hear the warranty was valid though and they are taking care of it. Thanks for sharing your experience with them! It is unfortunate that these particular skates are having this frame issue as the Neo dual shell is really nice; all my FR1s (and wife FR2 and FRX) skates have been amazing and have had no issues 😭

@@dinguskhan9969 nice! The skills transfer quite nice between inline and ice ❄️ luckily the rink in my city has a lot of inliners and doesnt feel as clique-y with the quads vs inliners 😅

@@davidariel1261 Hey thanks for watching and comment! I personally haven’t tried the Neo 1s and don’t know anyone personally that has yet. FR lists the frame as being a Neo C frame with the Neo 1s instead of Neo D frames like the Neo 2s have so hopefully the Neo C frames don’t have the stripping issue 🙂 Neo 1s have upgraded frames, bearings, wheels, Intuition liners, and have metal top buckle (compared to Neo 2s). If I hear of someone trying out the Neo 1s I’ll let you know!

Thank you for your information. One more question. In your opinion, if you had to choose a skate, which would you prefer, the F 1 Deluxe Intuition or the Neo Dual 1? Thank you very much.

@@davidariel1261 I think that I prefer the FR1 Intuitions mainly due to color choices and the fact that the FR1 shell fits my feet better since they are little less wide than the Neo shell. However the dual density shell of the Neo was really nice for trail/urban skates. Another thing is that the Neo will have a slightly lower ride height if that is important to you. Both shells are great IMO. I have the size charts for both models if want to let me know your foot length (and if wide or not) I could tell you which one may fit your foot better and info on the shells (for me FR1 has better shell sizing for my feet than the Neo shells)

@@PokeProfWill Well, the other day I measured my feet and the right one measures 28.5 cm and the left 29 cm. I live in Europe and my shoe size is 44.5 or 45. I also wanted to ask you, in your opinion, which skates have the best components, such as frames, wheels, liners, etc. between the Fr1 Deluxe Intuition and the Neo Dual 1. Thank you very much again for your help.

@@davidariel1261 nice I would recommend either size 44 Neo or size 43.5-44.5 FR1 deluxe for nice tight fit 😎 the hardware on the skate are basically the same: liners, bearings, wheels are great quality on both skates and basically the same. The frame on FR1 rides flat and the frame on Neo 1 is able to skate flat or rockered. Both are great skates 😁

@@Ash.skates24.7 I need to learn how to do those! There is a dude in my city that goes to the rink and can do them really well on inlines! I kept busting last time I tried them 😂 but has been a month or two since trying

@@PokeProfWill yeah make sure you find your balance before trying to put it out and lift it. And also I would recommend asking the person that’s good at it for advice on what to improve on

@@Ash.skates24.7 thanks for the tips 😎 I’m going to get it down eventually and work on it in near future!

@@PokeProfWill great! I wish you good luck and great content btw!

@@diebluesbender7281 i have a few pairs of FR1s and wife skates the FR2s; both of these have been extremely solid skates for us! The FR1 has a slightly better 45 degree strap than FR2 (new models) but the FR2 has a frame that allows you to rocker wheels if you want where FR1 does not. Both are solid though and would make really good first pairs. I recommend measuring your feet and going by the size charts for your first skates rather than go by shoe size to start 🙂

@@PokeProfWill Good to know! , and Neo 2 at the end of the options right? And thanks for your comments!!!

@@diebluesbender7281 I can’t recommend the Neo 2 because of how many issues I had (as well as others) with the frames they come with 😔 I think the Neo 2 dual density shell is a great boot (the Neo2 80 is single density) but the frames are an issue with them

@@PokeProfWill oh man that's sad, and your info is critical for my FR choice, (FR1) thank you for share your experience with us, Hope FR improve the frames, Give this man Tequila shot 🥃 haha, Greetings from Mexico Bro!!!

@@InlineGuitarSkater thanks man! The fakie 360 is my favorite trick to do right now 😎 really glad you joined the server! 🍻

@@jakishtra I doubt it as I believe the Neo1 may have different metal (not 100% sure on that) but they are called Neo C frames instead of Neo D like on the Neo2. Inercia skate shop lists them being available “approximate June-July 2024” so if that is true they may be released very soon 👀
