thanks fam. this is the exact type of video these companies need to be putting out proprietary. incredibly helpful to hear key-differences between the models. just picked up the RB 110 3WD
I'm 64. In my 30s, I rolled about 20-30 miles a day, every day, on Rollerblade Lightning. (At least, that's what it says on the skates.) I haven't rolled in about 20 years now; I've been bicycling. But I don't think the bike is working me enough, even though I do 20-50 miles at a ride. I'd like to blade again. Skates seem to have come a long way. I took my old blades out of the closet, and saw that some of the sides had cracked, and a piece even came off. So I want to upgrade. I would like to blade (when I'm up to it, which could be sooner than one might think) up to 20-30 miles a day again. I tried on a pair of "Zetrablades" today, and they felt very unsteady. I'd be happy with something like my old LIghtnings, but I'm afraid to use them, if parts are falling off. So, what would be a good skate for me to get back into it? Thank you.
I would look for a hard shell skate. More support than the Zetrablade. Maybe a Rollerblade RB or Twister. If distance is your game maybe an E2. You can also look at Powerslide or FR skates as well.
Best fitting RB I've ever had, old "Aero 9" with "IFS" fastening, a proto-BOA. An absolute glove. Newer stuff, not even close. Severe pain beyond an hour use.
Oh, how I'd love to stroll through a skate booth like that. Such a rare thing. Thanks for taking us along. The E2 110mm can be upgraded to 125mm, though. I mounted them just last weekend and it worked out just fine. Only downside, if you need the heel brake: it doesn't fit any more.
Not sure if they sell the maximum edge 125 frame separately or if it will fit E2 but I think it will its a little smaller frame but if wanted a brake it maybe a way to go
Can you share your experience? I’m looking to pick one up. Are they comfortable to skate in for long hours (3-5 hrs). Are the smooth to ride in? Do you get any blisters?
Your channel keeps getting better and better! Thanks for putting all this stuff out there. Sad the season is coming to end but I'm gonna try to keep skating until it's too cold. I got back into skating this year with some Rollerblade Maxxum Edge 125's and just keep having a blast and have gotten into decent shape. Running or cycling just weren't for me.
So great we could see this. Thanks for the ride along. Those RB Twister 3x110 look great and I'm glad they kept the RB Cruiser boot. I don't think there's a more balanced skate for that price range.
After trying skates on one at a time through the mail, seeing that many skates in person would have blown my mind. Which race skate can accommodate a wide foot?
@@RM-en9gk Since this post 2 months ago I got some Bont jet double extra wide skates. My FR1s fit OK for me as well, I had to size up for the width, then pad up in the heel and toe box. Doable.
@@Flyzguy thanks for the fast reply, yes with intuition liner people tend to downsize one size, but I think if I'm not mistaken, size Eu 46 & 47 share the same shell no?
Unfortunately Rollerblade like many other companies are backed up at manufacturing because of Covid. I think they should have more inventory this summer. Fingers crossed.
Do you think they will bring back the 255mm 4x84mm in any of their hard boot skates? I just don’t like the longer frame & 90mm, not good for urban & I like 4 wheels, closer to the ground. I’m glad I was able to pick up some Seba frames before they quit making them. Rollerblade makes the best shell & buckles, but the frame size 😬
I think they have no clue. I had contacted them in November, and they said it depended on the model. When I told them which model I was interested in, they said they would be released in January. They still aren't. So I wouldn't trust any intel as I got mine directly from them and it was wrong. :p
Another thing he didn't mention is that the XT at least have a footbead resizer so they can accommodate both full and half size like 10/10.5 in 1 skate
it would be awesome if you can somehow plug and unplug the rollersblades easily from your shoes, so is not a unieque piece. That would make it much more comfortable to use as a transport in cities. So you can walk or plug the wheels and keep rolling. That would be a game changer regarding to transport
Did they change the maximum edge liners. Do they sell boots separately still looking for a boots to put the Maximum edge 3w frame and wheels on thanks for the video
@@ThirtyandRollin pretty sure all Rollerblade brand skates are complete skates no boot only unless it's an aggressive skate and even then 99% of em are still a complete skate
@@ThirtyandRollin ah that's good. I love the look of the twisters but I think they would be too narrow for me. How do you find the width on em compared to skates like the salomon (one of the few hardboots I can actually skate!)
IF you can find them in your size with all the covid supply problems. Been trying to find the RB cruiser in my size for normal retail all summer. Now summers over and so is blading season in my area. Maybe next year
@@Dcfinest79 there is here. In the fall no one cleans the streets and in the winter we get a lot of snow, Ice and salt. We pretty much just have spring and summer.
I am curious about release dates for inline skates in general. I got back into skating a couple months ago and many skates I'd be interested in are sold out. So I was wondering if there are common seasonal release times for new skates. Any idea when 2022 products from various companies will start becoming available (for pre-order at least)? Thanks! I really enjoy your channel's content!
Unfortunately no dates at this point. Like other industries inline skate manufacturers are closed from COVID and delaying product. I would guess spring for 2022 gear.
What do you think, will we see rockered frames from Rollerblade in the coming years? Also, I do really enjoy Rollerblade socks, nice to see them get the spotlight haha.
Really starting to hate macro blades I was duped into buying some when I was starting out before I knew twisters existed. They look good from far but far from good. No support, cheap plastics, cheap sneaker material, crappy frames, crappy lace up system, etc and they cost like $180 bucks which is the icing on the cake when IW sells Mint used twisters for the same price.

Hope you enjoy this quick look at the 2022 "Big Wheel" Collection from Rollerblade! The convention + marathon edits are coming soon!
Man that Twister is (red & black) says it all !!!!! I like that they put lace holes in the liners.
Me too!
Burnt red/orange not as good as real red
@@edmondcross190 Red would be nice!!!! Those black Hydrogens too!!! I hope they sell those by the pack.

The E2 looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes I want a pair for my next marathon so bad!
The street once looks awesome
Nice video! I love rollerblade brand!
Finally rollerblade make a better liner for twister!
Upgraded for sure. But I love my Twister liners one of the best stock liners on the market.
I just got the maxxim yesterday. Can't wait to take it out after work 😊
Thanks a lot for this video 👍
No problem! Thought it was worth while to get a quick run through of all the new product while I was there.
Nice stuff !
After trying skates on one at a time through the mail, seeing that many skates in person would have blown my mind. Which race skate can accommodate a wide foot?
None, no skating company considers wide footers at all. Gave up skating, no skates for wide feets.

1:01 says it all
What's the best lightest/softboot skate with a great shock absorber? What do you recommend?
I'm a fan of the Macroblades for an inexpensive softshell skate.
i love my twister edge ultimate skates. forget the rest, buy the best.
Love my Twisters as well!
What’s is better Twister or Maxxum?
Depends what you are using them for. Twister for more Urban riding like jumps and wizard moves but Maxxum for long distance cruises.
Seen the Edge XT weeks ago on amazon seems they are now delayed till sometime or after Dec 2021
Yep lot's of delays going on because factories are closed down. Same issue that a lot of industries are having right now with COVID.
Has anyone tried the maxxum XT with the 90 mm wheels? I am interested in those as my next skate.
Hi I leave in Flórida and I’d like buy twister edge 2022 . where I can find it? Please answer me!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Happy Holidays 🙏🏻🎄
Unfortunately Rollerblade like many other companies are backed up at manufacturing because of Covid. I think they should have more inventory this summer. Fingers crossed.
Is there an approximate release date on these 2022 skates? Especially the Twister Edge 3WD’s? It’s impossible to find them in a decent size right now
Saw a listing 2 weeks ago but they seem to be delayed till sometime Dec 2021 or just after
@@edmondcross190 Yep that sounds about right.
Do you think they will bring back the 255mm 4x84mm in any of their hard boot skates? I just don’t like the longer frame & 90mm, not good for urban & I like 4 wheels, closer to the ground. I’m glad I was able to pick up some Seba frames before they quit making them. Rollerblade makes the best shell & buckles, but the frame size 😬
The 4x80 might be 243mm like the Edge models
@@edmondcross190 Yes 4x80s are a 243.
I don't think so. That was a nice middle size for some.
Bumping the inquiry for 2022 release dates for new RBs? Any news? Would love to get my hands on some Twister or Maxxum 90s

Another thing he didn't mention is that the XT at least have a footbead resizer so they can accommodate both full and half size like 10/10.5 in 1 skate
Also i noticed he didnt say anything about the microblade being 3WD compatible I seen the axle hole in the middle when he picked the skate up
Yes good point! There were a few things missed.
I want those socks!
They are my favorite socks hands down!

Agreed if you had a supportive enough shoe.
Yeah I wonder if RB pondered releasing something like the doop skates.
Look into a pair of used Xsjado (Shadow) skates. That’s basically what they are.
Oh, I love 3-wheel racing. How much is the price? Inline skates are so pretty.
I have a advandage pro XT roller blades 😎👍
I'm going to try and get the Fluro yellow Maxuum 125 Tri-skate. That sexy beast has my name all over it. Time to get rid of my Covid lockdown fat.
Hi, I'm a size US 9.5 in shoes but my foot is wide. What size should I wear in the E2 pro please?
I would get your shoe size. E2s are a standard width.
The 2022 Rollerblade E2 125 looks the same as the 2021 model. Is there anything different from the previous year?
Not from what I could tell.
Did they change the maximum edge liners. Do they sell boots separately still looking for a boots to put the Maximum edge 3w frame and wheels on thanks for the video
Yes liner has changed a lot but no they don't sell parts.
@@ThirtyandRollin pretty sure all Rollerblade brand skates are complete skates no boot only unless it's an aggressive skate and even then 99% of em are still a complete skate
Couldn't see an RB cruiser or RB 80 on here. Will that skate be continued next year too?
I think so. Not all skates were here.
@@ThirtyandRollin ah that's good. I love the look of the twisters but I think they would be too narrow for me. How do you find the width on em compared to skates like the salomon (one of the few hardboots I can actually skate!)

Yes all Hydro's are nice!

Idk. Not likely.
Rollerblade don't really focus on slalom so I'd say not likely, Seba on the other hand does
Where is the Blank booth?
Haha this was at the NorthShore Inline Marathon event. Only have skates that would interest that demographic.
No RB 80 pro model?
Not all skates are here.

still no waxed laces on the twisters 🙄

Same thing. The men's is the all black with green highlights. I want them :)
@@ThirtyandRollin yup yup! Still great post!

Dude what's up with all these huge wheels? Give me an 80 all day long, these big wheels are so uncomfortable on the street.
Basically the same line up as every year with new color ways.... Gotcha
I really like the camo twisters they have a nice antifa vibe to them.....
