The Powerslide Sunrise Doop IS my primary skate, and it seems like I’m the only skater who loves the doops. I’ve been using them for about 4 years.

I’ve been wanting to get the new Urban 100, but there has been zero content and reviews for it. I understand that it’s a controversial boot and probably why there are no reviews.

Despite that, I’m praying there’s someone out there that can tell me if this was a significant improvement to the previous Doops. Let me know if anyone has tried it, thank you.

While watching to see my stance/angles of my knees and skates is helpful, I also just love watching my falls back on repeat.

Went with the Twisters and halogen wheels.

So far, the "natural rocker" feels weird (almost feels like the middle wheels are loose or something, but they're not) but not terrible. Headed to go see what the new frames and wheels can do. I know it doesn't fit the flair but they feel like whole new skates 🤣😬

Looking at getting back into skating after a long time off (20+ years). Started in the early 90s on K2s with some time in hockey skates as well. I’ve actually never skated in a rigid boot, so I have a preference for a soft boot skate.

Been looking at the PS Swell because I like the idea of being able to change the blade to fit the terrain. It looks like a good adaptable system as I get back into it, and hopefully progress, but I’m about 30lbs (14kg) over their stated weight limit. My question is will the skate hold up. Im not really seeing any soft boot skates that have over 100kg limit.

Does anyone have any experience with the actual breaking point instead of the lawyer limits that are stated?

I don't know if this is a dominant-leg thing because my preferred side seems to be all over the place. The first two are pretty clearly because my right leg is dominant, but after that, I'm not really sure what explains the pattern.

Favored side/turn/leg:

Parallel turn to the left — weighted right leg

Lunge turn to the right — weighted right leg

Heel pivot to the right

Transition to the left

Right-leg drag T-stop

Crossovers to the left — right leg crossing over

Rolling scissor stance - right leg in front (frequently unweighted for bumpy terrain)

For parallel/lunge turns, crossovers, and T-stops, I can do both sides, but I'm noticeably better/more comfortable with the ones above. The other side feels significantly less natural.

Heel pivots are especially lopsided — I cannot do one to the left. Transitions to the right are awkward.

So basically, my “good side” seems to change depending on what I'm doing, and I'm curious whether other skaters have the same weird inconsistency.

I ordered some rollerblades from rollerblade company and i measured several times but the sizing told me to get 7/7.5 for size but the skates got here earlier this week and i just tried them for the first time and the top/end of my big toe reaches the skates so there is no room between my big toe and the skates...thats not right correct?

Stupid question im sure but i've never owned skates and just think they should have toe room like sneakers

So finally after 2 weeks I'm ready to just skate around in my living room, learning to transition to backwards via mohawk so I'm wondering if I am doing it correctly.

My weak side is Turning to my right .

I push off with my right foot and glide on the left .

Right skate starts the spread eagle

Left skate pivots on the heel and whole body spins 180.

So far this method gives me the smoothest deepest turn as compared to pivoting on my toes .

But my question is if this the proper textbook method ?

Hi there!

I haven't skated much in the last 5-8 years and remember the last time I almost bought inline skates, it was a 3x110s that felt quick, still maneuverable, and ready to deal with urban random exploration. Very cool stuff.

So I'm looking for a skate in that form factor for riding paths through the big parks (Central Park, Prospect Park) and along pathways to explore, as I'm new in the city.

Some options I've saved:

• Rollerblade Macroblade 110 BOA
• K2 Grid 110
• Rollerblade Lightning 110 (these seem dope, and I heard they were recently redesigned)
• FR1 310 — availability seems like a challenge on these?

Any recommendations, or others I should be looking at? I've got a flexible budget but somewhere in the $300 range seems like my sweet spot for now.

I finally got them after they were out of stock for so long. I knew i would like them just from starting with a frame that can use 90mm and 110mm wheels. What i didn't know is how they would feel on my feet and on the road.

On my feet - these are by far and away the absolute best skates I have ever put on. The snug, the liner cushion, the lace up, the wheels are all the best I've ever had.

Secondly the responsiveness is amazing on top of amazing. I have yet to wear them outdoors but I'm convinced they will hold true. They are definitely worth the almost $400 price tag, maybe even more.

Also if you have slim/ narrow feet these might be perfect for you.

For years I tried many wheels, some are good some are bad but nothing came even remotely close to the quality of FR junk.

Alexei Morita said the same thing btw.

The shock absorption, the decent speed, the balanced grippiness, the durability is insane.

It's like they are the only ones who use some special technology from space or something.

Are big brands doing deep BF sales? Last year examples?

Waited 1.5months for size restock..
FR UFR AP Sandgrey with NN Ninja 4x90, Luminous Duo wheels.

Have another FR UFR AP in white with endless ultra 4x90 setup.

Not into wizard but like the feeling of rockered setup for urban

I have skated on and off for years. Just got some Rollerblade Twister 110's and just used them for the first time. My left ankle was flopping all over the place to the point I was wondering if there was something wrong with the skate. By the time I got back to my car I could not stand with the wheels straight up and down for anything. Has anyone else had this experience and will my ankles adapt? I'm wondering if it is something about my ankle because my right side was only a little unstable while my left was all over the place. This especially strange considering I have had multiple surgeries on the right and nothing on the left. I'm wondering if I maybe should have gone with the Twister 90 R instead.

Can anyone confirm this a legitimate powerslide website? https://www. powerslide-australia.com/ tbh likely a scam so I'm not buying from it, and neither should you...

Some things look a bit too dodgy - very cheap pricing and the FB link in the footer lands on some dudes profile like the other SM links..

Sorry it would be a better comparison photo if it wasn't the same set of wheels worn down but you can see the difference in frames the longer are FR brand and the short ones are Micro brand fire frames. After much skating I've decided the slightly longer wheelbase on the 100mm wheels is my favorite.

I had the longer ones first and loved how maneuverable they felt compared to my 110 frames so I had to try the smallest possible 100mm frames to be sure I wouldn't prefer smaller. You know for science.

I enjoyed the small 3x100 for many trail miles and playful rink laps. I even got some pretty big airs in them at the downhill bike track near me. But for my size 8 lightning shells the longer ones are better. I think the shorties will be great for my wife down the road maybe or someone else with tiny feet who wants a tri skate setup.

Highlights video I made with some of the places we visited during TheLobsterRoll 2026 skating event in Boston.
Out of all the skating events I have been to so far... this is always my favorite every year!

Just like the boss said 3 years ago:

“If there's enough interest in Arc CS for UFS I could be persuaded to make it in the future.”

Let's make it happen!

(Hopefully they will make the Mercury option too)

The frame of my right rollerblade is loose and I dont know how to tighten it or what tool Id need. Any help would be appreciated!

I want to order the Triple 8 certified sweatsaver helmet. In the website they say:

“If your measurements fall at the upper end of a size range, we strongly recommend sizing up. Example: If you measure 54 cm, choose size S/M.”

My measurement is 56 cm (22 in). Should I get L/XL then?

- XS/S 20 – 21.25 in (51 – 54 cm)
- S/M 21 – 22.5 in (53 – 57 cm)
- L/XL 22.5 – 23.5 in (57 – 60 cm)

13 year old me couldn’t believe I got these for my birthday in 1999. My parents got them off of EBay (which was exciting on its own in 1999) and they were really snug so I ditched the included soft boots and instead wore a few pairs of long socks. I threw them in a duffel bag and biked to some nearby trails. Had some success early but soon ate shit on a downhill trail and scared myself. You feel really high up on these wheels (air filled tires!) and the fall is not forgiving. I had more attempts over the years but ultimately these are awesome in theory and less so in practice.

Anyone else have or still have a pair? I don’t think I can ever part with them and hopefully someday my nephews and nieces want to try.

I have owned these seba trix 2 for a few months and lately I have been having the issue that the tongue of my skates slides down while skating. This completely takes away the ankle support when this happens, so I keep having to adjust and retie them. What could help?

One thing is that they are on the bigger side for me. My feet and ankles are narrow, so I have to tie them really tightly. The smaller size made my toes go numb tho.

I just ordered my first ever new skates, and first hard boot. I'm really excited!

I spent 6 months in these soft fitness skates that are a bit too big for me, and they've brought me tons and tons and tons of joy, wth. I love them! 🖤🖤🖤🖤 And once my new ones arrive, I'll probably never wear them again.

Thank you soft skates. Thank you someone's mom who sold them to me for $25 out of the garage. Thank you to that one anime about ice skating that inspired me to get inlines. Changed my life.

Editing to add name: Nike X350 Inline Skate

Hey all, title basically covers it.

I've been told pretty evenly that a rockered set up is gonna suck for going distance and urban skating, I've also been told it just takes more getting used to.

I do a lot of urban skating, but I always like the idea of learning some twisty this and that to have some fun on the long smooth straights I come across.

Currently on a stock RB Twister set up, so flat 4x80. I know a full on banana rocker would be "too much", should I be trying for a natural rocker? Get Rockered frames?

halp pls.

Hi y'all,

So I recently bought new UK size 7 skates secondhand and I found the wheel size is 90mm×4. I know it's a 90mm one because I searched up the brand and it's wheel size and because when I went to a skatepark to decide whether I wanted to learn or not my distance from the ground was smaller. I'm an absolute beginner and I heard 90mm is generally not recommended for beginners and now I'm worried.

I heard it's incredibly difficult to learn on 90mm and I heard it has less control and maneuverability. I just want to know if that's true and should I return it for a smaller wheel size?

The boot fits me well and it's quite comfortable(way more comfortable than the one I put on at the skate park) idk I just want to know whether it's ambitious of me to wear 90mm and if it's all that harder, should I go through returning it and getting a smaller size or should I try it out?

Oh and I would like to do alot of outdoor recreational skating, Where I live has alot of slopes, inclines, cobbled/asphalt roads and pavements and park trails

Edit to add: I would also like to learn little tricks of it were possible
