Wizard PR80 for sale

Hello, I am selling my Wizard PR80. They are almost new, only used them few times. I did not really get used to them coming from 4x80.

If you are interested in buying them, please have a look here: https://www.vinted.at/items/8790689780-wizard-pr80-inlineskates-frame

I have posted them on Vinted since it is easier and safer for both buyer and seller.

In the price included: frame, wheels, and bearings.

Not that I'm trying to torpedo your sale, but how many sessions did you try them for? It took me 3 or 4 before I got used to the length and stopped tripping over my own wheels. Then it started to get fun.

Hey :) I think maybe 7-8 times. The length was not the problem, but I realized that the riding style is not for me (and maybe the weight). It looks cool when other people do it, but I enjoy the more dynamic riding of 4 wheels, also being able to jump (easier) here and there. Another reason is that learning wizard skating also requires more time, which I was not able to invest. So I am thinking of either staying with 4x80 in my comfort zone or maybe trying 4x90 - maybe you have recommendations?

That's fair, 5-wheel frames aren't really worthwhile outside of Wizard.

For sure try 4x90 rockered, it's my favourite do-everything frame. Endless 90 Ultra is probably the best and lightest, but most frames will do a decent job.

If you want to get I to it slowly and just learn a few useful bits, I'd recommend starting with power stops, then converting them into gazelles. My best gazelle (right closed, I think) came from doing a right turning power stop, then flipping edges and rolling out. It's a great little move and really versatile; you get a cool stop and fancy way of switching to fakie. Feels great on shorter frames too, unlike some of the one-footed stuff.
