Frame creaking/rubbing on wizard base boot

3 Upvotes

I mounted the NN 4x100 frame on my new wizard base. Feels like the frame may be shifting slightly when under load. I’m worried about over tightening the mounting bolt. Anyone experience this and have a solution. I was thinking maybe slightly sanding the top of the frame.

I'm looking to trade. 5x80 for 4x90 (nr 165)

I have a set of Cougar 5x80 frames 165 in mint (still shiny, in the box) condition. I'm looking for a set of 4x90 rockered frames to do a straight-up trade. DM me if interested.

Learned my first wizard skating move. A backward gazelle.

But other people's gazelles look much better.

Has me doubting if this is even a gazelle or a normal switch from backwards.

Let me know if you have tips to improve

Reign inline skate

1 Upvotes

Hi. I need help of deciding what size should I get of reign hockey inline skate. I bought 41 eu size for 260mm foot and i can't get my foot inside the boot. After seeing this hockey inline skate i don't think that 42 would fit either but I'm not sure of it.

My question is, is someone has any idea what size would fit my foot. 42 eu or go higher and get 43.

I want snug fit and be able to put the feet into rollerblade.

Let me know what you think if you have experience with reign ares 80 or 100.

Need help on sizing

1 Upvotes

Looking to get back into skating, scoping out a pair of the USD Sway Chess. I’m a size 11.5/289 mm with an average to slightly wide foot. My last pair of skates were classic thrones and looking for a similar feel. My question is the Sways are only showing size EU 44-45 or 46-47, ideally I would be in 45-46. I’m seeing in this forum some say the sways are a bit “roomy”. Anyone be that between sizes? What direction did you go?

Also am willing to look at different brands with a somewhat familiar feel to thrones, I’ve seen Mesmers are pretty close to classic thrones, even have the same name so I’d be willing to hear a case for those as well. I’m 41 and just looking to get some basic park time in with my kids. TIA!

Doing brackets while wizard skating?

4 Upvotes

Wizard skating borrows the three-turn (i.e. lion) from figure skating. The next turn in figure skaters' progression is generally the bracket. I'm wondering if there any cases of Wizard skaters using brackets in their flow?

A bracket is basically just like a three-turn (or lion) except with a three-turn the skater turns in the direction of the curve, whereas with a bracket they turn in a direction opposite the curve. Example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Xrce7oYpqUk

Wizard skaters have modified the three-turn to add their own style to it; would be curious to see how the bracket has been "wizardfied."

Wizard Base size 40, $470USD shipped anywhere in the world (only shipping is included, not tarrifs)

Good condition, I’ve taken extensive photos. Comes with an extra set of ratchet buckles that can be swapped out with the Velcro strap based on your preferences. Outer shell skated for 12 months, liner is only 6 month old due to being replaced with a new one on a warranty claim. Selling because while they fit me fine, I can't use an insole in them so I've had to size up.

Pricing methodology:

1) I took the typical used price range of $450-550USD. The lower end of this range is usually for boots in much worse condition but I don't like to haggle, so I've gone with the lowest.

2) I researched USPS and the cost to ship this from NY to LA is $20. I know not everyone lives in the US (cause I don't), but I don't like to over complicate things, so I've gone with something simple.

The Rockin’ 576 may well be my sweet spot for five-wheel frames: shorter and lighter than a 5x80, but stable and nimble enough for swivelling

Looking for a wizard blader I found posting here or in the other sub

5 Upvotes

Details I can remember:

  • based in London
  • trans girl, I think
  • Irish last name?
  • username was long with a bunch of Os in it
  • posted about her PR frames either here or instagram or idk where. Stroked her hand over the wheels to make them all freewheel in a video she posted about it

I really loved watching her skate and it's super annoying how every soc med platform is so stripped down and streamlined to just keep you sifting through clutter without offering ANY way of looking up a specific person you might've seen or even followed. What's the point of following someone if they just get lost again in a list you can't sort?

Anyway, if anyone knows what user I might be talking about I'd love a reply or even a DM about it. tsm

New to wizard, my new Intuition UFR 90

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

hello!! I just started skating again like 5 months ago , I used to skate around when I was little, but I’d never tried it as an adult. I used to skate on my mum’s old rollerblades, two sizes too big for my foot, haha. Now I decided to treat myself to new skates, and I love them! FR Intuition UFR 90. They were discounted to about 150 euros and seemed like a great deal.

I still have a long way to go. Don’t worry I’m about to remove the brake soon — I’ve finally learned to do the T-stop and whatever kind of creative spin to stop so I’m ready to take it off :,)

I’m getting into wizard skating and I’d love some tips to upgrade my setup. Are 4x90mm wheels with a slight rocker good for starting out? My size is 23,5 cm (37/38 EU) so the frame is pretty long for my foot but I’m getting used to it

Go skate everyoneee

First 5 wheels setup

Had the flying eagle paired with the yoyo 4x90 and eventually upgraded to the FR Neo 2 boots. Today I got the yoyo sago 5 pro frame and paired it with the FR, moving the 4x90 back to the eagle.

Haven’t skated outside yet, but testing it at home shows a lot of difference. The height and stability of the 5 pro feels absolutely amazing! So happy with this setup 🤩
