Hi, thanks for the honest review. I have the same skate. I would suggest using a shoe dryer to get ride of your sweat inside the liner. It's a game changer for me. I skate regularly, once or twice per week, but my liners don't smell bad, even after more than one year of use.
Thanks for that, it made it clear for me that my oxelo mf500 boot is way cheaper, robust and performing than XT on my endless 90. I have taken out XT from my buy list and will focus in CJ2 prime
Two years ago at the same time I bought a camera, I bought a lavalier mic and recorder. I am just lazy. I do appreciate the input, maybe I’ll put some more effort into this stuff. Hope it was still helpful for you.
Finally a serious not sponsored review ! Thx for that! I’m just considering buying a new skates, those are right now on sale in a skate shop close by, I’m also thinking about buying twisters on the 110 wheel I sow on you new wideos that you are skating with those with bigger wheel. I’m 2m high used to play hockey in the past so I can skate quiet solid- usually im skating thru the city or next to the sea not doing a lot of crazy jumps and evolutions- which weelsize would you recommend ?
80s can do anything like tricks, speed, commute. 110s are better for speed and cruising, less versatile for tricks. I enjoy they require less maintenance (12 bearings instead of 16) and the bearings are better protected against dirt or moisture since they are taller.
Where you see the scratches or hear squeaking, a small amount of wax should mitigate further problems; just make sure to not add too much or anything liquid.
@@seriouslyreallyserious Thx for the tips! I think it'll disappear it's just because it's a new liner had the same things in my powerslide but i 'll use it if the problem persist ;)
How much the liner became loose over time, I mean if your foot is very loose due to the loss of density of the foam. Do you recommend buying a size smaller than usual?
Most of the padding is in the ankle area; I believe because it does not stay compressed for long, it has maintained most of its loft/thickness. I do not think sizing down is a good idea as these are somewhat slim already, your foot may start to cramp. In actuality I have recently found the boot may be too short. If you find a boot is too loose, consider using padded socks or an indoor to adjust fit. These come with a footbed insert which reduces internal volume (I.e. tighter fit). Another option is to use padded socks, though I prefer I unpadded myself.
I see you went to town with them doing crazy tricks, ledges maybe even? Mines look almost as new after a year. I only do slalom / wizard / figure / hockey drills with rockered frames. Do you live near the ocean also? Mines aren't rusted at all.
Not too many tricks, plenty of falls and scrapes. Though the occasional jump and spins do put some wear on them. I do live near the coast, however I would blame the humidity and the amount my feet sweat as the main mechanism. Taking the liner out form the boot after a session is the best strategy.
@@seriouslyreallyserious Thank you for the extra details. Yeah, near the ocean, I mean those inlets and rivets are probably made out of tin so they would rust quite fast. Humidity near the coast is also much higher than where I live here in central EU. It can be real cold and dry, as low as 20% and mostly 30% and occasional 50% or 60% in some rainy days in summer. I'm still careful not to leave anything inside after a session. If I leave a pair of gloves or booties it will be game over in terms of smell lol. I used mines on the ice the whole winter with some "Transformer freestyle ice blades". Absolutely loved them.
@@seriouslyreallyserious Yeah those are blades you can use on inline skates. So far I didn't find anything you cannot do compared to normal hockey skates. Perhaps you can lean more on hockey skates but I never needed to go that far.
I skate with it pretty much everyday. If you are an urban skater, it should suit you well. With that said, once you get it, try them on with the socks you skate with, on carpet, after running in place for two minutes. That will tell you if they fit comfortably. If they fit, then you are good. Let me know if you need any further help. Skate on!
I measure my foot at about 27.8cm. Wearing a US 9/9.5 seems to work pretty well. One note of concern are the socks one wears; thick socks will use more internal volume than thin socks. I personally use a thin, bottom cushioned sock. I can wear thick all around cushioned socks okay, however it is a little cramped.
Crossfires have a slimmer fit in the foot, less ankle support, and a rockered wheel setup better suited for slalom. I have not tried them personally, but the few folks I know with them say they are good. If you are into tricks, get the Crossfires. Otherwise, the Twisters, or RB Pro X will suit you well.
I would say they lend to the narrower side. Try the RB Pro X or Lightning, those should be wider. Flat feet should work in any boot, though mind the cushioning.
I just got mine, I have pretty wide feet (at least when I need regular shoes), and tbh, I feel they feel little bit to wide (they touch my feet on both sides, but I don't feel enough support - I mean maybe I'm complaining about nothing as I had looooooong break from rollers, so maybe after some time I will think they are perfect:) but now, I feel the pressure on sides is to little (like i would prefer a bit more support,) however my feet don't move to sides, I can easily do anything I can on ice skates (easy slaloms etc). That being said, I think they might be pretty nice for a wide feet:) - plus if they would feel just a bit to narrow, the inside liner will probably adjust to your feet after 10-30 km of riding:))

Skate on!
@@seriouslyreallyserious U 2 mate cheers
just a tip: either record voice separately at home for no noise or u can record voice as u make the video but get better mic for noise

Real review, thanks mate
Thank you!

For you I would go 110.
Just bought it same size Love them first use no pain! Just scritch sound from the brand new liner :)

Is that a ice skate conversion? That sounds pretty cool.
@@seriouslyreallyserious Yeah those are blades you can use on inline skates. So far I didn't find anything you cannot do compared to normal hockey skates. Perhaps you can lean more on hockey skates but I never needed to go that far.
Do You think buying XT is worth it?? I recently bought it and saw your video after that.

@@seriouslyreallyserious ty very much!
What type of wheels do you have? I like that short fat wheel
Here I am using 80mm Hydrogen wheels. They are a bit worn down here, around 75mm or so.
Just ordered them ,have today or tomorrow, I got the 8-8.5 & not sure if I shoulda got ur size,what CM is ur foot ?
I measure my foot at about 27.8cm. Wearing a US 9/9.5 seems to work pretty well. One note of concern are the socks one wears; thick socks will use more internal volume than thin socks.

@@seriouslyreallyserious Thanx,I got them on now,snug but I think theyll break in good
Would you say this is a more comfortable boot than the FR1?
I have both the FR1 and the twister. I would say they are both comfortable with the FR1 having a bit more room if you have a wider foot@@RayRayNYC
Hi,
which Rollerblade among these 2 would you recommend? Crossfire or Twister XT...thanks
Crossfires have a slimmer fit in the foot, less ankle support, and a rockered wheel setup better suited for slalom. I have not tried them personally, but the few folks I know with them say they are good. If you are into tricks, get the Crossfires. Otherwise, the Twisters, or RB Pro X will suit you well.
@@seriouslyreallyserious...thank you so much.
Is this skate good for wide feet? I have flat feet too
I would say they lend to the narrower side. Try the RB Pro X or Lightning, those should be wider. Flat feet should work in any boot, though mind the cushioning.
I just got mine, I have pretty wide feet (at least when I need regular shoes), and tbh, I feel they feel little bit to wide (they touch my feet on both sides, but I don't feel enough support - I mean maybe I'm complaining about nothing as I had looooooong break from rollers, so maybe after some time I will think they are perfect:) but now, I feel the pressure on sides is to little (like i would prefer a bit more support,) however my feet don't move to sides, I can easily do anything I can on ice skates (easy slaloms etc).
