r/rollerblading

Hi all,

Glad to see this great forum back! :)

New Hardcore Evo 110s just arrived, and so far they fit like a glove, though there is some pressure on the right medial malleolus. Hopefully they get a little more comfortable as they break in.

One thing I noticed right away is that both latches feel pretty flimsy compared to the ones on my FR1s. The Evo straps are really skinny, and it feels harder to get a tight fit. The FR1 straps are much chunkier and easy to really crank down if needed.

For anyone who has owned the Evos for a while, how have the latches/straps held up over time, and do they get easier to tighten with use?

I’m also somewhat interested in the Twister XT/90s, mainly because so many people seem to say they’re extremely comfortable right out of the box. Honestly, that sounds almost too good to be true. I’m not a huge fan of the Rollerblade brand, though, so I’m a little skeptical. I realize the two skates are in different categories, but I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has skated both and can compare the fit and overall feel.

Thanks

reupload because capcut added some stupid ai bs to framerate lol

Used to skate when I was a teen. Decided to pick it up again. Got out my new skates a second time, slipped backwards and fell on my outstretched hand. Broke the head of my radius 😒

Having some fun in Philadelphia doing some hill bombing with the Philly Landskaters.

We are a skating family. We met at a rink, our 3, 5, and 21 year old girls skate. But when it's nice out, we like to be out on inlines! The girls do outdoor bingo, watch for wildlife, and get out to skate themselves. And we get a great workout! 10-12 miles in town, because we're in VA, and.....HILLS. And around 26 on rail trails. This video was on the Western Maryland Rail Trail. Deeply wish this was more popular with families so we could have a bigger crew to skate with.

Hello. Just wanted to post a bit of hopecore for everyone who returns to rollerblading after a long period of time. I gave up rollerblading in 2022 and came back one month ago after finally graduating from uni. Now I rollerblade as well as I did in the past, and I have even learned some new tricks lol. Just had to put a lot of effort and never-ending passion towards the sport (personally recommend listening to music, never failed me). Now I know there are things stronger than time - passion, talent and hard work. Enjoy the blades, everyone; love ya!

Thank you r/rollerblading! A lot of great comments on my last post for suggested skates for beginners. I ended up getting Zetrablades from Dicks. I’ve skateboarded for a little over 10 years and have had a blast learning 180’s on a different type of wheels. Excited to continue this journey and progress :)

After many many rotations think it was finally time to replace the original wheels on my RB Pro X's

First hardboots! Felt really nice compared to my cheap soft fitness boot.
But.. turned it was rockered from the beginning, that was really odd and hard once I tried skating normally lol. Was wayyy to agile for me. My fitness skates was 84mm and a long wheelbase, to these Shrike Pro 76mm with a much shorter wheelbase and rockered lol.. Its only my 5th day skating, so hoping for rapid improvement! Starting with flat for sure :-) ..

Was able to do T-stop and a semi soul slide indoors lol, on asphalt/tarmac however it was a lot harder. Got some nice scratches already..

Added some old wheels on my skates to rocker them and felt so smooth the whole session!

It's still all 4×80 but the older wheels are smaller from more wear
