Love the informative video. Thanks for posting it. Skated a bunch as a kid and just getting back into it at 37 years old. Very helpful to have videos like this to help me get my new skates tuned in.

64 yrs. old, did lots of quad roller skating in my teenage yrs. before I left for the miltary, just started back rollin again 2 yrs. ago an loving it. can't get fancy like I did way way back, I just keep it simple. good exercise! !! ROLLEM LIKE YOU STOLE EM! !!! LOL

Thank you so much. Straight to the point - exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I have learned a lot of dynamics of the equipment from you. Very allround and incredibly informative. Keep up the grind!

Wow - this was a very helpful video. I watched several videos on wheels and still didn't know what to order. No one else explained size - they barely touched on it. I also read all of your responses to people's questions in the comments and all of it was helpful.

Glad I came across your videos I'm 48 and haven't skated in about 25 years so I know I'm going to be rusty as Hell!!😁 Skates are a lot more advanced since I last skated so your videos are very informative and they're helping me try to find the correct skates, sizes and wheels to get started again!! Thinking about purchasing Riedell's for my first purchase seem like really nice skates to start off with fingers crossed!!! Thanks for posting these videos hopefully I'll be on my wheels soon!!

Great skating and info! Thank you so!

This was so helpful - I literally needed just the first 30 sec of info. Thank you King!

This is so helpful. Thank you!

What’s up bro, Love your channel. I’m a skater, more of a fast pace. Trying to work on my spins and higher speed, just found your channel and going to take some of you great tips. Thanks for the great videos and hard work.

Thank you I needed this video it was very helpful

I'm 46yrs old & still going strong for over 40yrs now. I love my shamens & my BONT custom quad speed skates. I indoor skate very fast while jamming every weekend.

Can you tell me what you like about your reidell juice skates or compare them to other reidell skates that are comparable

I was interested in learning to jam skate. I want to buy Moxi skates though for esthetic purposes. Do you have any suggestions on how to make them better for jam skating?? Igs like wheels or plates?? I’m not real familiar with the technicalities of skates lol

Too advanced for me, I’ll subscribe next year!😂😂😂

What wheel do you like for outdoor wheels? I love rinks but with Ms Rona rolling around, naw. I need to mix it up and go outside but my wheels aren't ready.

We aint got wood floors out here... Whats a good hardness for dat slick concrete? I use the varsity you dont use but it works but slippery. The black ones... But i just got some outdoor wheels with the red ceramics and it made op for the slowness the 78a causes. The varsitys are 98a

Appreciate this video! Thank you! I came looking for some ideas on an "in the middle wheel" but I ride Bones rn and they are my current favorite for sure and as soon as you mentioned Bones I realized I probably have the right wheels already!

What size wheel should I get? I really enjoy going fast and cutting in and out through the slower people on the rink floor.

Thank you... From Detroit..

Mostly skated trails and outdoors as a younger adult now starting again in my 40s at the rink , video was helpful a bunch✌😎.....live on and peace

Very helpful...thanks. new skater here..lol..plan on doin alot of outdoorskating....Im from chi town and i dont know if i ready to hang with these pro's in the rink in this city....they take skating kinda serious..lol...

Hello. . I am trying to do my research on a decent pair of indoor wheels and lucky for me I came across your channel. . what is your thoughts on the Rollerbones Team Logo 98A Recreational Wheels? I’m not a newbie to skating but clueless to a decent wheel. Thank You in advance for any advice you can give.

I really appreciate your videos and knowledge.... I’m a rhythm/dance/Jb skater I’m wondering what the best plate is for spins

Me at this intro music: IKYFL 😂🤣😭

Finally went to star rink after 15 years of no skating. And realized i need a comfy boot with big speed wheels. I can swag and lean around corners but im not good at shuffles. I caught myself gettn my old rhythm back. But them rentals held me hostage lol. Do star rink sell skates and accessories?

I’m still sort of a beginner skater but I have skated in the past, it was years ago. The wheels were bigger and I found them to be clunky. Since then I now have experience from dance and more balance, so should I start with bigger wheels to get back into it or can I go for smaller wheels for spins and stuff?

I just got some chicago bullets. I still miss my cut down sure grips with white lightnins from 77' after orderin these.

I just purchased a pair of impala skates. They haven't arrived yet but I plan in starting out on a hard surface in my house when they do get here. Do people make modifications/adjustments straight out the box?

I’m stuck between the the 57mm or the 62 mm for the roller bones teams wheel. Any recommendations? Using them on my Hyde’s I recently got, learning the jb style currently.

Hello. . Could you recommend skate wheels for me. . I had All American + but found they gave too much slip so I switched to RollerBones Team Logo 98A and found they gave more grip than I like. . I need something in between (I skate relatively well) I’m clueless as far as wheels etc. , Here in NYC it’s more Dance/Rhythm Skating. Any suggestions you can offer, I’d greatly appreciate.

Love your content

Thanks…great info

I have a few questions I hope you can help me with . I skate all the time I usually do just the rental I want to get some custom skate indoor I find that the rental ones are heavy for me i weight about 115-125 My shoes size is 4.5 in boys if I want to make my own skates what size plates should I get 4 or 5 and what a good size wheel to go with ( still learning and playing around with some tricks )

Thank you for this video! Very informative. I want to change the wheels on my Chicago skates. What wheels would you recommend for skating in a rink and outside? Cruising and dancing mainly. Thanks in advance

Hers my take on indoor and outdoor wheels, for outdoor skaters if you're a dance skater, if you can find a set of small orang or yellow krypto's for indoors I've found the flomac premiers one of thr oldest companies around and Canadian little Red or green wheels if there still made and last but not least unfortunately I can't remember the name the wheel was the most popular at the time was the all American dream and for the people that wanted a less expensive wheel was the all American plus, and for inside a higher hardness like around 97 ish was good and for outdoors a softer compound something in the 80ish durometer is was better to absorb the bumps in the road. Signed " WHEELS" that was my nickname. I skated at empire roller dome then metropolis skate club on west 55the in Manhattan and last but not least Roxys roller rink great cast, keep up the good work, "Quad skates for life"!🙃

Hey i been trying to figure out what wheels are good for sliding but has grip too was looking at Fomac freestyles and the premiers but don’t know which one is better I know im 3 years late but a suggestion would really help love your videos btw ❤️

Man i got offa ebay sp 204 with formula 2 wheels. Used. And some used suregrip power plus 93a. 62× 42. Some soulfly wheels some evolve evo wheels some black camans and some black nitros. Waitin on moxi juicys and route 70's. Two more sets of plates and some led 58×32 82a china wheels. It all manifested in the last 3 months. Im quittin at that I got plenty of skate tools. I do believe the high dollar power plus wheels are the way to go. Wolf bearings are worth the 20$ too.

Can the longboard wheel be used on the quadskate or not?

When i go roller skating the other people roller skates are loud do you know what wheels they are? Cause I couldn’t find them anywhere.

What skates do you use or your fav ones

Have you ever used Fomac Harmony wheels? If so, what are your thoughts? Are they significantly slicker than Rollerbones Elite 103A?

Have you taken the Varsity Wheels outdoors? (skatepark or tennis court) Do the y wear our bad?

I’m not sure we’re to post this question. 2 months ago I bought the Riedell Uptown’s with Radar 97a wheels with Abec-5 bearings. After some research, I ended up getting Rollerbones logo 101a and Reds bearings. I love the grip of the wheels, but the bearings are a whole lot faster than what I’m used to. I’m considering putting lesser bearings in it as I try to go a bit slower and focus on technique rather than speed at this point. Do you recommend for me to wrestle through this until I master the new bearings? Or do you have any other recommendations? Thank you,

I’m learning a few jam skate moves and would like more versatility. I’m on Sure Grip Fame Artistics 97A. What do you recommend?

What size wheel do you recommend for JB skating? I have roller bones 62mm and I feel like they are too heavy

I recently got some boosts...love the boot but I just don’t feel confident on em (wheels?) I got the rivas on there that they came with, people are telling me they’re trash lol..I’m looking at the bones now...do you suggest 101a or 103a? ...I’m gonna be shufflin ;)

I can’t remember if you mentioned It or not but where did you purchase your bones elite wheels from?

What wheels do you recommend if I want to do spins and tricks outside? Will 78A 65mm be to limiting?

I have brand-new packaged witchdoctor wheels (blue)… any idea on value for all 8?

was good sk8 fam, can u hit me with a lil advice on skate wheel would do me the best. im tryin to get my JB skate on. i got the big bulky outdoor wheels that came with the skates. im about 270 lbs, so can u recommend which wheels would be best for crossovers and jb'n ? thanks fam....

Could you provide me with the exact link to the elite bone wheels that you use? I can't seem to find them for some reason

One thing that is not mentioned in these videos are the bearings? Which bearings are best for roller skate dancing or racing?

Wuddup Fam! Hope your day is going well. Quick Question! What size wheel and width would you recommend for me at the weight 260 lbs?

Does skateboard wheel match any roller skates?

Hi, I really like your videos! I want to get into outdoor skating but not sure on brands or style .. is their a major diff between the leather and plastic boot? Torn between Rio and ventro pro turbo ..thank you!

What up bro Love your videos I know this is a old video, but it’s about wheels. I’m 42 years old, used to skate as a kid. Decided to re-hit the ground runnin with Fames, REDZ bearings, Rollerbones 101A/62mm wheels, 85A Sure Grip cushions. The wheels are not sliding like I want them to after 3 weeks in the rink. What would you recommend? Would the Sure Grip wood wheels be a bad idea? TIA I had a guy WAY WAY more advanced than me tell me 3 times at the rink yesterday I was doin my thang though! Made me feel good for just 3 weeks in. Taught myself how to skate backwards in the garage the other day. Now I want your 180 transition spin!

What's good Skate fam !!can you do a video on hardness of the wheel .I have Rollerbone 62mm x 101a is that a good hardness for JB?

What size will would you recommend for a kid skate that's a size j12. I'm trying to find new wheels for the rink but unsure of kid sizes.

Thx

Hello ! I am a little late since this video was done but I hope to hear back. Great information between. What hardness for Radar varsity and the Elites do you recommend . I am a rhythm skater intermediate. Thanks!

Do you think vnla shoes good to dance & go backwards in?

Its' hard being beautiful. I'm weak!!!!

What do you recommend for someone who is a beginner adult who wants a slower roll and lots of stability

Would it be smart to buy some Chicago roller skates and change out the wheels with some outdoor wheels?

Hi my name is Imani. If you want to change the wheels on your skates, does you new wheels have to be the same size as your old wheels?

For the ladies, what skates and wheels give the rhythm style? Can’t ever find this info easily. Like I see the ladies on Skyte lyfe smooth moves what skates 90% of the time are those!? Ugh painful to figure this out. Thank you!

I currently roll on 58mm 82a wheels typically for outdoors. Think I should get some harder wheels? I’m learning JB btw

I’ve seen people with wheels that look almost like they are skating on bearings lol super small and loud, do you know what those are?

Do I need to buy a tool separate from my skates I’m order to change my wheels and bearings?

i have been really struggling with buying indoor wheels. I feel more comfortable skating outdoors on my outdoor wheels i can hit my spins better etc. I recently purchased the indoor fame artistic wheels and im sooooo scared to ride on them because they are sooooo slippery. any recommendations on wheels that will give me the outdoor effect but are considered indoor wheels?

Hi Milwaukee24 Sk8Fam! I skate inlines and skateboards, and I can attest that similar concepts apply when I'm skakting, too. Sounds like roller skating would be most comparable to skateboarding. On my trick board, I have loose trucks and smaller wheels, both in diameter and thickness. They are also a little rounded on the edges for tricks. The trick board is more challenging to balance on due to the loose trucks and thinner wheels, but the smaller diameter - probably combined with slower bearings - mean that the board doesn't roll as much on flat ground. Less rolling is good for improving front / back balance (from board view, or in the case of being in a riding stance, our body's side-to-side balance). The slower roll on trick boards is probably by design, because trick boards are normally used for outdoor (and sometimes indoor) skate park obstacles like ramps, bowls, banks, boxes, coping, rails, etc. You'd be surprised how much speed you can pick up on those obstacles. So, slower wheels there is a bit of a good thing. My cruiser boards have larger wheels with faster bearings. Both of these factors mean that those boards will roll further. They are softer wheels, too. Combined with the large diameter, this means the boards will also roll a lot more smoothly on rougher surfaces outside, like rougher asphalt with some moderate settlement cracks. My skate park wheels are harder than my cruiser wheels for durability with the tricks. The softer cruiser wheels wear down over time, but their softer material makes cruising around my neighborhood much more enjoyable, whereas harder wheels would give me a much rougher - and not-so-fun - ride. While my cruiser boards do have larger wheels that will move more than smaller wheels, because they are wider width-wise and paired with tighter trucks / harder bushings, the cruiser boards are much more stable side-to-side (from the board perspective) than my trick board. This is why I prefer to loan out my cruiser boards when neighborhood kids ask to learn to ride. Now, as for inline skating: I have a pair of larger-wheeled recreational skates and a pair of smaller-wheeled skate park "aggressive" skates. (No joke, skate park inline skating is called aggressive inline skating.) Here is where things probably differ from roller skating and skateboarding: my *larger* 80mm recreational wheels are actually *thinner* and *rounder* than my smaller and thicker / blockier 57mm aggressive wheels. *So, for inline skating, sometimes smaller wheels will give you more side-to-side stability.* BUT, this rule may not hold true all the time. For example, triskates - perhaps moreso inflated off-roading triskate inline skates - may have fairly thick wheels for their size. But I must say that I can't think of thicker or necessarily smaller inline skating wheels than aggressive wheels. So, combined with the slower bearings and shorter frames - our rough equivalent of plates / chassis, I guess - aggressive inline skates can be a reasonable choice for learning some balance-based tricks on inline skates, like wheelings (manuals). Granted, though, my recreational inlines handle turns and higher-speed tricks more effectively. This is probably why most inline skaters who like to do flat-ground tricks or slalom will opt for shorter-framed slalom skates or free skates. Hope the comparison helps for anyone interested. = )

Quick ? Did u say the varsity cause the arrow are pointing at another well instead of the varsity ones

Thank you 😊

Hey, maybe you can help me. I bought new skates back in March, when I was changing out my wheels the other day I noticed the bearings were a mix of ABEC 5 and 9s. I mean almost each wheel was a set of 5 and 9, and then 2 f the wheels had 5 and 5. Is that weird? The rink ordered them straight from the company so it seems they just sent them out that way. Can it affect the skate badly? Thanks.

Video starts @ 0:40

I'm looking to get into rhythm skating. I was thinking about getting the riedell uptowns. Would you suggest any other skates?

What size wheel is best tho because I’m confused

I have Candi girls and have a 82A wheel and want to try some artist skate should I get different wheels they said the 82A wheels are for in door and outdoor

What do you think about sims wheels?

Lmaoooo awesome thank u

You video was very helpful.

For an almost intermediate skater would you say 57mm or 62mm rollerbones……I have 57x95mm that came on my sure grip skates….but thinking of getting a harder wheel for rink skating now that I’m more comfortable….i am like 195lbs…lol!

Can you do a video about skate brands for beginners? Like people who can skate but haven't bought their own skates yet.

Is there a difference between roller bones teams vs roller bones elite? Can you tell the difference?

Can u do a video of skates for men? Idk if I should get some outdoor riedell or the angel or boost?

What do you think about using varsity plus wheels 57mm for jb skating?

How could I make my skates go faster paid a lot for skates I change wheels and they still go slow should I buy bearings

I like to snap a lot so what wheels do u prefer ?
