    Great video.
    Im in a 46 Next boot and had the exact same problem. I thought it felt strange on the 243 w/ 110's and realized when I switched to my longer 4x80 how bad it was. The narrowing of the boot toward the heel was absolutely ridiculous. Never have I had such pain (closer to my ankle) in a boot. ever. It took a very long time with a heat gun to get a proper fit.
    Between putting a frame on that is just too small and the time and effort it took to make the boot comfortable, is worth NOT recommending to anyone with bigger feet. The price point is not crazy but you should still get something more quality. The boot is 4 out 10 straight out of the box and a 7 - 8 out of 10 after reworking and putting on different frames, very disappointing.

      Hi mate, only now I saw your comment 🙄
      I agree with it. Powerslide nexts do not feel as a high quality skate at all. And I am at the point where I would replace my “big wheel skates” to something else, but I am not sure at all what skates that would be. I do not want to go through another pair of skates and their fit issues etc 🙄

      @@VandKoala That makes sense. Break in with any boot is always the worst part.
      Im in the same boat. Every time I mention my issues with powerslide Next's somewhere people always recommend Seba FR1's.
      I wont be able to switch anytime soon but have always heard Seba is more accommodating to the "bigger footed". They will be my next big wheel boot if I somehow manage to run my Next's into the ground...one day.
      Thanks for the great content.

    I love both 4x90 and 3x110.
    I skate both to avoid overuse injuries. The shorter 3x110 taxes my lower back, but it is so fun to skate fast until the back starts screaming.
    The 4x90 is not as fun but is still fun and stable. The stability taxes my back less. I also get a better workout because I have to work harder to maintain my speed. My legs definitely feel more sore with the 4x90 than the 3x110. I do miss the mobility of my tri skates while I am on the 4x90.

    Really enjoyed this video. Lovely slides. Im getting into urban skating after just doing recreational straight line skating. Ive recently bought Powerslide Swell Triple Black 110mm and i truly love them. Strange how similar they feel to my Powerslide Ultron 4x90mm (in my opinion). I'll be using the triskates mainly but won't forget about the Ultron for more tricky tricks lol (when i pluck up the courage to try more advanced stuff). I'll be keeping an eye on your content. Keep up the great work :)

    I just got this skate and have the same problem with the pressure point around the 45 degree strap. It helped a little when I unlaced the boot... so I have the top three eyelets unlaced and just laced it up to the ankle part of the liners (instead of the plastic boot)

    Nice video and review! I kind of wish I had gotten Next 110mm instead of my Kaze 110. The Kaze just do not feel stiff enough for that high of a ride height. But hearing you had width problems makes me nervous about the NEXT because my feet are kind of wide. I think I should try a 4 wheel frame on my Kaze. I'd be fine with the 243mm 4x80 because I wear a 43/44 and I think being lower to the ground would make me enjoy my Kaze much more. And I agree, free or urban skating is so much fun! But it's always good to keep practicing aggressive because it seems like the best freeskaters are either current or former aggressive skaters!

    • @VandKoala
      @VandKoala  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I doubt if Nexts are more narrow than Kaze? But I have never tried Kazes, so I am not sure :) They were too narrow for me just in one place. And I did not consider my feet as wide before I got these skates. I wear all the shoes size 44. None of my previous skates were too narrow.
      Now regarding the frame length, I can ride 4x80 or 3x110 and basically do everything on them. But I knew in my mind that something is missing. I did not get the same feeling from these frames as "back in the day". They are even shorter than all of my aggressive frames. When I just got the 4x90 it felt amazing right away. I can't tell you how much better it is :)
      I rotate wheels 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4, so natural rocker develops and they are very maneuvrable, while extremely stable.
      I never was an aggressive skater, but it is fun to learn and practice, agree with you :)

      @@VandKoala Hey, I did not doubt you can handle 243mm. It makes sense that the bigger your foot, a longer frame will work better for you. I also wonder about trying smaller wheel on a frame meant for bigger wheels. I remember I video from Shaun Unwin on Shop Task that said he rode 90mm wheels on a frame that could take 4x100. It was a Seba frame, not his usual wizard frames. I should try 100mm wheels on my 3 wheel 243mm instead of 110mm. I'm sure the natural rocker on your 4X90mm set up feels great!

    I really want a pair of next 100 + 3 but have seen some reviews where they say that they are not so comfortable to wear and ride longer distances in, I wonder how you experience your gray ones, I think that the shoe should feel the same even though you have a different setup with your wheels.

    I have the same skates and notice its too narrow in the same spot. I need to wear very thin socks and not tighten the laces that much and that had an improvement but my feet still start to hurt after about an hour of skating. How did you punch out the width using heat gun? I'm considering trying that

  • @manhonlee7691
    @manhonlee7691 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good comment as I never considered frame lengths especially my size being 43/44. Comparisons with other skates' frames were really eye-balling. In fact right after watching, I immediately checked two other brands. It was alertful that their 3x110 frames were about the same, less than 249mm. 3x110 was my upgrade target as road conditions in my area were easily of bricks so bigger wheels were desirable. Initially I was very interested in 'Next' model purely due to its lower center of gravity. (The first impression was unusually down, their front parts looked too similar to old-dated shoes common to middle/high school girls required to wear uniforms. I wasn't concerned with design of style generally.) The middle partof my feet may be wide too. 4x90 will be definitely ideal frame length, not too short like 4x80 or 3x110, and not too long like 4x100. However, 90mm wheels may be rather uncomfortable on brick roads, if more hazard too! 3x125 would be too high dealing with uneven and rotten surface. Thanks again for your insight.

    • @VandKoala
      @VandKoala  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have recently tried 3x125 for the first time, they definitely roll better, but it is so much more demanding to get them rolling off the start or uphill! I will try them a couple more times and go back to 4x90 I think. They actually work for street and for fitness so well!
      Still would like to try 4x100 just for fitness at some point 🙄

      @VandKoala  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh and do not be over obsessed with that trinity “lower centre of gravity”. I am now switching from one setup to another - I really can’t tell the difference for my skating 🙄 those “points of contact in front” is just a marketing trick. There is no flex in aluminum plate with one tightened bolt either…

    Nice Video.
    I like to do city skating but on a fitness level intensity. Now i wonder if i have to sacrifice speed coming from 3x110 switching to 4x90. To be more specific is gaining and holding speed easier on 3x110 compared to 4x90 or vise versa? To be lower to the ground and getting a bit more frame length seems appealing to me but to have less roll and the need to stride more often for the same distance not so much.
    When i bought my skates a 4x90 trinity frame wasnt available so i had to go for the 3x110 but now things changed.
    So what do you think?
    It would be also interesting to know which weights more the 3x110 trinity setup or the 4x90 setup. Did you do the measuring already?

    • @VandKoala
      @VandKoala  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Finger Nagel Hi mate, thanks! It is a bit hard to tell the difference for me, especially when I am not a fitness skater. I guess you keep track on strava of your intervals, etc, so you can tell better 🙄 generally I do not feel a big difference. You know what, it might be a good idea to do a comparison video between these two frames. I will put one set of the frames and go for a few km round trip with a gps tracker :) I can also check the weight while doing so. If there will not be any disasters I should be able to do it next week :)
      It is raining this weekend and I had a tooth removed-not the best skating conditions :) but if you wait till the next week you will get much more “scientific” answer :)

      @VandKoala  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s like EU41? I would go with 80, but it completely depends on what type of skating you are going to do. If you are going for fitness long range exercising - go with 3x110. If you go for more “urban” style with small tricks, jumps, faster sprints 4x80 is a classic. There is no one-fit-all solution, unfortunately :) but the great thing is that you can do all these things on any of the setups, so don’t overthink.

    Hello, can I slalom with the 4x90 frame, what do you think about it?

    • @VandKoala
      @VandKoala  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      First of all, I am not a slalom skater, I just have tried some tricks.
      It is possible for sure, it just might not be the easiest setup for it. The further from the ground - the more difficult it will be to perform the tricks. Many slalom skaters skate 76s.
      Also you really want to have either a rockered frame or at least rockered wheels.
      The way to achieve the natural rocker is to only rotate the wheels 180degrees in the same position without changing their position as they wear. Wheel 1 stays on 1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, just rotate the same wheel in the position. Front and back wheels then will wear much faster and you will get an extremely maneuverable setup.
