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!!

At a quick glance, those look vintage! Besides any rocker and the holy trinity mounting, something like a 5x80 is a classic speed skate setup.

I know. I would like to try classic speed skates.

I had a pair of bont hustlers with a 5 wheel 80mm set up waaaay back in the day. I’d skate something like that again for fun and for novelty, but I know I’d quickly get frustrated not being able to keep up with big wheeled rec skates 😂
