- Hello you all!
So many of you were recently subscribing to our channel! We are so grateful! Sending you love from Denmark.
I have been struggling with the fit of the Powerslide Next Arctic Greys for the last six months.
So today is the new skate day - I got myself some FR1 90 blades.
While I was a bit worried if this will be another skate that does not fit me well, 100% honestly - these skates exceeded my expectations! It is a very high-level quality skate. I will make an update video after a while when I see how they lasted.
Time log:
00:00 - Intro
02:30 - Unboxing and detailed overview
12:30 - First impressions rolling
15:40 - Some uncut rolling footage

YOU DISERVE MORE SUBS MAN
Hey thanks man :) I think I got as many as I deserve and I am grateful for each and every one of you! I hope to be able to provide useful content going forwards and to attract more subs.
HOLYYY that was one of the best cinematic montages I have ever seen!! Incredible skating skills as well!🤩🤙 1:34 gotta be my favourite part
Hey thanks a lot for this kind comment. I have rewatched it myself :) I might soon find some time to make skating videos again as I enjoy both skating and the making part :)
Congratulations!!! That’s how reviews should be done!!! Just perfect!!! Keep it up!
That is great feedback, thanks man!
Love the cinematic look, and the usage of the cameras! great work and wonderful review.
Thanks mate!
Your editing and production quality has gone through the roof! 👏🏼 😍 I really need to get a dedicated big wheel setup. Cheers!
Inline Struggle thanks Chris, I am lucky to have a decent camera at hand and I spend a bit of time on videos like these :) I remember you were riding some big wheels and doing cool slides!
Thanks for your review. Your review is the only FR190 one online I can find and I have the same issue with the next as you with my big wide feet. I have also chosen the FR190 as I wanted comfort and a bigger wheel. what a difference the boot made.
FR fits better for wider feet :)
Wow man bringing that cine quality! Love the montage at the bringing and great skate overview! I really want to try some FR1s.
Thirty and Rollin thank you mate! It was a fun one to film and to edit. I am not only learning to skate but also how to film :)
@@VandKoala Doing really well in both!
I just unbox my fr1 80, i found your review so useful. You are the best who make a review on the fr skate. I stuck about how to unlock the middle strap but you show us how to deal with. Thanks for the valuable video
Hello! This is very kind of you, thanks! Enjoy your skates, this is a very good product :) See you on wheels!
As always amazing editing perfect camera angles and just a good video🎥🎥🎥👌
As always THANK YOU man for your support!
great review, great quality...
now i wanna get into skating! thanks :D
That is the purpose man - to get more of us skaters into this addiction :D thanks!
In depth review, Dude, I like it! I'm glad to see these FR look like a quality skate. My first set of inlines, many years ago, were Seba FR1's, which were excellent! And I see many similarities here.
I think that is exactly the reason why so many companies make/copy these boots still today. It is a really good skate for a really reasonable price :) Glad you liked the video man. Thanks!
I really enjoyed the video! And got some useful information about FR1s so I will probably go on and buy a pair for myself. Thanks
Thank you for this great review!
Thanks mate!
I've been wanting the Next 90 for a yr now but after watching this and hearing other people have the same issue I think you just sold me! I wear a size 47 so I think 90 is the perfect size for the skating I want to do.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Nexts are for some narrow-footed guys only :)
Thank you so much! I had no clue how to loosen the 45 degree strap but it was very clear how to do that in your video.
Hey! Thanks bro, glad you found something useful in the vid, thanks for the comment! :)
Just from the sound of your jump landings I can tell these frames/boots are solid.
I have the same issue with my PowerSlide Next 3x100. Lots of hot spots on both skates even after I heat molded the MyFit liners and skated these for a few months now. I do have wide feet and didn't know PS run narrow. I've heard the FR's accommodate wider feet. From your review, it seems like it does. Great skating and review! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video. I had the same problem with my Powerslide Next skates.... I was very frustrated about it and tried different ways to resolve the pressure but to no avail. Then I bought the FR1 90 and there is no pressure points..... and I enjoying skating now.
Yeah I know that feeling man! I was filming my last video next week and I put my Nexts on for like 20-30mins - I was almost in panic mode trying to get them off my feet as fast as possible :))) I bet they feel some people really well, unfortunately not us.
Well you guys both saved me frustration. I was gonna get the PS next but now opting for either FR2 or FR1
thanks for helping me find skates to fit my wider feet! I know what i’ll be buying after my wheels get tired
Thanks for the comment man 🙌
Great review, thanks!
Thanks mate!
Loved this video! 🤟🏼
Thanks man! 🙌
Awesome skating. I just got me some FR2 310 🔥 they arrive today!!!!
Hey thanks man, I need to step up my big wheel game. Been out on them yesterday, probably first time after summer and my skills are really rusty :)
But congrats with your skates, I am sure you will have a blast on them. 110s roll fast :)
Thank you for this review. I have the same EXACT situation going on with the next90. I just ordered the FR90 and I plan to use my intuition liners also.
Your feet will thank you :)
So a quick update.. the intuition x liners that come in the them skates are a bit thicker than the v2 so they fill the shell of the FR boot much better.
A Dansk rolling family? Very cool. These are my dream skates. I feel like I have found my people.
Only kind-of :) We are not danish, just love the country and live here for the last 5 years :)
The video was shot very well! The background is very clear
Thank you for the review
Cool footage and awesome skills! #jealous!
Thanks for the kind words mate, happy New Year!
Awesome editing and great video 🤙
I’ve been looking at skates to do skating tours of my local area with my 360 cam.
Perfect, thanks!
Thanking you man!
Great attitude - telling people to give thumb down if they don’t like the video. I really like it. Which city is it? I have my family near Aarhus so need to visit them with my skates.
Yo,
Great video. I've just subscribed. I think these may be my next skates....
I have had good experience with these and I think they have been time-tested :)
Thanks man!
Same story with Next skates. Cool video!
Thanks man, I think many people got similar problems with them :)
@@VandKoalathank ya! fr1 are my favourite skates. Did you prove them with the endless frames? It's just an amazing setup! 😉 it would be pretty nice to see a review from you.
Would have loved to have seen you skate the stock FR1 liner to hear your impressions about its fit, feel and performance, before it’s broken in and after it’s broken in. While I’m sure the intuition is the ideal liner for many, it’s simply out of my, and many people’s price range as an addition to this skate.
I know man, but even if the stock liner worked for me it does not mean it would for work you. Intuitions do not work for anyone either 🤷🏻♂️ at least with “my liner” I can tell if skate works/feel well. I still have not skated the stock liner on these skates and I doubt I will
@@VandKoala While no liner will fit everyone, testing the stock liner, and reviewing it, would provide valuable info as to the quality, responsiveness, performance before and after break in, how much the liner packs down after break in etc. It would help people become more informed as to what they're getting. Not reviewing the liner, because it may not fit someone is like not review a skate because it may not fit someone (example: many wide foot people will not fit an M12, RB Twister, and many narrow foot people will not fit the FR skates well etc. not every skate fit's everyone). If you're goal is to just give your impressions of your "personal" setup for the sake of sharing your passion with the world, then I understand why you didn't review the stock liner, but if you're trying to review the skate to help people decide if they should get the FR1, then it's best to test and review every aspect of what comes in the box. Just a thought to consider for the future.
@@mountainpeakcloud8442 I had a pair of FR3 skates, which have exactly the same liner. They are OK, but for some reason I had a weird pressure point where they touched my shinbone. But this depends on how far up you lace your boots. Sometimes I dont lace the liner, only the boot, and tie the laces around the boot on the height of the ankle. This way the liner is more free near the shinbone and the pressure-point disappeared. However, I finally changed the FR stock liner and put in a MyFit basic liner from the Powerslide-Zoom model. They felt much more comfortable right from the start.
@@nulldemokratiezwei7773 I see, that's interesting, thanks for your experience. I've had a very different experience with the stock liner. I have skinny legs, so even when I tighten the liner all the way up to the top, as tight as I can, it just gently hugs my shin, but doesn't bite into it. I suppose it depends on the volume of your legs and feet... if you have thicker legs, you may be more prone to that kind of pressure point on your shin, but if you have skinnier legs, it will probably be very comfortable.
@@mountainpeakcloud8442 thanks for the tip re narrow feet, as mine are narrow and this was a concern for me; so you would recommend the other two for that issue? do you know of any videos that address this? Thanks
Very comprehensive review! Great attention to detail. Looking to do a clip on these myself. See you prefer 4x90 for size 44. Thinking between this one or 4x80... size 43 is basically between worlds :))))
Both are rideable sizes for sure, but I do prefer 4x90 with a bit of natural wheel rocker for urban free ride :) just adds that little but of extra stability
Thank you. I’m debating another pair. I have aeons and dealing with short rides due to comfort issues so looking for options how’s the toe box ? And width ?
Greet video bro😊
At 1:00 that 360 looked effortless 🔥
If you do the 360 consistently every session they become quite easy :) just need to rotate your head until you spot the right angle/landing :)
Hi man, great video. What's your size of Fr and what size did you use on Next? I was looking to buy PS next but after checking your video I think I'll end up with FR.
Glad you found some big wheel skates that fit you well. I had heard the old Seba FR skates were good for wide feet. I've also heard that many have had fit issues with the Powerslide Next. I used to think that 4x80mm was the perfect urban freeskate. But I'm now starting to think that 4x90mm is the new 4x80mm!
Rolling Dubai Guy! The funny part is that I never ever thought in my life I had wide feet :) Nexts changed it. I can (and will) spend hours in my FRs without any discomfort.
I used to think the same with 4x80, but when I came back to blading after a long time and gave them a try - I did not like the short frames. Same with 3x110. I can and am riding them now and then, but when I get on 4x90 it feels so much better.
And it makes sense when you think of it. Someone with boot size 39 and 45 will find the same frame lenght feels different.
With the brand new wheels I would love some more maneuvrability, but I will only rotate and not switch the wheels - after 5-6 rolling hours my skates will already be rockered and super maneuvrable.
@@VandKoala Powerslide now realizes that longer feet need longer frames and offers the Next 3x110 skates from 44-45 with 10.6inch frame length.
That could make you like the 3x110 setup again.
Scham Haar that is cool actually, did not know that, thanks! looks like overall understanding in the industry is already here - just look how many longer frames introduced this year!
I still find that for my semi - aggressive big wheel skating 90s make more sense :) but for fitness 110 might be a better choice.
@@VandKoala and when you rotate keep front wheels on the front and backs on the back even when you switch left to the right. But you probably know that already!
Rolling Dubai Guy! Yeah I do :) it just takes a few hours and then they are fine :)
Loved the video my baddah 🤙🏽
Aloha from Hawai’i and fellow FR skate owner, I currently have the FRX 80mm 2019 pair. It's my first pair ever and have been enjoying the journey these 4 months or so I've owned them.
What's your opinion on those large 110mm triskate setups? Would it be simple to just keep my current boot and swap the frames + wheels? Don't want to go through the hassle of breaking in a new boot if I can manage since my feet are supa wide af.
Sorry for wall of text, subscribed and thx for any insight.
Hi, if you like 4x80 - go ahead and try the 3x110 frames. No need to change boots in my opinion if you can just buy the frame. It is the same frame length so no big difference on that. 3x110 will be way better for "bad surfaces" - rolls over small bumps easier, more coast when you get them rolling.
At the same time takes more effort to accelerate, less agile, less grip, tougher landing from jumps/stairs, less stability due to higher centre of gravity and a bit more sketchy riding down the stairs :)
So depending what kind of riding you do you will either like them or not.
Thanks for the support mate!
i have had the powerslide next for about a year now skating on and off. Could you talk more about the pressure points you felt. I feel I have a similar issue where they never felt comfortable. I would wear them for 30-60 mins max at a time becasue my left and right side of the foot would feel too squeezed. Is this the pressure you felt and would I also benefit from looking for a model that is a bit wider on the toebox?
Encantada por esse patins 😍
I love your review here.
But most of all, the wheels' sound on good asphalt. May seem awkward but it's my thing 🙈🥰
Then you must love large, closed aluminum frames, like endless etc. They echo the sounds of the wheels and that would result in some serious satisfaction for you 😂
What width is your foot?
Would a 115mm width fit in 44eu with stock liners?
I really love your video. So detailed and I learned a lot. I'm planning to buy these skates (my first pair of skates), but since I live in the PH, I'm wondering if I should order spare wheels from the start. How long did your first set of wheels last? Also, does FR have their own wheels or should I buy from a different brand? If ever, is it possible to use 80mm wheels instead of 90? Would really appreciate your response.
Hi, thanks! :)
You can put 80mm wheels on 90mm frame with no problems :)
FR skates have pretty good wheels in my opinion. I am still riding stock ones, you just need to rotate them as they wear. The first set will last you several months don’t worry. The 90mm wheels that came with the skates are supper grippy, wear very slow, I love them.
For “big wheel” skates I like Hydrogen wheels, FR “street invaders” are well know for a great grip and they last forever :)
Oh and enjoy your skating!
@@VandKoala thank you so much for the inputs! I'm very excited to get my first skates. Thanks, man. I hope you keep creating quality content.
Thank you for the great review! Maybe next time roll the skates full stock then go to your high end liners and describe the difference.
Hi, thanks! I understand your point on trying skates as they come.
You see the stock liners are 280mm long inside and that is exactly 5mm shorter than what I need for my feet :) I have quite sensitive feet I am afraid I will not make any good judgment with a liner that is a bit small.
And on the other hand - taking the liner that I already have and am used to lets me see how the skates work.
If there will be more dry days here I might do the opposite - try out the stock liner now, when I know how the skates work and then make a full review describing the difference :)
this is the 43 -44 size or is it different izes from fr1 80
Great video! Were you able to compare the stock liners with the Intuition ones? How did they compare?
I did not ride in the stock liners. My foot is 285mm and stock ones look like 5mm too short. Thank you man!
Would you recommend the fr1 90 over the fr1 80?
Thanks for review, Question: It's possible to rocker this setup ? ( Or I need special Axles ? )
The cheapest way to do that is to rotate the wheels without changing them places. Your wheels 1 and 4 will wear faster than 2 and 3. You can get a really decent rocker this way. I was making a vid about that th-cam.com/video/tboVC19jb5E/w-d-xo.html
I just bought the FR3 and didnt know how to loosen the 45° strap. Very weird system with the 2 plastic wings, but you showed it well
Hey man, I imagine you now stuck in the skates 😂
Thanks for your review, it’s really helpful. After watching your video here, I just bought the FR1 90 with an intuition liner. There’re my first skates ever. I hope they are not too fast to learn on, do you think I made the right choice, or do you think I should have gone for smaller wheels? I’ve done a lot of skiing in my life, so hopefully I’ll catch on fairly quickly. . I do miss Denmark. Take care. XXX.
Hey mate, it will work just fine, one way or another there will be a learning curve 🤷🏻♂️ Intuitions is something people either love or hate, though :)
@@VandKoala Thank you for your reply and your kind encouraging words. My skates are on their way to me. I managed to get some smaller, 76mm, wheels from a friend. I’m thinking, that with the smaller wheels on my skates, I won’t have to worry about too much speed while I learn all the tricks, and then after a few months, put the 90mm wheels back on. It’s like learning your balance, coordination, edge control, etc. on a slow green ski slope, and then taking those skills to the black runs that have more speed. It should be an interesting experiment. Best wishes.
@@hazlitt1so what happened
@@andrewjohnson1253 I learned to skate in-line. It was great to switch to smaller wheels. Learned the basics really quickly, and then it was much easier skating with the bigger wheels. I didn’t have to learn the basics and having to control run-away speed on the bigger wheels at the same time. I recommend this progression to anyone first learning how to skate. It’s also a lot safer I found. I had hardly any spills compared to friends who learned on fast wheels.
Would 84 frame be too short for your foot size?
Have exactly same size and can’t decide between 90 or 84 version.
Not at all. My foot is 44 and I've skated 4x80, 4x100, 3x90, 3x110, 3x125. Every frame setup works a bit different and you got to try them to know what you like best.
The shorter the frame and the smaller the wheels - the more maneuverability you get. Which is nice if you like slalom type skating.
If you like more speed and stability - longer frames with bigger wheels work better.
Hi Mate, did you get them 1 size bigger?
Mohammad Katoor hi, no, I got size EU44 and that is what I normally wear. My feet are 285mm.
I saw that stock liners say 280mm, but I did not try to ride the stock ones.
I use intuitions size L, they are a bit on a “loose” side for me, but they fit in these skates no problems. I have to crank the 45deg. strap and laces quite a lot to get a comfortable, but snug feel.
Hello, did u try rollerblade rb 80? I'm not sure if buy rb 80 pro or fr1
Hi, no I have not skated rb models
What is the manoeuvrability of the 90mm wheels Vs 80mm wheels? Great overall video btw! Really enjoyed your clips and explanation :)
Well, the wheels of the same profile would feel very similar, but of course there is an impact from the frame length: - longer frames are more stable, turn slower than the shorter ones. The difference is negligible though, and rockered frames/naturally worn wheels to a rocker still make them maneuverable as crazy :)
@@VandKoala great video. I'm about to buy my first skates. Haven't been skating in 20y. Going for the budget FRX ones, but they come with the 243 frame 80mm wheels. My foot size is 43 or 44... Is this frame ok? It looks a bit short, but very agile. While the bigger one would fit my foot length better, it looks so clumsy? I would use them to cruis around town, do some tricks, nothing special. Bigher frames with 90mm wheels is probably less fatiguing to push around?
Amazing, love your content. could you tell us the luts you used for to colorize the video, i will appreciate, thank you.. thumbs up and subscribed...
Hi, I manually color grade each shot ;)
Hey man are these the only skates that come as standard with 90mm wheels? I am 6 ft 3 with size 11 UK feet and I think 84mm wheels will be too small for me. Thanks for your time, great video
Powerslide Nexts come with 90 as well, but they are unbelievably narrow and cause me pain...
If 84 fits it will be just fine, the frame then is longer than 243mm. Beware of 4x80 as they have a short frame. You can skate that one as well, but for me 90 feel more “natural”
Thanks man!
You might want to look into the RB Maxxum Edge 90.
What size was the Next skate and what size is the fr1 skate? I own a Next size 44-45, the width is alright after breaking them in, it was extremely painfull at first. But now i find them a bit long so its not secure. I want to order the fr1 size 44eu online. I have flat/wide feet.
Hi, it was 44-45 as well. It never broke in for me...
My toe area was completely loose in the nexts. FR1s 44 seem a bit shorter. Definitely wider in the middle part. There is still some room in the fron with the intuitions I think, but less. The stock liners on 44eu are 280mm, my foot 285. I could feel toes against the end of the liner. But the skate will be like 290-295 or so, I think.
I found the nexts too narrow and too long at the same time
@@VandKoala Thank you so much now i feel comfortable to order it online from overseas. Thanx again
13:46 I can't do crossovers like that... mostly at the and of the crossovers, the outside ankle, of my inside leg(right in the outside bone, and a little bit below, sorry not being more specific, I don't know the name of the bone), hurts a lot. so much that after a few of those, I can barely skate anymore.
What do you think might be wrong?
I tried pulling my inside leg earlier but it hurts anyway, maybe a little bit less. I think It might be something to do with how tightened my cuf is. The thing is that if I tighten it, I start to feel some pressure in the legs while bending the knee above where it should be(the toes). Is that right? should I feel I little bit of pressure there? Also, my skates are the right size, and at least the foot part is well tightened. My heels are looked to the bottom of the skate and if I lift and wiggle my foot, it keeps the same. just the cuf that seems to be somewhat looser than they should.
Hi mate, it is hard to say. I am of the opinion that it should generally not hurt when you skate :)
I had a similar issue with USD aeons hurting my inner ankle bone and the only thing that helped was replacement of the cuff (and I tried heat moulding the boot, neoprene ankle supports, dremelling the sharper edges, replacing 3 different liners etc.). What boot are you skating?
@@VandKoala that's strange for me since normally, my foot does not hurt at all. It was only when I begin the crossover training that I started feeling that.
I'm using a hard boot, with a fairly soft liner. it's not a high-end skate, but it is a good entry point. It is closer to the price of a high end one, like Fila NRK, than the cheap ones, at least in my country.
I thought I would have something to do with how much I'm twisting my ankles of the supporting(inside) leg, when finishing the crossover, hence the reason why I told about the loose cuf, but I'm not so sure about that. I've been looking at those speed skaters and they twist their ankle a lot when doing crossovers, also, there is no cuf to support the inside leg. Of course, these guys train a lot... perhaps is that as well and my ankles are not strong enough, though I never saw anything about ankle exercises for crossovers.
thanks for the time and answer.
Am i correct if i say these are the fr1 80 but with 90mm wheels or is the boot different
I think you are correct. Oh, it is not only the wheels, also the frames (metal that holds the wheels) are different.
@@VandKoala ok
How did the stock 44 liner fit for your foot size size 28.5? thanks!
my toes were against the end of it. Never rided it long enough, but I think it would break in. The boot size is ideal though...
@@VandKoala awesome thanks for that!
I was thinking about picking up the Powerslide Next but am worried about it being too narrow. Do you feel the FR1 provides better comfort for wider feet?
I have wide feet that do not fit into Powerslides, Flying Eagles, or any other. The FR boots fit amazing and I have NEVER had foot pain no matter how long I ride, and I can ride all fucking day ! My leg muscles will give out before my feet do in FR'S . (by the way, I'm not being paid by SEBA to say any of this. I am legit)
I have to agree with Rob - I can skate all day long in FR! Unfortunately, I could not say the same about the Nexts. I did not ever consider my feet “wide” as I have always fit everything pretty well. Even after punching out the Nexts with the heat gun I can’t ride them more than 60mins. I have to get them off my feet.
If you have wider feet go for FR for sure mate
@@robbrenton9438 that what I want to hear. I did 124 km in my old pair of rollerblade lightspeed 90mm in one skate this season want to do better next season. I have a rollerblade frame with 125 wheels 165 mount won't fit on my boots even though they are a 165 mount middle wheel just touches. Did you change your liners to. With the 125mm wheels on them mybe I will be able to do 150 km that what I'm shooting for next season
Been scavenging for a SEBA/FR 4x90 mm frame for a while now but without luck.
I find it overall hard to find much stuff in 2020 :)
Have you also tried 84mm wheels with a 255mm frame? Or is 90mm with 273mm the way to go for a size 44 (or above)? In that case the FR1 Deluxe Intuition with a 90mm wheel/frame setup would be my choice. You get another frame (4D instead of Deluxe V3) then.
I do not want anything shorter than 273 tbh. I have not tried the 255 yet
nice video. how do you feel compared to the 110mm skate?
I love the 4x90, I think it is the most versatile setup for city skating and you can have a decent fitness ride as well. Stairs, jumps etc all works well. 110 roll better over rough surfaces, but I prefer a bit longer frame. My 3x110 are now used by my wife mainly, I am on 4x90
@@VandKoala nice. I have my k2 mod 90mm for a decade, not very happy for it BC the speed reduction is huge I feel, but I might due to the k2 is soft boot. Literally I skated the same ruote using FRx 80 right now and feel better. The avg speed is about 1 miles slower. Thinking to get fr310 mainly for fitness. All 20 years of skating I have been used soft boot only and tried the frx 80 there is no way back..
if you dont mind me asking, i think we have similar sized feet..285mm right foot and 280mm left foot and about 110mm wide. what size skate did you get and are you still happy with the size? TIA.
Hi, sounds similar! I got the eu44, have not skated stock liners, they seemed tight a bit (would probably brake in), but the boot fits me well with my liners.
A bit late response but if anyone else needs info, i have 280mm by 110mm feet and got the FR3 (same boot) in eu44 and use it with the stock liner. At first it was uncomfortably tight and too short but as everyone say it does get bigger quite fast. Would say it is a perfect fit now. Taking out the insole the first couple of hours really helped with breaking it in.
@@hampuslindvall9181 thanks for this. I have 285 mm x 112 mm foot and have been trying to figure out what model and size to order as my next skate. Have you been happy with your skates? I’m thinking the FR1 90s like the pair in this review.
Try superfeet blue insoles in the next skates. It fixed the problem for me.
I have tried different insoles on my skates and none of the “good-expensive”ones really worked for me 🙄
Are there any significant differences between the 2015 seba fr1 and fr fr1?
The mould for the boot must be the same. Liners/frames/wheels/buckles might be different. Depends what is “significant” for you :)
This new buckle lock looks really like old one in seba FR1 in 2012. Interesting)
Hey man im trying to decide on a pair of skates i really want an all black pair and im looking heavily at fr1's ....cant 100% decide on 4 or 3 wheels and wheel sizes...recommendation? Thanks!
Well, it is a personal choice mate and probably depends how you ride. If you go 20+ km or do marathons - look into really big wheels like 3x125 or 3x110.
If you are into more aggressive ride style take 4 wheels for sure. Better grip, rotation, stability, landing from jumps, gap in the middle for stalls etc. If your foot is 43 consider 4x90 as the longer base will be more pleasant 🙄 that is how I choose :)
@@VandKoala my foot is 44 im pretty sure. Measured yesterday. I just dont want tiny wheels where i might trip over pebbles/cracks or shit easier lol. I wont be doing any marathons just cruising for fun around town/city like urban type skating.
@@GrandmasterHobbyist seems like you know what you’d like. Bigger wheels, faster speed. I recommend 3x100 for you
That unique buckle design looks a little flimsy, like it could break easily? Great video, thanks!
Dave W I don’t know man :) it looks weird. Time will show how long will it last. Thanks a lot!
Sir what is size of your intuition liner V1, large or medium ?
It is ammm let me see. It is Large and it is a bit too large for me. Medium is a bit too small for me 🙄 my foot 285mm
@@VandKoala thanks a lot for the reply, I ordered for the large size my foot 🦶 is 28cm
🔥 👀
Thanks for the support man!
I think I have found my new skates
I really like them :) I hope you will too
people have said that the FR1 (FR in general) use wider shells compared to many other brands, is this true from your experience?
yes, I am a women and they are the widest freeride skates I have tried
@@ooliya thanks for a quick answer! much appreciated!
@@xdKAYf0lcflhDi7mfXRFkw they are definitely on the “wider in general” sizing side, powerslide being on the oposite 🙄
@@VandKoala Thanks for the information on the powerslide! You saved me time with the information and will stick to the FR. Once again thanx!
why its out of market?
what's the name of these hands protectors? thanks
Ennui city brace - they are my favorites!
I bought flying eagle F4.. I feel pain and pressure in my feet soles. I was planning to buy Flying Eagle F7 in terms of more comfort.
But after watching this review I feel like I'd like to buy FR. My feet length is 4.2" wide.
I'd like to know your opinion in term of comfort to eliminate the foot pain..
Do you think I have good decision if I buy FR3 310 than FLying Eagle F7 110h?
Thank you. Sorry for my bad english.
Hi mate, I would really love to help you, but I never skated any flying eagles... it is so annoying with the skates that we have different feet... I find these very comfy, but that does not mean they will be comfy for you as well...
@@VandKoala thank you mate for your feedback. I've searched a lot for his FR3 and FE F7 110h, both are good quality skates. But I found that FR3 is more superior in comfort for most users.
Another brand is powerslide. But too much complaints of foot pain/ankle pain for power slide.
Thanks again mate. God bless you and your family . I really appreciate your feedback.
@@bmw335hdk2 hey I got my FR1 90 today size 12 or 46. My feet dimensions are 11.25” length and 4.43” width. The insolenthat comes on the FR1 creates sharp edges where it warps. Easy to change to a sneaker type of insole. The shell length and width is generous without the liner. My toes touch the the tip of the liner but it should technically stretch with time. The biggest issue is the ankle area, which has a pressure point on the inner ankle bones that it’s unbearable.
Conclusion even though the FR shell can accommodate wide feet the ankle area is not as forgiving.
Wow
Cheers :)
when you hit grass don't run, just lean back and go right through it. ;-) We use to go down grass hills on our 80 mm wheels and be turning. So that small patch at the end you ran over you should have easily been able to just roll through. As long as you keep you weight back a bit so it doesn't grip. Watch out for crab grass.
In this area there is so much soft moss everywhere - rather not even risk it :) there is nothing wrong with a little run on my high heels :D
The front of my foot is a bit wider than most people's on the outside of the foot behind my baby toes. You said they were wider that powerslides? Was wondering in what way
I got pain exactly on outside of my feet on the powerslides (I have never considered my feet wide and Nexts where the first skates ever I got problems with the width). There is no pressure or discomfort on the FR1s, so I assume they are wider there 🙄
@@VandKoala sry one more question. Should i leave an extra centimeter of space for my feet in the front? Fr says they dont recommend but since you were nice enough to respond. Its hard shopping online and know how it will fit thanx so much
Have you tried the FR1 Deluxe Intuition 80?
BaylorFB hi mate, no, these are my first FR skates I have ever tried.
I like the video very much, good job.
I myself roll on the FR skates for 7 years now and cant complain about the functionallity at all. Great skate but with an ugly old design.
Btw, after compfy comes loose, at least with the standard liner but that takes a while.
I agree with you that the 165 mounting is a solid connection from boot to frame and not inferior to Trinity but Trinity lowers the stand hight, thats for sure.
Now that you have both mounting standards in setup size 4x90 it would be nice to know the exact difference in stand hight.
Finger Nagel hi mate. I love the design a lot :)
I will try and compare somehow, just not sure how to measure it yet 🙄 the fact is - I can’t tell the difference when riding, jumping off stuff, etc.
@@VandKoala Put an object upright in the skate, then create a right angle and mark it on a wall. Finally, measure the height from the floor to the marking. I think that's a better way than just measuring the frame height.
Wait and see if you still like the skate after seven years. 😆
@@VandKoala And also please measure the weight of the boot and the setup. That would be interesting in comparison the your measurements of the Next in the previous video.
@@freshasadaisy4782 @RollingFamily that would be a great video comparing the Next and FR1 boot ;)
Pangit Ster I might do it 🙄
what is your shoe size US? and what size of skates u got? please share
I don’t know the US size :) my shoes are 44EU as well as these skates. My foot length is 285mm
Why don't retailers carry this model? Seems hard to find
Cool video, well done! I also decided to buy FR1, but I cannot choose the size ... I wear 41 sizes (26 cm), which is better to order 41 or 42? How did you choose your size? Thank you!
Hi, thanks! I try to look for info on MP sizes - measures in mm. Then stand on a sheet of paper and trace my feet, measure the MP and that is how I choose :) but it is a tricky one...
FR says size 44 is 285mm max and that is my foot length. I think with a thiner liner there are actually few extra mm.
For the 41 eu max size is 265mm, 42 is 270mm. Maybe that will help?

@@VandKoala Thank you for such a useful answer, today I went to the store to measure 41 by 26 cm for me was small, but the 42 size was excellent. Will be ordering for March 8th!
I think the wheel covers are o keep them warm like those on F1 cars :)
Haha good idea! Tire warmers :)
Hi friend, I'm thinking of buying some skates. But I've been looking for some skates that are very comfortable and very versatile. I've been looking at various options including the next 80mm. But every time I feel more confused I want to know what skates would recommend me that are really comfortable and are very manageable to turn, jump and move smoothly.
Read this, very helpful
bladeville.com/blog/how-to-fit-a-shell
Hi mate, it is a very hard question, especially the “comfortable” part. Some people find the Nexts comfortable. I can’t wear them (and many others as well). It is the best if you can try some models at a shop. If you find a comfortable skates - you will be able to do everything that you want, despite if it is 4x80 or 4x90 or any other frame. It comes down to how many hours you practice more than to the size of the wheels...
@@VandKoala The difficult thing is that here in Colombia one does not find a store with enough models of skates and generally the prices are very high. Clearly the ideal would be to go try on various brands and sizes, but it is impossible, so I asked you, who have more experience if you would recommend some skates in general, that you think are comfortable enough for anyone. I have a lot of experience skating because when I was in high school I skated a lot, jumping and ramping but now that I'm almost 40 years old I want to buy something I can enjoy and I see that many other references have come out. About 5 years ago I bought a powerslide-phuzion-7-open-air, but it didn't feel comfortable and I didn't enjoy it because it felt uncomfortable and unstable.
Diego Sanchez I can understand that and I would love to help you, but we all have very different feet... there are no skates comfortable for everyone.
I can tell now that FR1s are much better for wider feet than the Nexts. I have never considered my feet as wide 🙄 many people complained about the Nexts being too narrow.
This is soul have measured the aggressive shells - maybe that will provide some info on the brand sizing: th-cam.com/video/LpBRTEBgNsU/w-d-xo.html there are links in their description.
@Mikael Olsson you're welcome.
Im debating getting these or the fr2 80s. I can’t make a decision! Any opinion would be much appreciated!! Thanks for the review.
What is your boot size? I believe that size EU43 and up feels so much better with a longer frame. The one with 80mm wheels will have 243mm frame, 90mm - 273.
@@VandKoala I’m a size 44! Thanks for the input!
Hi there
thanks for a great video.
been watching your vids for a while now :-)
would love to hear your opinion if you can help.
i just got of the FR website and saw they have the FR1 90 mm...like the ones that you got, and also they have the UFR 90 with Intuition liver and a natural rocker (1 mm) frame.
do you have any words about that model after getting your FR1??
and for the price differnce...what do you think?
FR1 90 are 399$
and UFR 90 with Intuition liver frame and upgraded wheels and bearings are 479$
80$ difference
would love to hear your opinion on it :-)
and if anybody else have tried them...:-)
thanks a lot for the help
and keep on doing the awesome vid's that you do.

Nice Setup!
Are you maybe thinking of selling your old 90mm frames?
Thanks man, I was thinking. But maybe I will first try to sell the full set :)
@@VandKoala what is the full set and how much would you ask for?
Is it at all possible to grind on stuff with there's kinds of skates?? if not I understand 👍👍
"Possible" is a strong word :) Everything is possible, but grinding on "freeskates" is very impractical. The closest skate "between the two worlds" is USD Aeon. 80mm closer to freeskate, 60mm closer to aggressive skate.
Should I get rockered or flat 4x90s beginner here
It depends what are you going to do. If you gonna "just skate" go with flat, it will be enough "movement" down there for a beginner without rockering. The wheels will wear-in and you can get them rockered by rotating, but not changing places. Generally, for beginners I would recommend going flat, unless oriented to slalom
@@VandKoala thanks so much ! Fr1 90 it is, I’ll ride the flat and upgrade frame later . Enjoyin the channel 👍
greetings from Turkey....
Hey mate, thanks a bunch! How is the blading in Turkey bro?
@@VandKoala İts developing day by day bro, i am one of the noob skater just trying to learn :)
Is the size ok for you? 44,5.
I have not tried with the original liner. But the boot fits me well. There is little extra space in the toe area. Mine are size 44 I believe and feet 285mm
@@VandKoala heh, so if i have around 280 mm feet lenght, and i would use size 44, and standard liner, it should be ok with fitting, i quess, i hope :-D
whats the camera gear?
and export settings?
Nikon Z6 mate + some riding footage on insta360 oneR . Export settings from where? From the post? It's avi 1920x1080 H.264 And filming was done on different setting depending on the scene
@@VandKoala Awesome quality! Keep it up!
thanks man! :)
Fr1 80 or 90
What is best
It really depends on what do you like. What is your boot size? If you are EU43 and above I would recommend 90. You can always use 80mm wheels on those, but you will have a longer frame 273mm.
If you wear smaller boots - 80mm frame of 243mm length can be fun as well.
@@VandKoala i got eu46
What kind of helmet is that?
Very cool vid btw
@@bob_sala Thanks man. That is triple-8 sweatsaver certified, I think. triple8.com/products/the-certified-sweatsaver-2?variant=32724681293961
Not sure if you'll know but my feet are right around 260mm and I'm trying to decide between the EU39/40/41 for a performance fit.. spent hours trying to figure it out with so many different answers lol. This boot(not sure which wheel setup) will be my first pair and I don't have a shop near me 😔
It looks simple to me mate :) Sizing table says EU39 max foot length 253mm, EU40 261, EU41 265. Performance fit - I would go for EU 40. What is bothering you? :) www.proskatersplace.com/skates-sizing/seba-skate-sizing/
@@VandKoala this is just my first pair in over 10 years lol. And there's so many different opinions about fit online that it has me nervous but I think I will go with the EU40 🙏🏽
@@AlmostLakai94 how did they fit? I'm also exactly 260mm on my left foot. My right foot is slightly smaller. I'm thinking of getting 7.5 (eu40) size.
@@AlmostLakai94 did the size 40 worked for you?
