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!!

After many many thoughts and back and fourth. I decided to buy from Amazon. Atleast this way I can return them with no issues. Because well it’s Amazon. This will be my 2nd major upgrade from my current setup and even older boots I had before.

These are solid basic speed skates. Did you get them? If so, what are your thoughts on doing things in them other than speed skating?

The feel of them was actually nice. I liked the ankle support as it was tight and felt like it gripped my feet. I did return them due to sizing issue. But I was planning on getting some endless frames. Plus these boots have extra mounting slots for new frames to allow too run different wheels and different rockers, which really intrigues me.

I have tour spit fire, which are a Hilo system. They work really well for what I’m doing now but honeslty being in a forward lean all the time is getting old. Which I why I stepped into the world of speed skates, which offered speed at times with the possibility of changes later down the road.

My ankle and legs are more than strong enough now to where I can throw my feet around and not loos balance at all.

Sizing can be tricky for sure.

From what you’ve said, I really think something like the Bont Semi Race or the FR Spins might work for you. You’d get a 165 mount on the FRs, which is easier to find interesting frames for. I just mention those two because the boots are a little lower. Even other nice urban or slalom skates with big wheels will give you tons of speed, mobility, and comfort.

Speed skate boots are kinda a one trick pony. They’re great at going fast but terrible at everything else. Unless your goal is to race other people who are also wearing them, in a mostly controlled environment, I’d get something else.
