You have a Rock Nylon plate, not plastic trucks. Plastic trucks are in no way safe. These are really nice skates though, bought a pair for a friend who wanted to learn.
Well, that’s not fair to tell us you like the skates, and then change the wheels and not tell us what the wheel was changed to🤷♀️ where do I get to upgrade wheel s
Hey I’m Ralph, would love to chat, I’m also a dj full time for 38 years and have been skating since 1977. Yrs I’m an old timer and with just getting back into skating after 12 years off. You should superb knowledgeable, and would love to catch up on the industry and what’s hot and new.
Thanks to your amazing review, I ordered the indoor boardwalk skates. My current skates are so heavy. Been skating many months and still having balance issues. Hoping the lighter skates help. 😀😁🙂
@@motivationstationcharged1855 my goodness! you were totally correct. I tried out my new sure grip skates today and it was like night and day! My beginner skates are so heavy. I too now believe they held me back. THANK YOU!!
Hi mr.m! I’ve been watching some of your videos and it’s inspired me to try out skating, so I started to try it out and I love it! By the way, Thanks for being the best teacher!
I am a total beginner skater. So far I’ve got a pair of cheap skates made in China. Difficult, with cheap light up wheels, and sold them locally for $30. I’ve also sent back a set of Impalas-so heavy! And sent back Moxi Panthers-tight and no give, and not real suede so won’t form to feet. The Sure Grip Boardwalks have turned out to be the best. I also got a pair of Sure Grip Fame, but one foot hurts in them-vinyl. Not in the Boardwalks; they broke in fine. Roll great and they break in best.
Another alternative if you prefer a smidge more padding and support in the boot is VNLA. Same price range and similar color options. Just sharing because I tried these on in black and I liked them but found them kinda bare in terms of padding support so I went with VNLA instead. (the luna indoor model or a la mode or parfait). JUST other options for folks in this price range. The sizing I found to be similar between VNLA and Sure grip. BOTH good skates!!!
Hi! You can get lighter metal plates but price range goes considerably higher. So, good-quality nylon plates is a very good option. I personally prefer alluminum, even though it's heavier 😅
Thanks for watching and supporting! 1. The Boardwalk skates are great for beginners at any age. 2. These skates are actually outdoor skates. Outdoor skates can definitely be worn indoors. The material is durable and stylish at the same time. This particular color is similar to the color of the skates that are often rented at skating rinks so you may want to purchase another color (I like the look myself).

I most definitely will add some videos of me skating in the future! Thank you for the support. If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe and click the bell for notifications!
Thank you for this review!! Just got these for my husband who currently has a pair of $99 Lenexa Shadow skates but they totally have no cushion or padding and made his feet super sore! Im convinced these Sure Grip Boardwalks will be perfect for him. ^_^
I am so glad to hear that! I had the same problem. Skating was very uncomfortable when I first started, but now things are much better. My skills increased instantly once I changed skates!
Great video! I just started skating around Feb 2022. My Moxi rainbow riders are so heavy but I heard that helps new skaters. I am so ready to upgrade. Fantastic video. New sub here. 🙂🙂
Thanks to everyone that has watched this video! Be sure to check out my channel for more skate content. Correction, the plates are nylon and not plastic!
I know this video is old but this is still one of the best pair of custom boardwalks I’ve seen so far🔥🔥
Been skating for 32 yrs now. I mainly use speed skates but I've been looking at these so thank you for this review.
You’re welcome,
Let me know how you like them if you decide to purchase.
Just got a pair this morning I’ll check in tonight Saturday nights in Brentwood Tennessee
Cool. I’m in Chicago for Independent Roll 2022. Let me know how you like them!
I grew up skating in Brentwood in the 90s! Broke my tail bone there. Love far away but will return one day...

he said the high performance wheel in the beginning, if I’m not mistaken. He may have put the red wheel back on for the on camera review
I used to be into roller blading when I was young. This channel makes me wanna jump back in
I appreciate it bro. The skate community is a vibe for sure! Thanks for the support.

I plan on buying some higher priced skates soon. Why heavier? That’s interesting
Thank you!
1.) Are these good for a 37 y/o beginner?
2.) Would you suggest using these skates BOTH indoor and outdoor?
3.) Awesome video 👍🏾💯
