I'm 51 yrs old, starting skating about a year ago and absolutely love it. I have 2 complete WIZARD set ups..4x110 and 4x100 which I haven't tried yet, still in the box !!
Thank you :). I definitely had to good ASMR. I was inspired by some of the camping/nature channels I recently watched. Thanks for the comment my friend.
Damn you were going fast on these things. Those tripod scenes are allways so sasifying to watch , just the pure sounds of the wheels on the ground beautiful.
Nice review and some awesome skating sequences to show just what can be done on "beginner"/intermediate tri-skates - if you know what you're doing! I've got both FRX80 & FRX310 and wore out the wheels on the 80's so can testify to the solid construction, great wheels & bearings in particular. The only negative are the "pressed" loop buckles for the velcro straps. They can bend and the strap comes out. Be careful not to over tighten them. Otherwise great value.
I stumbled across this channel after watching hours of content from Ricardo Lino, @thirtyandrollin, and @skating_squid, and there were a few things that stood out about your content (in a good way!) I'm not sure if you have a 2nd person filming with you or you just set up a tripod for the "fly-by" shots, but those shots were probably my favorite. The creativity to set those up and give us a mix of first- person and spectator pov is great, even in a short product review video. I also enjoyed the blend of honest commentary before and after the skate with the storytelling of the trail footage here, stopping to take out the sole insert and then explaining it later. The last piece that was great to see was the more creative and technical skating you did with the cement parking block slalom, hydrant hurdle, and smooth 180s at speed. Again, it told the story of the short maneuverable frames before you ever explained it in words. I just turned 40 and started skating again after taking 25 years off. Watching content like this pushes me to get out there and DO MORE! Now that it's been 2 years since making this video, what are your long term thoughts on the FRX310s? I've got a pair of Powerslide Swell 110s and love the quality, but after 50 miles on them, the fit STILL isn't right for me (too narrow). Let me know if you experienced any further issues with the break in of these. Great video, and I'll be back for more!
Thank you so much for the detailed comment, seriously appreciate you taking the time. Overall I think they are great but unfortunately I just didn’t skate them much outside of the few videos I made here on the channel. Mostly because I couldn’t really get the fit dialed in, ironically I skated the FR UFRS with the same liner and they fit well.
If you would like a longer more stable wheelbase in a 110 wheel, check out the powerslide next Charcoal 110. With the combat rocker frame. It’s basically a 4X 90 wheelbase with 3X 110 wheels
haha, oh man, i bought my first inline skate 2 days ago.. i am able to slow myself down, somewhat.. hehehe definetly need to learn how to stop properly, it's on my list! Anyway, riding these 125mm wheels was what i always was looking for, without knowing it. When i was a kid, there were no big wheels and always disliked aggressive skates because i prefer to just skate around, from the city centre to rural area's. From good roads to bad ones, well you know how it is. Aggressive skates were the ones i could borrow from a friend of mine, back in the days.
I think the spaces in between the wheels are quite small, so in my case, my new K2 will have more space, hope handling is still good at higher speed. Need to go for 3 wheels because my 4x80mm skates are so horrible to speed up.
It's always best to know your foot length in millimeter and go for the mondopoint... These fit true to size, so you should be fine with a UK 9.5 (mondo 28)... Won't fit like sneakers though, will (and should) feel pretty tight at first... If you can, try on in a local skate shop... Don't judge size until you laced up completely and take skating stance with your shins against the tongue... No foot movement, feeling (almost too) thight and snug without any specific pressure point would indicate a good fit... If you buy too big you might be happy first but after they loosen up a bit say hello to pain and blisters 😅
15 miles and no calf cramps?! I did 10 miles on my Zoom 80’s and felt like I was paralyzed for a good 20 mins lol. I’ve been curious about tri-skates though, so looking forward to your thoughts on them long term. Awesome vid as always man and glad your channel is getting more exposure!
Ben is being too modest; we trained 3 days a week doing in-line speed skating from January 2009-December 2010. He finished top 3 in his age bracket in an 89 mile marathon. He followed that up with 10 years of military. He’s an absolute beast! I’d recommend ingesting some “powerbar brand gels” while skating along with a banana after your first mile or two(even if you despise them!) That was what we trained with. Maybe try to do 5 miles three times a week for a month. After that, attempt the 10 miles again and you’ll breeze through it ;)
@@danielnewby2255 Trust me I never ate a banana before I started speedskating and I haven’t really ate one since lol... try the powerbar gels then and maybe a few ounces of Gatorade G2 instead
After all these years you are still a machine.. I’m a machine also, but an inferior one 😂 you are the T-1000 and I’m the T-800 terminator. I really want to do the A2A again. Maybe we can do the 52 mile? Not finishing the full distance is my greatest regret in life... looking back I really couldn’t have gone on but I must avenge myself and finish it before I’m too old(I’ll be 50 in 12 years 😬)
Thanks homie :) I may consider it again. 👀 Fwiw- in a2a I was in a group of about 7 guys for around the middle 30-40 miles. They were all 45+ and they DUSTED MY ASS. They left me behind like I was standing still and I was pretty devastated because they were a fun group. We have plenty of years to make it happen. 💯
No way those wheels are 88a. Maybe 85a at best, judging from the pitting and wear after 15 miles Did they send you the skates for free or gave you a discount on them.. Can't really trust reviews where the buyer didn't put in any of his own money
I've seen so many conflicting thoughts on the sizing. Did you order your shoe size or measure your foot? I wear a 12 but measuring my foot it says to get smaller, someone else said it fit small so get a bigger.. the sizes of all the skates I've been looking at is driving me crazy 🤪 🤣🤣 I'm between the frx and the rb cruiser pro x.. I dunno
@Eric Bernardi they fit well. I can see what they mean when they say to size down if you get a skinny liner though. The frx have been really nice. I did sprain my ankle the first time I took them to the skating rink though🤣🤣 took 3 months and I was right back in my skates though. I also 100% believe the type of boot and the fact that I had them strapped tight saved my ankle from getting broken into bits

@@iRollerboot SUBSCRIBED !!!
Thanks for posting, have ordered the FR1D 3-125's. Looking forward to hitting some bike paths/trails. Fantastic exercise, good for the body and mind.
Dude love the nat sounds and all the shots you collected! Mad amount of work! Love it! ASMR blading.

@@okthisisthelasttimeipromise Loved it :D
Really useful tips on the pros and cons of 110 tri-skates. Thanks!

I started inline skating again. I’m thinking of getting the K2 Trio 2023 model.
Love the content.
Awesome! Glad you’re enjoying them
♥️♥️
Such a cool change for you and the content is still fire!!! Keen to see more tricks on the urban :)
Thank for the support Romon 💯💯
Something I learned filming on trails... you have to hike / skate all of those shots twice. Nice work.
😉
Bro your speeding. I'm happy you are healed up enough to do big wheels. I've never skated big wheels. Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for the support Travis. 👍👍👍

I need to get on my 80's again I'm sat nursing a bruised ass after missing a ledge yesterday. All fun right!
80s sounds like a blast. 💥 heal up quickly.
Serious question: how do you avoid injuring your Achilles in terms of lacing up the boot? should you lace it tight or loose? or somewhere in between?
Hey I'm completely new to this. How do I work out my size? I'm 9.5 UK sneakers. So are these skates bigger or smaller or what? Thanks

How tight was it out of the box. I don’t know if I need a bigger size
For me...gotta be Rollerblade brand. Ain't got time for imitations. I might do Powerslide for something specialized, that's about the line.

Nice sponsor, nice video
With a longer frame im sure its more stable with 3 wheels like that

Did they send you the skates for free or gave you a discount on them.. Can't really trust reviews where the buyer didn't put in any of his own money
Good point Jessie- They’re weren’t free.
There's cameras everywhere where you live. 🤣

Whats funny is the bigger wheel is made for speed BUT u cant really go fast on them,seems counterproductive

I'm between the frx and the rb cruiser pro x.. I dunno
I found that they run a bit small (with the stock liner) if you get a thinner liner (intuition) you should be able to size down.
@@iRollerboot I wound up getting an 11 1/2 so we shall see. They should be here next week. I'm stoked
The frx
@@Will-tm5bj good choice I hope...
