Big respect for the rink skating. I don't see inline skaters doing rhythm skating in the rink often. The video was a fun watch too. Endless has sent me a lot of their frames for testing, but the octopus frame is one I bought. It's such an awesome design and they make some of the best products I've used. Glad you got the chance to try them out and you liked them. Also, great to see Andrew on your channel! I've been following him for a long time.
Once I tried Endless, I couldn't ride anything else. I love their frames. I'm basically a free style city skater with a long distance goal of wizard skating. Carving is a big, big part of my style.
Love your honest review! I’ve been using an endless 90 for six months , but I’ve mostly ridden 90mm the whole time I’ve been skating. Watching you and Tiago(he runs rockered 80/76, it makes me want to get the new 80mm endless. You guys are so maneuverable.
Great review! Wonder how many Endless skaters have seen rink skating like that 🔥🔥. My thoughts on the whole flat/rocker/wheel sizes is that it's not either-or, it's both, and I'm glad you came to a similar conclusion.
Oh I know you're gonna have a blast with those rockered frames. I can only skate rockered frames. And yessss to wizard. Wizard is really cool on ice too.
I actually pulled the trigger on some Endless frames myself thanks to this video! Got the Endless 100 for my Rollerblade Twister 100 and man, it's just a night and day difference, the original frames were nuts too short (255mm/10in) and the new Endless 100 (303mm/12in) frame is just better for my use and having big feet was a factor too lol. Big wheel skater here btw haha
Wow, 25 miles in less than 2 hours! Super impressive. I’m training for a marathon coming up in Deluth MN in September and it seems long, I’ll get it though
Thank you a lot for the honest review. And you are perfectly right, is very nice to see the opinion of someone that has a skating style different and is used to another set up just been brave enough to try something new and be realistic about it. Just like there are different skating styles there are different skates, and so forth different hardware. I got myself exactly the same set up you tested and am looking forward for them both to arrive, the FR1 and the endless 90 and try them out. Thank you again
Nice to see a review of free gear that isnt brown-nosed, even if grateful and courteous in tone. Endless frames are cool and all, but they're pricy, and people act like they're some sort of magic. Not a lot these prerockered frames do that you couldn't do with 76,80,80,76 or a 80,84,84,80, or a little mixing and matching of semi-worn wheels. Anyway, nice review :)
I see videos and read that bigger wheels put a lot of stress on the ankles, knees and hips because it's not easy to carve and turn. That makes it much harder to perform tricks and prone injuries on the joints.
The weirdest part for you is probably going to be getting over the idea of popping from the ground to pivot faster, and not staying on your middle edge. I have to think more about how my skates are leaning over to get onto corresponding edges. Fast progress to that 360 closed lion though. Andrew is the epitome of the phrase "Wizard." I don't think I've gotten comfortable with any tricks until I've let him see me do it and workshop with him. Mixing disciplines is a huge part of wizard skating, it'd be exciting to see what a snapper does as they learn it.
When you mentioned running flat 80s, it reminded me of Skate Fresh Asha. I think I remember her mentioning one time she's running a flat setup before. Both of you prove that good technique can allow you to pull off tricks regardless of the frame configuration. Glad you appreciated these frames too.
Honestly an amazing frame. Agile AF ! while still steady. Have to rotate wheels for every session tho. Went from 80 to 90mm myself after 3 years. Wheels last longer because I can tolerate bigger ware on the wheels down to 80mm. Going from 80mm to 70mm was undoable for me. The Wizard vs Snap part made me laugh when you swapped styles with the other guy :D. Great video man, good vibes and prety comprehensive review at the end.
Cool review. I was looking at Endless but I ended up going with Kizer Element 90s less pain on my wallet. I'm hopefully going to a rink soon its winter here now. I know my frames are different but I felt the rocker right away it was amplified at speed too. As much as thats been a challenge for me the mobility for such a long wheelbase and the ability to ride over rougher surfaces is ungodly. I wish I could slap on 110mm wheels to try that out. Maybe next year you'll come out to the Toronto Roll? 😊
which boot would you recommend the most becasue i doing a build/setup and need a boot. so what would you recommend. the main colors im looking for are black and white?
How is the difference betwteen the 100mm wheels vs the 70mm wheels Im too broke to buy the rollerblades that have interchangeable frames Im thinking about buying them though but is the difference between them?
this is wild cause we both got our endless 90s at basically the same time (i got the ultra violet roughly a month ago). I love the speed the 90s give, such a small upgrade to wheel size but I noticed a big difference. I feel way more comfortable at higher speeds in the 90s as well, but I feel I was more agile in 80s for my tricks with spins/turns. Still getting used to them so opinion subject to change, dont foresee myself returning to 80s just yet. I still haven't explored the 110, you inspired me! My favorite setup to date was my Twister XT with 76MM on the front/back and two 80MM in the center-very rockered, felt like ice skating.
Why would you ride ANY inline skate THAT loose? That's how you break your ankles, especially trying wizard moves. I'm referring to the 10:30-10:40 section that shows how loose your lateral support is.
I think where you'd really see a big difference is 4x80 or 4x90 with an intuition liner, you may need to downsize your boot because it is a thinner liner, but it really makes your frame an extension of your foot, you can get the boot so comfortably Tight to your foot
Good, honest review. Rockered frames just sounds like a marketing gimmick to get people to buy more stuff we don't need. I find it annoying seeing so many other channels pushing this unnecessary crap.
I mean to be true is a matter of taste. You are probably not going to take speed skates to the park to do aggressive skating, or try to use aggressive skates to win a race right? Rather than trying to "push you to buy crap you don't need" Endlessblading is trying to satisfy a need for a group of inline skaters to enjoy more their skating style.... Plus if a person ends up buying them to try I mean is their decision if they like them .....way to go, if they don't, well now they know they don't like them. At the end is always good to be respectful and understand that each person has different interest and like things their way.
Rockered setups have been around for decades bro. They exist on ice and inline, the entire discipline of slalom uses it… if it was a gimmick, none of that would be true
All setups become rockered once they are skated and the wheels wear a little. So it’s really the default experience that most of us enjoy when skating. That feeling of a nicely worn-in flat setup…that’s a rocker. The beauty of a pre-rockered frame is that you get that experience right out of the box. Having a slight rocker (not a 2 mm slalom rocker) makes turning and carving much easier and more intuitive for beginners. I hope you get a chance to try my frames one day. I think you’d really enjoy them. And the rocker is only one aspect of the design that makes them an enjoyable experience. There’s other technical features contributing to the performance, too. Happy skating!

omg you're in maryland?? cool! Your skating looks so fun. I hope i can get to this level of flow even on 80mm flat set ups
Yep Maryland and thank you so much! 🦑
BIG SMILE ON YOUR FACE !! LOVE MY ENDLESS. THANKS FOR POSTING BRO. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

you should try endless 80 to the rink, guess that fit you better
You'll get used to the rocker, takes a long time for those little stabilizer muscles in your legs and feet to develop
Good to know. So I'll be able to downhill in my non-rockered cheap inlines sometime soon.
MORE WIZARD
Hop on the ice man !!!
I just bought some last week and will be doing a big video on ice skating 😁
When you mentioned running flat 80s, it reminded me of Skate Fresh Asha. I think I remember her mentioning one time she's running a flat setup before. Both of you prove that good technique can allow you to pull off tricks regardless of the frame configuration.
Glad you appreciated these frames too.
Perfect trade off 84 mm
W skating squid
You gotta remake your original obstacle course!!

Yes I really want to get to Toronto next year, going to try my best!!
Look at him go 🥹⬆️
Perfect tradeoff is the use the endless 80m, with that you get 3x 100 for the trail. 4x90 isn't suited to rink skating in my opinion.
which boot would you recommend the most becasue i doing a build/setup and need a boot. so what would you recommend. the main colors im looking for are black and white?
My favorites have always been the fr1 skates
🔥🙌🏾
which FR skates are you using in the video sir?
Fr1 Skates! 🦑😁
What brand and model are your skate boots?
Fr1 skates 🦑😁
Hey squid, its been a bit
Have you ever thought of trying those new retractable roller skate shoes? I thought they were pretty cool
They look interesting, I’d be down to try them!
@Skating_Squid They're pretty stylish if you're looking at the ones i think you are. They're really neat shoes!
How is the difference betwteen the 100mm wheels vs the 70mm wheels Im too broke to buy the rollerblades that have interchangeable frames Im thinking about buying them though but is the difference between them?
I might have missed it, but are those FRX? Or something else?
They are fr1 skates 🦑😁
the 90s look huge. what size is your foot/boot?
I wear a size 42 fr skate 🦑
Great video, what is your boot size?
I wear a 42!

I gotta know that first song
Can you time stamp it? At the rink section it was “what you won’t do for love” by the young greats go go band
Can u go from rocker to flat on those frames or it’s only rocker?
You can only do flat 110mm you can’t change the 90 to flat.
@@Skating_Squid ah ok thanx.
Maybe it would be useful to know how this Endless Frame wheels are rockered to those watching to appreciate how to do it.
He is definitely using the rockered setup to move smoothly.
They are rocked automatically, all you have to do is put the wheels on normally.
I feel very weird when i skate on a flat setup 😐
where was day 11 filmed?
It was filmed in dc near the navy yard!
Adverts!!!
dats an octopus

Idk it feels comfy to me 😅😅
I will freak out if someone pranked my wheels to rockered.

I’m going to have to try that!
