I Was Wrong About Endless 90 Frames 3x110 Setup - Inline Skating
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- This inline skating video covers my thoughts on my favorite frames: the Endless 90. The Endless 90 frames have multiple configurations on a single frame: 4x90 rockered and 3x110 flat. I skated (and loved) the 4x90 rockered configuration for 14 months before trying the 3x110 because I didn't think I'd like the long, flat setup. It turns out I was wrong and I do enjoy this setup! It's not my favorite configuration, but it is one I regularly skate.
I especially appreciate the ease of switching between the configurations as someone who skates both suburban and city skating. I still love my 4x90 in pretty much any conditions, but it's nice to have a bigger wheeled setup for cruising the suburbs as well.

Just discovered your channel. Been skating for just a couple of years. I love the flow videos with your narration. Learning a lot.
I swap between the 4x90 and 3x110 very often on my Endless Frame. It's crazy how it fits two unique setups in one, because I skate the triskate setup completely different from the other.
Hi ! Glad to see you’re back on the road in good shape ! 👍💪Take care and thank you for sharing your skill on the 3x110 setup. ⚪⚪⚪The transition back is as smooth as on the 4x90 ! Really great !👌👏
Thanks for trying the 3x110 setup and for supporting Endless! You made my day. It sounds like you totally “get it”. I’ve been slowly receiving more and more reports from other Endless owners who have decided to see what the triskate setup is all about. Lots of “why didn’t I try this sooner??”. 😊 I probably skate the 3x110 setup on my Endless 90 ES about 50% of the time. For all the reasons you mentioned, it’s a ton of fun. Even though a lot of skating content on the internet is focused on tricks and skills these days, some of us are simply happy to get outside and get some good exercise in the sunshine.
Yeah, I’d imagine the majority of your customers are buying them for the rockered setup. And since rockered and flat are night-and-day, it doesn’t surprise me others have the same mindset going into it. But hey, lesson learned. It’s funny: at work I get annoyed when folks are hesitant to try something new. I always say “just be careful. You might learn something”. Yet, I slept on this setup for over a year! Looking forward to those Arc frames and thanks for stopping by!
@@rerollinginline There's just something about that 3x110 setup on the Endless 90 that doesn't feel like any other tristate. It's hard to communicate that, but once someone experiences it, most people tend to understand. Thanks again for all the great content. Arc is nearly ready...
What about A hardness how do you know what’s best ?
Man, you just inspired me to use the 3x110 on my next session. I also roll with the 4x90 and tried the 3x110 just a couple times, but I never actually got to get used to the experience. Thanks for the vid, and great to see you back on wheels.
Great to see you back.Hopefully you're fully recovered from injury. Watching you blade backwards at high speeds and transition to forward is crazy. Received my Endless 90 just weeks ago and are super fun. Cheers.
Thanks! Not fully recovered quite yet, but I’m doing well. My last update with the doctors went well and it feels better every day. Glad to hear you like your Endless 90s!
@@rerollinginline That's great to hear. Wishing you a speedy, full recovery.
Your skating and the surroundings are really so pleasing to watch. Broke my arm wrist on a slippery tiles,( missing skating much 😔
P.S.: Damn Philadelphia is so beautiful 😍
You make 3WD 276mm skating look flawless man. Totally agree with the locked in feel at high speeds.. it's amazing. Have the same feel on my Maxxum Edge 125s. Another great, with great insights!
Thanks! Yeah 3x125 is something else I want to/will try. At this point, there isn’t a setup I don’t want to try, lol.
Woo Hoo! Awesome video! Great Skating Bro. I love skating office parks myself they go on for ever. I just looked down at my skates and almost started crying lol. Hope you're feeling better.
Thanks! Yeah the office parks can be great playgrounds on weekends when they’re empty.
I've been using this same frame since July 22 but only with the 4x90. Good to know that the 3x110 is also great and this video for sure is encouraging me to try as well. Unfortunately my neighborhood isn't so beautiful and inviting like yours.
thanks for the upload. You have a wonderful place to skate! I have a flat, long, marathon set-up and a rockered set-up..... They are very different but I enjoy both!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I’ve got some good areas near but to stretch my legs out. I’d definitely try a marathon setup on some trails?
Nice edit and I can relate. Travel to cities and trails for adventure and video, but love my suburban out-the-door skate for convenience, familiarity and great workouts on 125s.
3x110 is magical. That speed can't be beat.
Easily by 3x125
3x125 will beat it and also pretty much any longer frame since a longer frame allows for a longer push and, in my experience, more speed.
Thanks for coming back !
Thanks for the support 🙏
That was dope man! Some serious speed on those downhills haha got me a bit anxious. Its a rush though , sometimes im going so fast in shorts and a t shirt and i think shit if i mess up now its gonna be real bad. So far ive gotten away with everything also because of your soul slide tutorials , ive been putting in a lot of hours and now im very comfy slowing myself down with that slide even from high speeds.
Thanks, love hearing that you’re using the sound slide!
shorts and t shirt are ok if the protectors are not missing
It's great to see you inlineskate again
I got my endless 90s and I love them so much I'm trying to find every excuse to get another one - can't wait to try 3x110 on my longer trail rides
Last week on reddit I purchased a used set of Endless 100/110 frames that came with NN Sumo 110mm wheels. I have gone on a single 17.5 mile trail skate and like them but it will be awhile before I get used to them especially since I don't use these in my daily / hilly skate. For the first mile it was a bit awkward with the longer frames / larger wheels. I almost tripped a few times but after I adjusted my feet it was all good. It wasn't the best test day being that we had a 20+ MPH wind from the west to east and the trail runs pretty much the same way.
Glad to see you agian! Hope you are doing well.
Thanks, I am doing well. Hope you are too!
Wow how many endless frames do you have? You must be rich. ❤
All those routes you skated looks silky smooth.
I’m not skilled enough to skate in center city, but I have been skating in the suburbs quiet streets and trails.
Parking lots are great too, but a lot of parking lots I’ve got some many cracks!
Love your content. Keep it up man. ❤
Great cruiser setup for fitness! Light weight and long.
Definitely! It’s opened my eyes to the fun to be had doing that style of skating.
Plymouth has some great smooth roads for skating. I thought that industrial park looked familiar! I know that old Core Dial parking long anywhere!
Now I wanna try this setup
It's good that you gave your opinion on this. I expected you to like the 3x110 setup.
I find the difference between 4x90 (in my case flat) and 3x110 (in my case only 255mm length) to be marginal in terms of speed and I would even prefer 4x90 flat for the trails you have skated here due to the lower standing height especially if it's Trinity mounting.
I’d like to try a trinity mount setup at some point! Yeah, I should have tried the triskate setup sooner. The fact that one setup is flat and the other is rockered definitely make them feel completely different. Truly two setups in one frame.
If you ever get a chance to try a longer triskate frame (> 270 mm) I highly recommend it. It gives you more to push against and also more stability once you achieve some speed. Is it a Rollerblade 255 mm 3x110 you have?
Very informative!!
I also never bothered to try the 3x110 on this because the 4x90 is so much fun until now, holy shit does it feel so much faster and more stable compared to my short frame 3x110 setup. I am hooked on the speed now!
time for 3x125 hehe
I love my 5 x 90 setup but yah I agree bigger wheels turn slightly slower less drag I think makes for faster speed 4 x 110 is probably best but whatever is most comfortable for you
Thanks man. You have a Good stile tacneec.. Good Soul Slide. Magic Slide. Relly i engoy it.👍😉
I cut my teeth on RB Slalomblades back in the early 90's. Used to do 100+ miles per day! Chicago used to be a great place for it.
Try rearview glasses. They help a lot.
Love your videos!! Is there a shop in/near Philly that you frequent for your gear or do you generally buy most of your stuff online?
4x110 might be even more fun! Have you ever tried speed skates? Great footage again!
It might be! I’ve never tried speed skates, but I’d be open to trying. These 3x110 have opened my eyes to the joy in that style of skating.
Nice buddy
Great video, Are you planning to get the UFS Advanced 2x100 + 3x80/84 someday, or do you already have it? It's really beautiful, I think the next year I'll get it
Would you use this tri skate set up in tbe city? I was thinking of getting this frame for the versatility, but the tri skate set up looks really long.
How much stable difference you feel with that frame 3x110 vs 4x100?
I switched from 4*80 to 3*110. If you need to ride with the wind, then 110mm is my choice! they're great for freeskating around city, I think.
I just put 20 miles on my 110 setup on Sunday! I am curious about a shorter 110 triskate setup, as well as a 3x125. Maybe this summer I'll try them.
110x3 what is the density of the wheels 84A or more
Can you swap the wheels out on the endless 90es ? I’m about to buy that frame for my rb110 skates
You should skate on Lauren hill , that will be a cool suburban skate to show 😁
Is that near Fairmount? I’ll look into it… I go through Fairmount sometimes in my car and see all the hills and always wonder what it’s like to skate.
Do you have a way to measure your speed during your skating? It would be really cool to see the speed you're at in each moment!
You’ve mentioned rotating your wheels every couple sessions, I’m fairly new to skating so was wondering if there’s some superior rotation pattern you use?
I know Polly did a video about this exact thing.
It seems like everyone rides fr skates. Any opinions about fr vs twister xt? I might be in the market here and unfortunately I cant try anything on in my area
3x110s for life! still prefer a tighter wheel base with the wheels closer so you can hit tighter turns on a while still maintain stability. im shorter though. have you tried the 3x125s yet???
I like the speed, but braking is a lot less with 3x110 for obvious reasons. But man so stable + small objects and cracks in the road are no issue anymore vs the 4x80.
have you tried a 3X125 setup on fr sl boot?
If i skate on the road i skate the other lane so I can see a car coming in front and if I see a car I just move to the other side of course I make sure no car is there too, ooor use the side walk. Nice video as always, 3 months since I've skated I think, I miss it. Too bad I pulled my groin muscles at summer time so It rly screwed the skating experience, It's autumn now I could still skate and this video inspires me to go back at it while I have time lol
Do you GPS track your rides? Curious what kind of speeds you're doing, it looks quick.
I've recently bought these frames and have been practicing descending using carving turns, since I'm surrounded by hills. I'm getting better at inducing some slide on my turns so I can link them and get down most stuff safely. But upon trying 3x100....I felt totally lost and unable to turn the skates around to achieve slower sliding turns...I guess the rocker makes all the difference. Am I the only one?
The difference between the 4x90 rockered and 3x110 flat on these frames is night-and-day. And yes, the 4x90 rocker turns fare more effortlessly.
But with time, you’ll be able to get used to it. You don’t have to like the 3x110 setup either. I like them both at different times. The variety is nice.
May I ask what bearings you use for this set up?
I use my 3x110 On the Schuylkill river trail you should give that a try
Hi! Please record a tutorial on how to brake on 3 wheels. At 4x80 I had to brake well. However, on 3x110 braking is a nightmare. Especially at high speed on narrow slope paths. When I'm going for the part downhill on 3x110, just decelerating or reducing speed to a safe level sometimes seems impossible to me.
It's literally the same technique, if u don't get it.... Just practice more
I honestly didn’t give much thought to breaking in 3x110 vs 4x80/4x90. It’s all the same techniques. I wouldn’t be surprised if some amount of the challenge is a mental block because you know it’s a different setup. Is there a specific problem you’re running into?
With 3 wheels vs 4, you have fewer contact points with the ground braking, and will need to put more downforce for the same braking effect.
On skinny trails, lanes, and sidewalks downhill, if the slope/speed/stopping distance combination is too demanding for a T-drag/stop, I usually rely on soul slide. This is the one forward braking stop that I can turn off mid brake if a complete stop is not necessary, or if the sliding edge catches in a bad way.
If the Soul is not stopping fast enough (usually wet or slimy pavement), I can always full commit the rear wheel to a magic slide. But since some of my magic slides still drift left, I prefer not to do this in tight "lanes".
Try the 4x110 or the 3x125. Also try some Cado Motus or Powerslide frames. You will get much more speed.
3x110 great!!! :D
watching this makes me want to skate xD
40YO man getting a rant on, so please bear with me, and share your feelings.
with longer breaks, i went from mid 90s 55mm aggro skates and vert skating, (TG pro model, aka the ugliest skate ever, comfy AF), over variations of floppy, speedy 2000s 4x80mm softboots, to powerslide core next (3x) 100 recently in my late 30s, and i found my new home! sturdy as old stunt skates, despite wheels that make them as fast as a bike
that trinity 3x100mm frame is short (no fear of wheel bite!!!), low and stable, an the laced hard boots provide great control and enough flex. and once the hard stock wheels break in to a bit of natural rocker, they get more spinny and slidy, and stupidly fun. (put on hyper 78A speed wheels for a more tame, quiet and smooth ride, if you just wanna cruise)
there are better blades out there, if you need them, but those just absolutely hit the spot for me.
Do the bigger wheels roll over stones and debris better than 80mm wheels. Cheers.
yes
Great Info (I'm down $750 today... LOL!!)
What 110mm wheels are you using ?
Hydrogen wheels r nice llq 9 bearings not cheap but
What is the advantage of the endless 90 over the standard 3x110 frame that comes on the FR1 310?
“Advantage” will always be subjective with this sort of thing. But it looks like the stock FR1 310 frame wheelbase is 230mm. These Endless 90 wheelbase are 276mm. That’s a pretty significant difference and the shorter the wheelbase is, the more agile they’ll be. So the stock FR frame will be more nimble, but less stable. Of course the Endless 90 are nice because you get 4x90 rockered and 3x110 flat, which feel totally different. I bought them for the 4x90 primarily. I’d love yo try 3x110 in a shorter wheelbase to see what they feel like though. Unfortunately, it’s trial and error for what you’ll like best personally.
The FR 310 frame (230 mm) was actually part of the inspiration for the original Endless 90 design. I had a size 42 FR1 with that frame and while I loved the speed of 3x110, the short wheelbase felt unstable to me and made me feel extra cautious at high speed. On top of that the frame design transferred a lot of shock from bumps in the road into my feet. So I wanted to create a triskate experience that was not only fast, but also very stable especially at speed. And I wanted it to feel really comfortable…like I had mini freight trains on my feet that would carry momentum well when cruising and would dampen vibrations a bit.
I put Rollerblade 3wd frames under my FR3. 255mm wheelbase was the right compromise for me.
So far nobody has tried assaulting me with a baguette....
@@endlessblading I have shoe size 43 and Mondopoint 280. I rode the Endless 80/84/100 frame for 2 years. A great frame that is longer (255mm) and faster than a normal 4x80 frame with a length of 243mm. And it is just as maneuverable. Not really suitable for slalom, but there are special frames for that. However, the 3x100 option is so lively with the right wheels and bearings that you have to experience it to be believed. I use Wicked Abec 9 bearings and Powerslide Graphix LED wheels 85A. These wheels feel harder and faster than the Powerslide Spinner 88A.
For freeskate is better a flat setup or a rockered setup?
I think that’s always going to be a matter of opinion. If I were skating flat for city skating, I’d probably want 4x80 to get a shorter wheelbase and a closer to the ground feel. 4x90 rockered is kinda perfect for me. A little longer for more stability, but still rockered and so you get a lot of agility still. But everyone is different. I believe Bill Stoppard prefers 4x84 flat, for example (don’t quote me on that)
You could place a small bike mirror on your selfie stick so you don't have to turn around to look for cars.
What's your favorite set up
Why havn't i seen rollerskates, made for goin fast, with only 2 wheels each?
Can you rocker the 3x110 with a special axle?
no
@@pit9623 Sadge.
@@Drunken_Hamster The 90 LS rail has an enhanced flat setup. That should be a slight rocker. I don't know exactly what they mean by that. But then you can't use 110 wheels. Personally, I think a 110 setup is too heavy.
On the contrary, I do like seeing flat road skating lol
Haha well everyone is different, to each their own! One of the nice things about inline skating is the many different ways it can be enjoyed.
Notice how he hangs his arm behind him to balance while looking backwards
3x80 is the future
The speed is incredible! You think you could get a GPS tracker to track your speed in real time? I'm sure you were hitting ~40-50kph in some of these sections. Also, surprised not to see any nasty road rash on your legs. Ever fallen at those speeds before?
Dude has to be rolling at least 40 mph I can't believe it
Fain
Come back to us :’(
I think I just stayed in that Marriott lol
"as you can see here" - instantly turns around and shows his butt :D
Note for newbies: never start with big wheels, only 80mm. Otherwise you will face a bicycle speeds, but with no brakes, that is scary and dangerous.
I'm sure a beginner won't get anywhere near that speed. But you're right. 4x 80 is perfect for beginners if they don't have the money for Endless 80/84/100 frames. For shoe sizes Euro 44 and above, I would even recommend the Endless LR90 frame
@@pit9623 I mean MTB bike speed.
Why not a 3x110 speed frame that costs even less ??? 🤔
better not. The Endless Frame is worth the Price.
ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ 🌟
Except he's probably an Eagles fan 😢 😅
Seems to be too long - That might be difficult to tight turn
no, the length is perfect unless you have shoe size 40 or smaller
I used to skate everyday from age 6 to age 18... now i can't even stand for more than 10 minutes without having to sit down. Take care of your spine. 😔
6:27 you have to aplologize for being an human ?
i think if drivers see us(civilized rollerbladers) more they dont make a fuss about rules or inconveniences.
if a car woul stand on the side of the road noone would freak out i seen it on so many 2 lane roads slowing down 6 cars and nobody honked
the worst thing i can do when car is behind and 2 are approaching is try to acomodate them 100 % . if i dont notice something they are safe i can break an bone .
ive done it 60 times tried to accommodate 2 drivers by caring less then 20 % about me and doing hasty thinking.
why should i injure miself of my own accord ? id say take time to asess the situation then signal the step you are taking
4×125 mm ceramic ballistics good than more gentleman if you want faraway with out faster and not tiring.
Shouldn´t you wear knees, elbow and hands protections? .. Iknow yu are a great skater and almost never falls down, but if you do, you will get hurt.. Protection is not important to you?.
If he falls it will hurt a lot, even if it is just a small fall. Always wear protectors.
