Good video! My take is I prefer FR3 to 1 & 2 which I've also skated in the past. I never adjust the cuffs, so I'm glad not to have moveable parts inside the cuff bolts like 1 & 2 have, but you can still swap out cuffs on the 3 if you like. I disliked that the metal buckles on 45 degree strap can rattle on the 1 & 2, so I'm glad to have the very solid plastic buckles instead. I prefer the full footbed cushion on the 3 as oppsosed to just the heel pad on 1 & 2. I don't care about the lower quality frames, wheels and bearings that come stock with the 3 as I use Flying Eagle Ultrasonic 125s on them. Metal plate, mounting holes, stock liners, laces, etc. are all the same on 1,2,3 and are all interchangeable.
The use of the wheel cover: Once you've put them on, you can't roll anymore. This comes in place when you enter a store where wheeling is not allowed. This product is also available for purchase. The second use is actually for dirt, but it is not intended to protect the wheels but the environment from dirt clinging to the wheels, a bag or a car.
The huge mistake I did was going for the seba e3 80’s when in reality I should have just bought the FR1 80 right off the gate. I put them up for sale and if I get a bite I’ll upgrade. Great video!
@@skite69ers they are basically the same skates difference being the FRX has better wheels. If you're going for entry level get the FRXP 80 It's the new FRX edition with upgrades.
A huuuge thank you for this review! Tbh i didn’t get what UFR is for and how does it compare with the FR1. Also it would be just great to hear about SL/igor models.
@@mcz8309 Bro, if You are a city skater o the area You skate is in bad conditions go a ahead and buy them, they're a super kool looking skates, fast and an excellent investment.

I've got flying eagle f6, poweslide zoom pro, FR F1 310, and a pair of poweslide phuzion 90mm.
Thanks for this informative video @Thisissoul, do you know if you can install the UFR soul plate without any drilling on a FR3/2/1 (I guess they have the same 7 hole mounting)?
you should do an actual proper review on fr ufr 90 intuition. You say it's your favorite skate, but it doesn't have metal plate at the bottom that you say is important for solid connection between frame and mount.
Great channel, great information. Do you have something about weight comparison for different free skates 4x80? Or at least Wich are lighter, FR, FLYING EAGLE, PS OR MICRO?
I need some guidance. You were saying that with these skates the heel is actually higher than the rest of the skate. You also mentioned Superfeet insoles. So does that mean these would use the Super Feet Carbon Pro Hockey insoles? I know those are designed for skates with higher heels and have a bend in them, but I've never been able to get a straight answer on if they're right for skates that aren't hockey related. Also, I'm looking at the FR1 and you mentioned that they have shock absorbers. Would they still use the Carbon Pro Hockey insole or would you use something else?
Hello! I love the channel, very good content! Could you recommend a skate with a wide liner on the toes and a flat boot? I use barefoot shoes and it is already impossible for me to keep my foot tight at the toes. It would be to do freeskate- aggressive Greetings! :)
Hey man, your knowledge is something spectacular so maybe you can help me. I bought FR FRX. I loved their look but unfortunately I felt big pain in the Velcro/45 degrees buckle area. I have high arches and average feet in terms of width. Do you think there is a way to make them fit?
Sounds like you need to get a heat gun and heat mold the area you are having a problem with. There are videos on TH-cam which illustrate how to heat mold inline boots.
I have the FR3’s and it took a while for my liner to fit to my foot. I also have arched feet. It took a few weeks of skating before my liners broke in to where I felt comfortable in them. So if you have the same issue as me then it’s just a break in period that you have to get through.
Get powerslides MyFit FatBoy liners, it is instantly comfortable, and also get a comfortable orthotic that fits your foot the best, I like memory foam.
@@HeadNtheClouds I am thinking about buying Powerslide Next if they fit better. They have MyFit Recall liner. Would you say it's better than liner in FRX?
@@carrygun_ Bro don't waste money, you should bend your knees more. I've the same problem before. Keep using them until they adapt to your feet form, take some pain is not the end of the world, like Mr White told Jesy GROW SOME BALLS.

Their branding is such a confusing mess; people who don't know the history get really confused about whether it's two distinct companies or the same company with different product lines or two different companies selling the same skates ha ha
Hello, I just got the FR UFR 90 Intuition. I have very thin calves so I need to cut plastic part. How much do I need to cut? Do I have to make sur it doesn't overlap, or do I need juste a little overlap? Also, is the UFS system like the FRX mounting? not as good as some with a metal plate? Thanks PS: it is really hard, I just got the gardening scissors from my dad toaday to be able to cut it ^^
@@freshasadaisy4782 I agree with this. I have thinner legs too. I cut off a couple parts of the cuff flap at first and then realized that keeping it sort of acts as something that fills out the cuff area, similar to using the yellow(thicker) padding on an Intuition V2 liner. I got better results out of cutting down the excess buckle that goes past the receptor into the cuff.
I started with the frx 80s. They've been great. I'm just gliding around and practicing crossing over and stopping. I should have gotten the brake though
@deltafour1212 I can get some pretty good speed going. The first time I took these to the rink they rode nice, but the wheels are soft for outdoor stuff. Unrelated to the skates, I sprained my ankle that night at the rink🤣 three months later, to the day, I was back in these skates. They're comfortable, and they saved me from breaking an ankle I'm 85% sure of that
@@Will-tm5bj 59 here. Pretty athletic. Getting back into skating after 30 plus year. I was debating to get 80 or 90. Want them just for fitness to skate 3 to 5 miles on the flats but love speed (when I get better at it) Only want to spend money one time. They say bigger the wheel faster the speed. I don't want to go crazy fast but fast enough to get that rush. Just wondering if there really is that much of a difference in speed wise between the 80 and 90
@deltafour1212 I can't answer that as I've never been on 90mm wheels. I can tell you, for me, I go plenty fast in this 80mm set up. All I'll say is wear protective gear. I sprained my ankle and it didn't break because the boot, but my wrists were fine after I went flying because I had on wrist guards. I wear a helmet when I'm outdoor skating

Thanks for all the info. So much info for the FR brand. But they are great skates. I have the FR Spin and I love them.
The wheel cover is useful if you, for example, store your skates in your car's trunk and you don't want the trunk to get dirty, or stuff like that.
thanks, that makes sense
Thank you so much for all the useful information 🙏
