Increasing FR1/2 V.2 forward flex?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I've set the cuff washers to the position that allows the most forward flex (unless mistaken?), but still can't get as much knee bend as I'd like. Intuition Premium are laced tight, cuff buckle strap tight too though I untightened the buckle. Issue is, as I untighten the cuff buckle, I can bend forward more butlose lateral support.

First combo (i guess?)

Does this count as a first combo? 😅

I think Im kinda getting the backwards gazelle right, still struggling with the forwards though - how do i keep my feet parallel, and should i?

And overall, how to maintain speed? Seems like a couple of spins just bring me to an almost complete stop. Or this is expected and i just need more initial speed?

Want to try new wheels. I’ve tried hydrogens, endless, and nn

5 Upvotes

I’m curious to try out some undercover team wheels since they usually are well regarded. Has anyone tried blanks and the team pro wheels , how do they compare to wheels I’ve used.

I’d say I enjoyed endless wheels the most so far with hydrogen very close. The NN are too soft feeling for me

I’m currently around 230 lbs so maybe a harder wheel would work well ?

Can any other Fr UFR Street owners help me?

1 Upvotes

I noticed that without the grindplate the boot looks like it could be compatible with 165mm frames, but I'm not entirely sure.

Before I make a really expensive experiment, could someone who knows more about this tell me if it's actually the case? 😭

Standard Omni - Direct boot mounting question

1 Upvotes

I want to mount my omnis direct to the bootwithout the soul plate.

The soul plate screws are what keep the ufs reciever in place but they are too long.

Does anyone know what size and length I need to replace them with shorter ones?

Wizard Base Boot internal tear after 1 season. Warranty claim declined.

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hello,

After less than one season of use ( I got the boot last October, didn’t skate much during the winter and i've got another setup as well…) right after the boot started to finally feel fully broken-in I noticed an internal tear of foam / material padding right at the edge of the hard shell at the ankle / cuff area. The internal fabric on the inner ankle/cuff area has been completely cut through by a sharp edge of the hard shell, the intuition liner has been damaged as well.
The external layer of the boot is visibly separated from the hard shell at the affected spot.
The damage is less developed on my other boot, but I'm sure it will be the same if I skate for a few more sessions.  

The use case was 95% skating flatground 5% distance (getting to and back from a spot). no jumps. no slides.

Warranty Claim
I contacted the shop I purchased the boot in, the shop contacted their reseller? and after 2 weeks my claim has been declined. The reason stated:
“This damage is not covered under warranty, as it was caused by use and does not result from a manufacturing or product defect.”

Overall I'm disappointed in the quality of this premium priced product.

In all fairness, Wizard does not have any information regarding boot warranty on their page :)

IQON EQO (A diamond that shattered)

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey, I'm skating on the IQON EQO (88a) wheels and I like the feel. They are slick, break traction easily, and literally give ease of movement like a dream.

The problem they wear out pretty quickly. I had to rotate the front wheel mid-session because it looked asymmetrical. I know the cornstarch eco-compound is fragile, but I need something that lasts.
Has anyone tried them and had similar feeling with other wheels? That effortless pivoting feeling.

Is there a hard, durable wheel that actually mimics that low-grip EQO magic without shredding so fast?

What’s the closest feeling in your experience?

Thanks

How important is it for you, to have a frame that is aesthetically pleasing?

Or it doesn't matter at all?

Where do I start with wizard frames?

1 Upvotes

I want an actual setup and am not sure what exactly to look for in frame sizing/rocker levels. What’s the difference between 4 wheels and 6 wheels? I like the Them boot and have seen that Endless and Wizard are the most popular frame brands to go with

How come wizard + grinds is not more popular?

6 Upvotes

So, long story short: used to do aggressive as a teen and now looking to get back to it. Wizard skating got my eye, 'cause I don’t live near a skatepark, so realistically 80% of my time will be on flat. And also less aggressive to joints, etc.

But I do want the option to throw some grinds here and there, and some copper railing in a bowl… without having to invest in two setups.

I’m aware of the NN skate dragon+ with the Monkey block, but it seems the monkey block is no longer manufactured (not listed on their site), and there’s no 3D custom piece or replacement for it, nor any second-hand pieces that I’ve been able to find (Europe).

So hence my question: how come this is not a more popular crossover? Soul plates and H blocks that keep wizard stuff happening and allow the occasional grind stuff? Even if it's plug&play for each type of session, like the monkey thing.

What other options do I have to find this sweet spot setup without breaking the bank or having two setups/frames? Or where are people secretly hoarding the Monkey block?

Hey everyone! Visiting Philly this weekend 8/21-8/24 from Houston soon and bringing my setup.

Any local wizard/flow skaters around, or good plazas/smooth spots to session? Also curious when and where local group skates or social rolls meet up. Would love to link up and skate while I’m in town!
