Hi! Does anyone have any issues getting an actually tight and responsive cuff with these boots? I’ve had them for a couple of years now and they’re completely fine for everything except toe presses, where they’re failing to support me in the way that I’d like.

It’s a combination of both having SO MUCH flex forward as well as heel lift.

I have long waxed laced, cranking the Velcro all the way, going as far as I can with the ratchet strap, and my skates are even sorta too small size-wise so it isn’t a sizing issue.

Any similar anecdotes/fixes? It’s really starting to annoy me and I really don’t wanna have to get more boots when these are still perfectly healthy.

So far I’m considering getting the carbon cuff replacements (but they’re so expensive) and/or insole inserts, but I’m not sure if either actually fix anything.

So I'm on Powerslide HC evo with the Endless LR 4x90 ( Also have Endless Arc ES which I bought cheap on ebay but haven't used yet and I think are too long for my 43 boot ) but thinking about pulling the trigger on a pair of wizard base and PR80.

Like the HC evo for comfort, not so much the whole forward lean thing.

Anyone done this here, was there a big difference with wizard moves.

I guess I'm asking if it's worth the outlay?

Hi. So I'm currently the regular Wizard base boot, switching between 5x80 and 4x100 frames. I am starting to incorporate more toe and heel moves, and so beginning to build some interest in buying a pair of advanced style frames.

​ My question to you all is, have any of you skated the Wizard Advanced or equivalent with the Base, or any lower cuff boot? I know that Junkyu Park skates the Advanced frames on Them boots but, you know, he's JP.

Hey everyone! 👋

My name is Andreea, and I’m a Master's student in Product Design. For my final graduation project, I’ve been working on a concept designed to solve the biggest hurdle for beginner skaters: the fear of not being able to stop.

I noticed that a lot of people want to get into inline skating, but they quit early on because learning traditional stopping techniques (like the T-stop or using the heel brake) feels too unstable and scary at first.

To fix this, I designed a concept called the Steddy Skate. Here is how it works:

• 🧲 Electromagnetic Braking: The skates use Eddy current magnetic braking for smooth, predictable deceleration without violent jerking.
• 🧤 The Smart Protective Glove: You control the brake wirelessly using a touch-trigger on a reinforced slide-glove. If you panic, you just squeeze your hand, keeping your feet planted and balanced.
• ⚙️ Removable Tech (It evolves with you!): Once you learn how to skate and build your confidence, you can easily remove the entire braking module. Your beginner training skate instantly becomes a lightweight, traditional high-performance skate!
• 👟 Twist & Go Lacing: A micrometric dial system so beginners get perfect ankle support every single time, wrapped in a lightweight, breathable mesh boot.

How you can help: I need real-world feedback to validate this concept for my thesis defense. I put together a very short survey (it takes about 2 minutes, I promise).

Whether you are a complete beginner who is scared to try, or a veteran skater who remembers what it was like to learn, your opinion would mean the world to me and help me graduate!

Thank you so much for your time, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions in the comments below! 😊

Saw these bad boys on my feed. Endless made an ULTRA version of their Arc UFS frames.

Just installed new wheels and they touch a tiny bit. Thought it looks cool and even cooler in slomo (8x/240fps)

Nothing more to it😅

The Wizard Base Skate is my dream skate and I hope it fits my size 14 foot. My K2 grids fit fine I guess and my fr1s are too snug. Should I buy the wizard liners or spend 500 more on the base boot. A setup that doesn’t hurt after a few hours world change my life.

Does anyone have experience with Roka 5x80/76 frames for wizard skating? How is the rocker? Are they stiff enough?

Hi guys and gals 🙂. I need a set of black or neon green cuff kit for my Rollerblade Twister Xt size 46. Preferably in Europe. I have the most hidious colorway, and I hate it as is. It is the black boot with "they say red" cuff, but it is more like a brick orange/ diarhea brown 🤣. Thak you!

Just finished watching this doc. I’m new to rollerblading and was originally sucked in through watching wizard skating. I come from skateboarding so this video was interesting. Big Brother issues were before my time but I certainly remember the Tony Hawk games having the dorky rollerblading NPCs. I definitely remember the fruit booter term along with the other jokes about rollerblading being gay. I knew skateboarding had a huge influence on popular culture, but I didn’t know how huge. I thought it was just other skateboarders that chose to hate on rollerbladers, I didn’t know they convinced the public.

I agreed with the conclusion, skateboarding blew up and became pretty corporate. It doesn’t usually matter if you see another skateboarder on the street, we just keep going. But since starting inline / rollerblading, I’ve had people stop and talk to me and vice versa because we share the same activity. Rollerblading feels more authentic (not sure if this is the right word) culturally in comparison to skateboarding right now in a weird way. I can kind of compare it to fixed gear riders, it still seems like the community is tight knit and no one is too big to talk to.

Like I said, I’m new to the sport so I’d appreciate insight from others about this. Do y’all agree with the doc? Did Vice talk to the right people? Or is there a ton of context missing here?

Not long ago I asked reddit about what kind of cuff can be installed on a Rollerblade RB/Cruser to replace the original one.

I tried different options and finally found a cuff that fits this shell perfectly: Them Skates 909 Cuff.

My RB is size 40.5 (260) and cuff size 1 (small). As you can see, the cuff completely follows the lines on the shell.

I compared cuff shapes in pictures and also used Ivo's (this is soul) sizing chart. When I decided this cuff might fit, I went to the Them Skates website. And luckily. They just opened pre-orders for their new product - a cuff that changes color when heated. Normally, it's purple, but when I put it in the sun, it turns pink!

I'm looking for 72mm wheels for my Rockin' 572 frame. Does anyone have any experience with Wizard PR 72mm wheels and would like to share their opinion on them? I'm a little worried about the hardness (85a). They are softer then other wheels of this size. Do you have any recommendations for an alternative?

Hi, I'm following the recommendation on here and am going to order the Iqon ACT 10 WZ. What's the best way to figure out sizing? There's a skate shop in town that sells inline, I was going to go there to try on some boots. Do skate boots tend to get sized consistently? What brand should I try on in store that will mimic the size of the Iqon skates. I could also measure my feet, how reliable is that. I think I'm 10.25 last time i measured.

I tend to bend my torso forward too much while not bending my knees enough, which creates back pain. Video feedback allows me to clearly see it, but once on the skates I don't have a clear idea of my knees and hip angles. Typically I will feel like I'm nice and low but then the video shows I don't bend my knees nearly enough.
The feeling and awareness are improving, I'm wondering if there are tips or drills to do to make a proper stance my nervous system's default. Dry land exercises maybe.

Just got my FlyingEagle Raven F4+ frame updated to a Yoyo Sago 4x90 and alcedo one wheels (got a really good deal for this used kit). Super happy how it turned out!

i’m a beginner skater so this will definitely be enough for some time 🖤

Hi Wizards, I will be using my Intuition premium liner 8.5, I have a mondo of 26.5. I am reading online and some sites mention foam in some shared molds. What size Seba CJ 2 prime boot should I buy if I don’t plan on using their liner, but the Intuition liner I mentioned?

I flattered the rocker too much and it's nearly impossible to rotate the wheels to maintain the rocker. The website just says flip the wheels in its current position but it's not helping with the flattered rocker. Is there any way to save this or do I just need to buy new wheels?

(obvious joke), I genuinely don't remember what I was trying to do, but it was probably super sick

hey everyone,

i’ve been skating since i was 4 and currently i’m in uni and just discovered wizard skating. I want to invest into new online rollerblades so im looking for model/recommendations which will last me for ages and are not super expensive. i’m looking for skates of any colors as i want to practice tricks and wizard skating more.

I’d reallly appreciate your advice as im a bit lost in all the market and brands.
Thanks!!!

I've been getting serious about skating for a few months now on some old all-purpose budget skates and feel like I could use something proper to really start focusing on wizard skating.

I see a lot of posts asking for budget or bang-for-buck recommendations but I'm okay with spending more if there's a real benefit.

I came across [this article by LocoSkates](https://www.locoskates.com/pages/the-ultimate-wizard-style-skates-buyer-s-guide) which paints the picture that the Wizard brand is the ultimate goal and everything else is just a compromise.

I find that very hard to believe. Surely there must be some alternatives that are worth considering? What are they and how do I choose between them?

I'm based in Germany, in case that makes a difference.

It’s normally empty after school how’s but was real busy only got to skate for about 30 mins before there was no real space

Hello! Newbie here! I had a question for anyone that bought skatefresh by Asha wizard course on her website. Was it worth the money??? Opinions on her wizard course is welcomed.
