      You know what, even that's not a gaurantee though. Kinda unrelated but case in point scenario: I bought a toddler mattress on Amazon for my little grommet (kid). It had 4.5 star reviews and thousands of purchases. The price was low and on sale, it was certified JPMA (juvenile product manufacturers association) compliant. It even had the tag sewn right into the seam when it arrived, brand new. Well. That same seam developed a tiny rip after about a month. My daughter got her curious little fingers in there and easily shredded a huge hole in the cover, pulled out the stuffing, and exposed the metal springs. I could have returned it, but paying for packaging made it not worthwhile. When I went back and actually read the reviews, I saw my experience was not unique and the 4/5 star ratings were coming from people who used them for their DOGS! 😳🤦🏽‍♀️
      So anyways. Lots of long comments from me today...sorry. Just...yeah. You never know. Checking genuine reviews that closely match your intended use will always be the safest bet to make an educated decision.

    • @StormWalden
      @StormWalden 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      There are regulations/standards that cover quad skates, in the form of CEN EN 13899 (while inline skates are separately covered under DIN EN 13843). For Class A skates (adult skates), they are to be designed and built to accommodate a user with a body mass up to 100kg (~221lbs), while Class B skates (children's skates) are to be designed and built to accommodate a user with a body mass up to 60kg (~132lbs). At the 7:27 mark, we can see that the label on the tongue indicates that these YRU skates are supposedly compliant with the EN 13899 Class A standards, though the degree to which they deform under relatively gentle skating would seem to suggest otherwise.

    Indy makes an important point: wheels should be the only part of a skate that makes it better for indoors or outdoor skating! I use a soft big wheel (78A) outdoors and then swap 'em out with a harder set of wheels for my local roller rink (98A). Don't need two totally separate pairs if you have reliable trucks :D

    • @LynleyCat
      @LynleyCat 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think i need to rewatch the video on this part of Indoor vs outdoor setups. I originally thought im getting this one perfect setup w wheel swaps not wasting money but…
      I couldnt find that perfect combo boot & ended up w two & really tweaked them for trail vs dance (good surface) over time much more than wheels. But basic cruising i think your fine w one set of hybrids to start lol
      For my Trail:
      more ankle support, sizeable stops, firmer top cushions no speed wobbles hills, 78A trail wheels
      VS
      Dancing/good surface:
      Softest cushions, jam plugs/dance stops, ultra flex boot, hybrid- indoor duro small wheels
      But its truely still doable even for me rn, i could drop stops, change wheels as needed & get a medium boot w softer cushions & loosen trucks & lace halfway to change up ive seen some ppl do in one pair! But once your a lil spoiled its more than wheels if you get into niches
      So i think in beggining its nice idea, & moreso i encourage like i said just get hybrid 62mm 82A wheels dont even swap till u get niches & advance lol ;))

(did anyone else get monster high skates as a kid?? the aesthetic was on point) I stopped skating for a few years and recently got a pair of impalas since they seemed decent quality for the price and there was no point spending $400 on skates if I didn't like skating any more (thankfully skating is still one of the best things on the planet).

    I'm an avid skater and I work in the bicycle industry. It's the same story I tell folks every day. Wal-mart sells toy bikes. The industry is really wasteful when you think about all the work it takes to make cheap products that get thrown away after a few uses because they are not made to last. You get what you pay for, and if you want to support more crappy stuff getting made, by all means, purchase your outdoor gear on fast fashion websites and Wal-mart. Otherwise, support your local shop and technicians, and get informed on what you are paying for.

    I hate when companies produce inferior products such as these roller skates. If the skates don't work well then it will give someone a bad impression of rollerskating and they will never do it again. If they have great skates then it may inspire them to learn more and more. What's even worse is that junk brands charges premium prices sometimes so you can't even gauge the quality by a price point.

    I have a pair of YRU skates that are Care Bears and my skates are NOTHING like yours. Mine have metal trucks, etc - and they are not all uniform in color on the bottom. I don’t think they sell those anymore or make them anymore like what you have: they have no skates listed with plastic trucks - only metal. I absolutely love my skates - they are so well made and the most comfortable skate I’ve ever worn. I don’t think the YRU skates are crap anymore … or they changed how they are made here in 2022 and stopped making plastic trucks etc. I normally don’t leave comments, but my skates are great and nothing like yours. I would be so pissed if they were plastic trucks etc. I am a skateboarder and I’ve always stayed away from Roller Skating because my feet always hurt so badly in all the ones I have ever used… except in the YRU Care Bears I own 🤷🏻‍♀️.

    Thanks for your review. I recently bought some skates distributed by Dolls Kill but the skate company name was comic. I am fairly newly returning to skating full time again after many years and my spec awareness and personal requirements have definitely changed. I’m thinking to do a review on the pair I got.
    Btw can you please tell me what the hand held filming taste it that you are using? I see many skaters use this but I don’t know what it is.

    A good pair that's not as expensive as the Moxi are the Jackson Vista Vipers!! I absolutely LOVE THEM!!! You can find them for around $200 - $250.
    I am a 260lb female and they take me jumping and doing crazy stuff really well. I even used them when I got up to 280 during the Pandemic so if you're a plus size person they are amazing. They are also really comfy and all I did was change the wheels just to make them gummier for asphalt since I'm an outdoor skater. They are AMAZING!!! You can get them with aluminum plates but mine are Nylon and hold my weight perfectly.

    I learned to backwards skate with metal wheels in my neighbor's driveway with no stoppers or head gear, elbow padding, knee pads or helmet!! Lol. Good times. Of course tjis was back in the mid 70's. I eventually became an excellent skater & took my skating gear up to the Riedel speed skates.

    COVID is the reason non-legit companies are able to produce and sale skates. Legit companies are totally inundated, causing back orders so parasites are stepping in, filling in the gap.

      Of course you can, I was thinking the same thing. Bare in mind that, in that case, you'll have expensive skates which will be quality wise still 'meh', since I can't imagine the boot being super decent. Kinda depends on what kind of skating you want to do, I guess. I wouldn't take them to the park unless you have excellent insurance, full gear with mouth guard and an unhealthy disregard for bodily functions. At each skater's discretion, naturally. Freedom, happiness.😁💖

I have not roller skated since the 1970's but am re-learning to skate in these skates. I notice they have a lot of the same thing you are talking about; The truck and plate are poly something (not metal). I've been skating in my house to learn again and they seem fine for that. I don't like the synthetic boot. But I figure they will be okay for me to relearn. And I didn't buy them! Going to stay on a rink for a while since I'm almost 64 but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I will upgrade my skates. Curious about these Xudrez.

She ended up falling forward and sustaining trauma to both her front teeth, one of them chip off halfway and the other one came out completely. Now we have keep going to different specialist such as endodontist and pedodonist to preserve the front teeth to ensure they both stay in place. I'm going to continue to watch your videos because she does not want to give up on skating but with the right kind of skates that is safe and appropriate and also wear mouth guard because of incurring such trauma to the teeth.
