Absolutely! 👍

🙏 Gracias!

Exactly! 😀

Hello, I am from Scotland. Initially I found my Oxelo skates to be uncomfortable, but these are the steps I followed to fix this. I made an entire video about it! Oxelo MF500 and MF900 Ankle Pain FIXED! th-cam.com/video/iOsp6RaJ6dU/w-d-xo.html

@@cosmos7engineer Yes, they are very similar. My understanding is that the power stop is meant as a stop not a slide. Sliding will naturally occur but this should not be the goal, and skates don’t need to be parallel. The parallel slide is an actual slide, skates should be parallel and the goal is to actually slide. The entry to both is similar, though for parallel slides, I try to let my outside skate lead a little more.

@@RichHayterSkater I think youtube just didn't post another comment, I'll need to redo it some other time. :)

@@Wellpatins Thank you! 🙏 🙌

@@andym2097 It depends… for beginners, MF500 because 4x80 is easier to learn with. For commuters, those who care about skating for mileage, or who are already experienced with a 4x80 setup, the MF900 would be a good option. Personally, I have both and love both!

Yeah, he has mad skillz! 😁👌

Be patient, and try to commit to working on your stride every time you go out and skate, it’ll pay dividends. 👌

Thanks Matey! 🙏😁

Yeah! They work for me! 😁

It’s probably due to technique than leg power. It’s amazing how technical tweaks can improve your pace and help you maintain momentum. It’s all about working with your edges, and trying to get more confident on that outside edge, specifically. I made a short several months back, detailing 3 ways to improve your stride, might be worth checking out it out. 👍

Thank you, Amigo! 👊

Meet us in Glasgow on Sunday!

@@NAONED.4.4 Welcome to the world on wheels! You’re gonna love it! 👍

@@RichHayterSkater thank u

@@rcfong79 My thoughts exactly. The power slide acts as an extension of my power stop, If I feel unstable I can simple push out into the power slide for stability. As a stop, it’s less effective than the power stop, magic slide, or parallel, but it’s easier to learn, requires less skill, and offers a nice blend of stability & efficiency most skaters will be comfortable with. I’ve be focussing on the Magic for a while now, and it’s quickly becoming a firm favourite! I’ll share more on this in the future.

@RichHayterSkater That’s such great perspective. And the idea of using the power slide as a way to bail out of a impending power stop failure….that’s brilliant 🙂. But you’ve been skating for a while now and this video is a few years old. Just curious - what stop were you using before power slide, magic slide, and power stop?

@rcfong79 Power stop was what I used most, and still do, I only learned to magic slide a year or so ago, and only recently have I progressed it to point where I’m comfortable enough to start using it on the fly. It’s a great stop!

@@RichHayterSkater yeah I saw you on that magic slide tutorial with @SkatefreshAsha . Great stuff. Her suggestion to place the hands to the side as if they were on a table top and then rotate off of that allowed me to learn it quickly. We skaters are blessed to have all of you excellent instructors! I gain a lot from each of your perspectives.

Busy busy! Will be back soon! 👍

@@RichHayterSkater Okay, you're alive. Relief..:)

Hey thanks! 🙏 😁 I’m so glad you’ve nailed your Power slide! I was buzzed after I learning it, too! Keep practicing! Thanks for your comment! Tutorials take considerable time to produce, it’s always nice to hear they actually help!

@ I stayed up late at night just to try it, and I was so excited by the outcome, that I just kept practicing it for another nearly 2 hours. It was too much fun. All the credit to your good intentions of teaching the skills, technique, and what to look out for 😀. And your camera work makes it easy for us to follow. I know I’m going to learn a lot from you in this greatest sport of all. Thank you again from New Jersey, USA 🙂.

Thanks, Amigo! 👍😁

Depends on the application, but for urban skating, I’d opt for 90s.

Thanks a lot for the answer, I tried once the 90mm and it was amazing, but I thought that maybe the 110-125 could be awesome around the city, 80mm it's cool, but I think 90 could be better and just bit faster. I'm not an expert, but that's what I think, but I'll forget about the 110-125 and get the 90mm. Later I'll get some 110-125 for any other special occasion. Thanks a lot and kind regards.

😂

You gotta get really good with those parallel turns! Yeah, you need to be a bit lighter on the toe of the front skate - I probably explain these better in the Power Stop tutorial video I made, so check that out for more detail. 👍

@@RichHayterSkater Thanks for your reply

Bargain! Enjoy! 👍

No, you don’t need to, crossovers can take time to learn and use in practice. Learn the proper technique then work on speed. 👍

Thanks! This is an old video now, my Magics have moved on a ton! 👍

Hey thanks! 🙏 Enjoy your MF500s!

@@RichHayterSkater Cheers. Replaced the frame with a FR Spin rockered frame last week. Much fun, less speed though.

Those are the liners! 😁

And you would be correct -I always recommend the Oxelo MF500! And that helmet is also a very sensible purchase! I am glad you found it useful, and I hope she enjoys her new skates! 😃👍

Thanks, Dude! 🙌

Thanks Amigo! 🙌

Thanks Amigo! 👊

I just use regular sports socks, I find they work just fine with this liner. 👍

I need a new city to skate!

Me too! 👍

Awesome! Happy rolling, Amigo! 👊

Yeah, somewhere between a power stop and a parallel slide.

Hey, sorry, I’m not a figure skater, so all I can tell you is that this is a robust skate that has never failed me. Personally, I would have thought a skate with smaller wheels and lower centre of gravity might better mimic ice skating?

@@RichHayterSkater Thanks and I believe you are right. I just don't have budget for another skate with smaller wheels😅. I've been doing tons of one leg jumps on the 900 and no problems so far. It just takes getting used to from my smaller wheel skate that I've exchanged for the 900.
