Once again excellent video, except for the bearing part. While I generally agree to the point made, I think it is still a good idea to clean your bearing. Just relaxing and bearing that starts to make noises and throwing the old ones away is just so wasteful. It might be cheap, but you are also creating unnecessary waste. If you regularly clean your bearing before they start sizzling, you extend their lifetime lot and therefore produce less waste.
cleaning bearings is also a meditation)))
I grabbed railing on a downhill (wasn't ready for slopes at the time) because I panicked at the speed. I kinda hyperextend my thumb and banged up my back. Luckily, my pride took the most damage. Didn't touch slopes for a long time after that. I learned some stopping and speed control techniques and now I love that slope.
The ground is my friend. Brilliant. I will think that more now, because it’s true. I hit an unexpected downhill a couple of days ago and should have done the rockstar fall. But if I had practiced it before the session I wouldn’t have gotten the deep road rash on my hamstring and a hole in my pants. Oh by the way, could you make a video about what to do when facing a downhill on skates. I live in Southern California and there are little and big hills everywhere and from nowhere! I love Urban skating, so this now is a problem for me, and in my opinion is the enemy no 1 in general for skaters: unexpected downhill! 😮
I did the rockstar fall that day but still manage to scratch my shin
#1 hit close to home. I'm a product tester for Amazon and they have so many cheap skates most of which are adjustable but have an aluminum frame. I'm a quad skater and I know cheap skates are a bad idea but I absolutely used the free ones to get over the newbie hump. I noticed all your soft boot nonos the moment I put those suckers on 😂. My legs hurt for 2 days! I did recently test a few hard boots but again with the adjustable ever since then I've been looking for used blades I can tinker with and get to know for a while. This video was a plethora of information. I do not buy the 1euro bearings I invested in bones reds and I have learned what I like over time 😂😂 you weren't lying a bit.. the time, the effort, learning not to do too much or suffering from too little absolutely spot on info 😂😂 catch you next video ❤
Ah thank you so much for this comment!
Hi @lacyladi9951. I’m curious if you would share how do you become a product tester for Amazon and what exactly does that include? Thanks in advance
Totally agree on the bearings, historically there has been a lot of BS with bearings. Unless you're a competitive speed skater, expensive bearings are wasted on you, and you are wasting money for no benefit. Just replace, don't bother cleaning, don't bother getting expensive bearings. Get ILQ rated bearings from a reputable brand such as FR, Seba, TwinCam, Bones, Wicked etc.
Agree recreational skaters don’t need expensive bearings. I have a bearing shop near me that carries every bearing for just about every application and price. That’s where I get them.
Hey man, thanks for all the content, I appreciate your work.
But there was something weird with your audio on this one that made it really hard for me to just listen to what you're teaching.
Sounds like you're using 2 mics with one slightly delayed? I'm not entirely sure.
You may not even want the feedback, IDK
🤙🤜🤛
Hey, Thank you for the support!
There went something wrong with the export of the video, which is why there are 2 audio not syncing perfectly.
Thanks for keeping us sharp!
I cant express how grateful I am for your videos !! Big thanks from Mexico !!
Thank you Eric!
You're welcome from Mars!
One more thing to not do: go downhill when you're not ready for it. Learned that the hard way.
I used to do quad skating and I changed to inline recently and thought it would be easy.. it's quite different and difficult.. plus I got 110mm which is quite difficult for beginner plus I went and did it on a slope .. 😔😔😔🤭🤭🤭
@@tarzencheda7928 can imagine that's a challenge indeed! Hope you'll soon find your groove though!
@@tarzencheda7928I feel your pain, I committed the same sin. I have to change my mindset and relearn the basic.👌👌👌
Learned so much, thank you! As an American I love listening to your accent 😊
This was very enlightening
Is reaching for Hungarians also bad? Don´t have Poles around here
Baduum Tiss
Love the names of the falling techniques haha
I never really thought about falling much as I fell a lot when I was a kid so was kind of used to it. But now that I'm older I don't fall a lot but the times I fell, I really felt it. When I lose control again, I will try to remember to get close to the ground fast. Also the bearings, tried cleaning one and the end-result was a noisy bearing and a wheel that stopped immediatly after I spin it, while the "dirty" bearings were quiet and the wheel spinned for much longer - I presumably did it all wrong.
the ground really is your friend. sometimes the path is too narrow and steep for me to slow down, so I just get as low as I can and let myself lay down. a little scrape on the pants is much better than losing control at high speed
Thank you!
Im running K2 Uptown 2020s, they werent huge money but theyre great.
Thank you very much for this helpful tips!!! I´m sending you claps from Argentina!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
You're so welcome!
Hockey shin guards or baseball catchers shin guards have a big advantage over standard issue knee pads: they're made to take on and off without removing your skates. Plus, better protection.
Fijne video. Ik ben zeker geïnteresseerd in de lessen nu!
super Mellie! tot snel dan.
I'm literally watching this video, while I'm in the middle of cleaning my bearings for the very first time, thinking I was doing something good while I'm sick. However it's been a tedious and slow job and I don't feel much difference from before and after. So I guess that proves the point of cleaning them being pointless.
Nice video! Your English is really good btw
Thanks! 😃
Hello Ivo, great video as usual! Any recommendations on better quality skate between the Twister XT and the FR1. Both are in the 80 configuration. Beginner here, just need a quality,customizable boot I can rely on for a few years.
I got the Powerslide Next Pro 80. Also a great option.
I sometimes use a pair of Flying Eagle Falcon F6s, I think the frames and stock liners (which I replaced) are a little ugly, but they’re a great option for under $200 USD
I’m looking at the same two you mentioned too. I want to know the differences/ pros and cons so I can purchase one.
All these skates mentioned are in the same category, The biggest reason to get one or the other is because of the fit on your foot. The best way to know the fit is to take a trip to Amsterdam and come and try them out in the store. see you soon hopefully!
Bad surfaces: do not jump. Just put one skate in front of the other. That way you are stable, even at higher speeds.
for sure!
Hello ivo, im from indo, how much the price for RB pro X? I see in your store display on video
I got a new pair of FRX 80 the top strap has the hard boot plastic behind it with marks to cut off excess but im unsure how much to remove. I cant undo what i take off can you educate me. I live in a old little rv . I was gifted my skates. So i can't replace them .i can't even afford pads and ahelmet. Please educate me
I agree don't get cheap soft boots. Get expensive soft boots or a hard boot that has properties from a soft boot. K2 just came out with some har boots that I wanna get
the k2 hardboots still have way too much sideways flex unfortunately
@@Thisissoul I'm not too concerned with that. I've been on K2's forever. they work just fine for as long as I wear them tight
@@Thisissoul Also I have wide feet so I need the flexibility that k2 offers
Avoid unfamiliar areas you never visited and assume it's safe
I am very curious. What is your opinion on using aggressive skates with 80mm wheels as your primary recreation skate and also your skate park skate as well. Is dedicated boots made for recreation a better option than using our aggressive boot?
the basic differences are the overall sideways flex for these two types of categories. with 80mm skatepark use you need the sideways stiffness more then most aggressive skate boots can offer. There are exceptions though like some of the carbon skates or the RB Blank which will work great with bigger wheels
Love your videos, man! But, as @CrystalEYE commented, I do not agree that much with the bearing advice. Besides the unnecessary waste already pointed out, there are places, like my country (Brazil), where bearings are not that cheap. We have to invest a considerable amount of money even on basic ones. Think about it: a $1 bearing costs around 8 to 10 reais. It's almost 10 times the price you guys usually spend. So, it's not that obvious or simple to just discard and buy new ones regularly.
Fair enough! Then you will need to re lubricate them.
Also does the soft boot style discussed happen to affect the feel of the boot on the foot, say for the zetra blades? It also feels like my ankle is susceptible to injury based on how I have to balance myself!😂😂
with those skates like a zetra blade the whole skate is just too loose and you have no control
Why does the in-line feel so foreign to those who are used to quads? It feels painful like I’m tying to balance my foot on top of a log or a thin plank so it feels like a constant pressure in the center bottom of my foot? If you have a flat foot does that affect pain factor and is there a fix? Is there a simpler way to stop, like you would with a toe stop? I don’t get how the back break is supposed to help you. I’m new to them so please be kind! Lol
because most likely your skates are not supportive enough if you have that problem. more info about that here

I have a few pairs of bearings that are 20+ years old that spin better than anything made today BOSS speed bearings Ceramic

Salut
Quant quelqu'un parle de protection, il ne parle jamais du sac a dos. Je met un bon gros coton ouaté dans mon sac. Le sac a un bon support dorsal semis rigide.
J'ai fait 3 chutes épiques sur le dos, dont une complètement incontrôlé. Si se n'est des réflex acquis par la pratique du judo. Pas compliqué il suffit de frapper le sol avec les mains pour amortir la chute bien que avec le sac rembourré il suffit de simplement contrôler la chute pour atterrir sur le dos.
S'est l'équivalent d’atterrir sur un cousin. J'en suis toujours sorti mort de rire.
Cheap bearing are cheap. High quality bearings aren't cheap and are absolutely worth cleaning.
Did you ever work with tools as precise as .0001 Inch or something similar? I doubt so otherwise you wouldn't claim that a clean bearing will work as well as brand new one.
@@avandurionnick didn't claim that a cleaned set will work like new but that cleaning high quality bearings is worth the effort. I would completely agree. A set of quality bearings will last longer, perform better, and if you decide to clean them will still be better than new low quality cheap bearings.
And not that it matters much in this conversation but yes, i have worked with manufacturing high precision parts.
Hij zegt niet dat je ze niet moet schoonmaken, maar dat je het in de meeste gevallen beter kunt uitbesteden.
Cheap soft boots. #amen
those are the worst!
the main question that torments the minds of an entire generation is: what kind of lubricant should I use for the bearing? ))))
none. You should just replace bearings when they wear out.
@@Thisissoul there was a bit of irony in my question))) but I like to experiment with different lubricants))
I disagree when it comes to cleaning bearings. I always try to get at least a few cleans out of bearings before I replace them - feels less wasteful. Forking out 16+ euro every time I get bearings wet or dirty would quickly become an expensive habit here in Ireland.
You don't replace all the bearings at once, just the faulty one when it fails or sounds close to failing. I pack all my bearings with marine grease from new so they're good for all weather skating and haven't replaced any in years.
Step one: stop being poor. Wow super helpful!
If this doesnt motivTe you to not be poor then what does!
The ground is your friend. Especially when there's a pile of dog sh*t lying where you crash.
Really? in amsterdam at least the dog shit is on the grass next to the road but not on the asphalt or sidewalk.
