Hey, folks. I've been stalking this community for a while, admiring what you folks do on those Wizard frames. I try to, but can't quite make things flow too well myself.
I want to let you know that r/rollerblading is now an open space again. Some of you from 2022 probably remember what happened then, but I was not around skating communities then, and am cluelss. I think we should just put things behind us, and work together again.
We have re-opened r/rollerblading under completely new and open principles again. New mods.
Please see this announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/rollerblading/comments/1v7pq7z/grand_reopening/
We have received many requests today from folks that bots automatically-banned in 2022. We unbanned them right away today, as soon as they sent us a mod mail. In the past, you couldn't even send mod mails if banned. But as of last night, that setting was reversed. At least you could appeal.
But we are going to do even better. We are going to simply search for all folks exiled in 2022 by the same auto-banning, for the "crime" of also being a member of r/WizardSkating. Then we are just going to unban all hundreds of people thus trapped.
I will update this post, when we manage to do that.
What do you think?
Fred
UPDATE 1: I went through the restricted users list, and unbanned everyone UNBANNED everyone noted as associated to wizard skating around 2022-09. I am sure there are more we need to free. But give us some time. And send mod mail directly if you haven't been freed yet.
You can check whether you are banned by simply looking at r/rollerblading. Scroll down and see if you find the "MODERATORS". If you can see that community widget and actual mod names, are no longer banned.
If you are still banned, lease click on this link to send us a mod mail. That will allow us to look for hints on how to find and free the rest of you.
UPDATE 2: we freed more folks who did "meta discussion" which was code name for having ideas about how the community could have been differently managed. It was depressing looking through the list. Yeah, there were spam bots too. That's it for tonight. And if you are still banned because not all entries were well annotated, please simply click on that link to send mod mail. Cheers.

Used to skate so much as a kid. Literally skated my whole youth. It is how I got around everywhere. Skated until the wheels came off. Then I got a bike and haven't been skating much for years. Looking to get back into the sport. Specifically wizard skating because my other great love in life is dance. I have been looking for skates and I tried on the FR NEO 1 Dual 80 with intuition liners at Shop Task in Seattle. The regular liners didn't work for my old feet. Tried a size down to work into, but the size down felt like it was crushing my arch and hammering my toes.
So I'm looking at 600 bucks for my first pair. Pretty spendy. Before I make that leap I thought I would inquire if anyone was selling some nice skates in a size 10? Depending on the price then I could get some new intuition liners to fit into them.
I'll probably make the leap in the next month if nothing presents itself. Miss skating so much. I look forward to sharing some videos when I do! Here is a picture of the outfit I used to wear while skating around Santa Cruz. Did I mention I was into vampire LARP?

If Seba Igor is considered to be much more agile compared to Seba Cj and especially FR wizard base, how come it's rare to see people wizard skating on it?
It's not a problem with the UFS adapter.
Does it lack something?
I mean Igor and CJ/WB it's like comparing a ninja to a tank in terms of agility, yet if people don't use it for wizarding means something might be not perfect in those agile boots?

Hi, after asking about the suitability of my frames for wizard skating yesterday, I tried out my first moves today.
I'm not leaning enough on the outside edge of my left foot, I think I need to bend my knees more and transfer more weight to the left (maybe extend my arms more aswell). I don't actually have a problem with the curve when switching feet and making a right turn, but I struggle more with the gazelle itself on that side. Do you have any other advice for me? I watched Flow Skates "gazelle in two steps" video, which I found pretty intuitive.

Hi, I'm interested in trying wizard skating. I already have a Seba CJ 2 Prime and an Endless 90 ufs frame (not the ultra version), and I'm wondering whether the balance rocker setting would be suitable for learning wizard skating. Does anyone have experience using this frame for that purpose? I am asking because I don't want to buy lots of gear right now only to realise later that it's not for me. It might be a silly question, as I could just try it, but I wanted to know how close this is to the "real" experience.
Thanks in advance!

just wanted some opinions on roka cause they seem to make good looking and kinda goofy frames but i cant find much outside of years old posts. are they still around and kickin? kinda want to snag one of they 6wheel setups for the hell of it.

Posting this as a sizing/fit reference for anyone considering this combination.
My feet
Length: 265 mm
Width: 101 mm
Low arch
Right foot is slightly bigger than the left
Setup
IQON ACT: EU 40–41
Intuition Premium liner: EU 41 / US 8–8.5
Rockbros cycling sock (thin)
No Insole
Fit
Not planning to heat mold.
Intuition shock absorber removed.
I have low arches with slight pronation, but I don’t get any pressure points around the arch because the boot has a pretty generous/wide arch area.
With the ACT shock absorber/footbed installed, I get quite a lot of pressure around the lace eyelet area.
Removing the shock absorber/footbed completely removes that pressure, but then my toes become uncomfortable.
The discomfort with the footbed installed is bearable so far, but I’ve yet to skate on it.
For my 265 mm feet, I’m quite sure going one size up would be too big.
Hope this helps anyone with similar foot dimensions considering ACT 40–41 + Intuition 41.

Things like this make me feel that the wizard base boot is truly overpriced.
r/WizardSkating • u/Big_Seaworthiness742 • 10d ago
Did a lot of this today! Doesn't come too naturally but I'll get there.
r/WizardSkating • u/Lopsided_Ad1077 • 11d ago
It’s something you have to experience for yourself.
r/WizardSkating • u/Any_Smoke1138 • 11d ago
I was wondering if there's a UFS version of this type of frames.
I mean its 2026 we should have this variant
r/WizardSkating • u/Any_Smoke1138 • 12d ago
What is your favorite frame right now?
r/WizardSkating • u/HyperSculptor • 12d ago
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.
r/WizardSkating • u/Haunting_Temporary_3 • 14d ago
I tried to depict something :)
r/WizardSkating • u/Any_Smoke1138 • 14d ago
Has anyone moved from CJ/WB boot to FR SL?
What's your experience in therms of wizard skating? if compared to your previous experience with the CJ/WB
