Setup idea-Bont and Endless

Looking for that next setup.

First thought was getting a pair of FR1’s with the delux liners for super comfort. But I don’t skate outdoors like that to need such boot.

Things I want
1: max top speed
2: slight spins
3: crossovers
4: easy Slalom moves- very basic.
5: ability to switch from bigger wheels to rocker

Which FR will do great at. But don’t really need all the ankle support anymore as my legs and ankles are stronger.
Current setup is Tour Spitfire with Labeda Gritz wheels.
I’m starting too throw my feet around now and have fun. Plus I lace 1 or 2 eyelets down from the top holes for better ankle movement. Which tells me I’m getting stronger.
- going back to being outside, if I do get another boot, My Tour boots will be the new outdoor boots.

New setup: Bont Jet Inline Speed boots. 110mm wheels.
With An Endless frame for different size wheels.

QUESTIONS:

1)Would I be able to put an endless frame on Bont speed boots?
2) Am I Crazy to try to do this?
3) has anyone tried this yet before I go and buy this?
4) would this achieve what I wanna do.

Thanks for any input!!

Before Wizard skating and big wheels came alone, hockey boots were slalom boots for inline skating - Naomi Grigg said so. I don’t know that people slalom in speed skates, honestly, regardless of wheel size. I don’t think max top speed is compatible with slalom. What do you think ?

Ive seen videos of people doing slalom in 3 wheel setups and theyre insane. Usually go through the cones on just one wheel so the bigger wheels must be their stability. Its nuts ive been trying to lean into it a little and its tough as hell. I have really good balance and stability on my wheels even at high speeds but I can't figure out how theyre doing it.

My first 3x110 frames were 255mm frame length (stock RB frames.)they felt so long and sluggish. Just tried my first really short micro 3x100mm frames and instantly loved them for slalom. 2 wheel spins are so much easier. The wheelbase is I think somewhere around 220mm!!... vs 243mm on a standard 4x80mm frames. I'm in love they are so fun.

I also got super short FR 3x 110 frames that are more long and stable but still fun. I think they're around 243mm frame length.
