1:42 "I enjoyed my forward to back transitions more than usual" - Welcome to Wizard Skating. Gazelles and Lions are awaiting for you.
Let me just say that Ernie is doing a *fantastic* job on all the parts of the business that he is in charge of. It is paramount to have such dependable partners.
Wake up, open youtube, and a Bill Stoppard video was posted 1 minute ago? Lucky morning :)
Love this rocker looks like its perfect for inline hockey
Thanks for trusting our Pro Tool in "Pinto Pony Orange" and would love to see a bearing cleaning tutorial in the future!
Your pro tool is so photogenic!!!!
I love these subtle rockers - I've used Endless and NN frames as well as a slight rocker on K2 R100s with my UFS skate - it gives you a ton of maneuverability for city skating but not so much that you lose precision when skating. For anyone on the fence about trying these kinds of frames, I really recommend it!
Can I ask, do the front wheels wear down faster when you drag your front 2 wheels to check speed in turns? Is it that much different than having those front wheels just wear down naturally on a flat set up?
@@HeadNtheClouds the best way to describe a slight rocker is they feel like broken in wheels, even with brand new wheels
Re: rattles - I had an extremely annoying rattle on my HC Pro Evos. I checked my spacers, I tightened my axles, I tightened the frames, but I ultimately found out it was the ratcheting-style buckles! I replaced those on the cuff with the basic catch/release buckle type, and the arch buckles with velcro straps. This eliminated the rattle entirely.
I like your "head move" in the end of the power slide!
Awesome as always! Thank you
Great setup. This is very similar to my FR SL and Endless 90. Micro Delta F was one of the skates I’d considered when I got my SL. Hydrogens are my wheel of choice these days as well. I love my Endless 90s for my 265mm size EU 40 feet, but I’ve always wanted to try the 84s. I think the subtle rocker on the Endless is just perfect for city skating. Looking forward to the conclusion of your new skate search.
I got a 90x4 Endless + FR1 and I consider it a perfect all-around city setup. And if you want to do a long ride fitness, you change it to 110x3. In that case it's not nimble at all, but super stable and fast.
Lookin good Bill! Those Micro Delta F skates look like an amazing boot for precise movements.
I use endless frame 4x90mm, the trinity mount one. Love this setup. I got so attached to these subtle rockered frames now that I can’t do flat setups anymore. They just don’t feel good.
If you skate a flat setup for a few weeks it naturally wears into a subtle rocker
The waterbottle grab was def worth it.
Wow this skate is badass ! I like how minimalistic and integrated the buckles seem unlike on PS Evos or Taus where the plastic cuff is around the ankle like a crutch.
You should try the Endless 90 LR frame, that's what I settled on last year and love ( it's Trinity mount though )
Great setup! I skate at a park where there’s a lot of pebbles on the road and use a soft boot set up 4 100mm wheels and a 3 wheel 110mm hard boot. I feel more confident with the hard boots since they’re more stable. Soft boots are ok I just need to really tighten the boot.
Ditched the soft boots for a FR UFS boot with the R100 set up slightly rockered new UC wheels & bearings.
4:22 soooooo smooth!!!
Good job. Gotta stay hydrated.
Looking smooth! Also, excellent dishwashing skills 😂
Man I just love how he runs with the skates. thats exactly what I wanna learn to do.
I keep forgetting how great skating is, I haven't gone out in a while but I'd love to right now. That bottle grab was beautiful, though.
skating helps me forget about my problems quicker than anything
Good fun this. Hardcore Evo has been a good skate. If game, give torrent wheels with some rustproof bearings a crack on that outside terrain, nae perfect but manageable like
Powerslide Hardcore Evo Pro has been my favorite urban/slalom skate since its release in 2018. I have found that I enjoy it the most when I cut away the useless toe strap and remove the top buckle. I leave the 45˚ middle buckle to keep my heel locked in place. And then I use long laces to wrap tight around my ankles -- sort of a replacement for the removed top buckle. The fit is perfect, I never miss the top buckle, and now I can very quickly tighten my laces, because the top buckle is out of the way. In this way, it is almost a laces only hockey skate. You should try the very popular Powerslide Hardcore Evo Pro with this particular setup, Bill, wasn’t it you that once said that you hate buckles?
I’ve always like black boots with white wheels ❤
Good to see you on the Endless frames, Bill. I've got quite a few of their frames and they're just so good. I really love the frames you're using. That subtle rocker with 84mm wheels just hits right when it come to agility. I haven't used the Micro Delta F yet, but the carbon cuff is a very attractive feature.
Yes the subtle rock that still makes a huge difference on pivots is profound! Carbon cuff does look spaceship cool! 👊🏼
I really like my Hydrogen wheels, coming from Matter. Although Matter gives slide more if you like that. Both brands are good and I wouldn't choose any other. I'm looking at the Powerslide Evo boot but I need to justify getting them, as I don't skate enough atm.
Skates are cool. Im new to skating...but the t-shirt is awsome 😅
Hey Bill have you tried the endless 90's? Just wondering how they compare to the 80's.
Very intriguing!
Shout-out to Ernie!! ❤️ 🐶
Have you seen the marsblade system?, it is a rocker system that gives the most similar feeling to ice in wheels.
I honestly think the Micro Delta F/FR SL/FR SL Speed with a big-ish 4 wheel frame is the ideal city skate. For me it's 4x90.
That does look like a great set-up for you. But I wonder if the carbon cuff is a bit too much. Some other carbon skates come with a plastic cuff. Not sure, just wondering.
The plastic would buffer better, but I love a light stiff skate…and the look of carbon😮
Hey bro! First all of I like your setup. I have 6 pairs of aggressive but wanted to buy something for urban. I seriously was going to buy that exact setup but with the endless arc frames. What are your thoughts of the Micros now? Do they have any shock absorbers or anything so they don't feel too harsh on your feet? 😬
Do the wheels wear down fast, reducing the rocker with a rocker that small?
ohhh, I feel the same when I see and smell a LAND over there
One like for the t-shirt! 😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
And for the video of course!
how about alum spacers between the bearings is that a thing of the past?
MEGADETH 🤘❤
Found out, although slower, Alec 1 are absolutely great when getting wet, lasts forever
Have you tried the Marsblade?
I love to see you using the endless frames! I've my eyes on them for a while, and want to get them as soon as I can splurge a bit 😁
Also, very interesting hearing you are working on your ligaments and tendons! I have an intense patella alta on my left knee and keeping my legs strong help me prevent new dislocations. Last time it dislocated, I was practicing the T stop on my left side, it was not fun at all, and now I stop using only my right side to be secure. I can go down very steep hills with no problems! But swapping the wheels more frequently is a must. MY QUESTION TO YOU FINALLY: do you think these frames help with that? Do they take some of the weight from the knee area?
I learned a lot from your videos, and try to always venture into new challenges even though I have to be extra careful due to my condition 🥰
Yes Emily, fantastic question! The medical benefits of these frames has been profound, I’m currently working though hip flexor/rotator injuries. Experiencing less torque in my joints has allowed for faster recovery. Lees friction on turns and carves makes a difference!! 🙏👊🏼
@@BillStoppard I am happy to hear that! This will definitely be a good investment then. I wish you have a great recovery and continue assaulting the streets! 💪🥰
Any preference between the Endless 80-84 or 90 setup?
Could that rattle be from spacers or bearings? Worth trying powerslide spacers they have different measurements for different colours
my endless frames rattle to . im new to skating so could it be the bearings or spacer ? need to experiment i suppose ?
@@realdoors8955 could be spacers hitting the inner circumference of the wheel when rolling if they are not of correct thickness. Check out video from powerslide on youtube very informative about colour coded spacers they sell. Worth a try.
Have you tried a rocker set up using 2 90mm in the middle and 2 84mm on the front and rear? And if so how does that compare to an ice hockey skate.
Hi man? What is the name of the boot?
I loved flat 84mm setup, however endless suggest to get 90mm if you got 43EU size (it’s 28cm insole).
So now I’m really torn apart which one frame I should buy 😆
Bill what is your skates size? 🤔
I would go with what they recommend as it will offer a bit more stability allowing you to lean forward/back more than with shorter frames. Plus, with the rocker they will be SO nimble compared to a flat frame - it's a world of difference!
Exactly, you really can't compare it to a flat 90mm setup. Going with their recommendation would be a safe bet. Especially considering size 43 is close to 44 (at which point they recommend the even larger ES frame).
I see your comment was like 4 months ago but in case you'd still like some feedback from a fellow big foot skater: I wear a size 46EU and I either roll with the endless 80 or the endless 100, depending on the day. The stability on the 100 is great but the super long frame makes you feel much less agile when skating around obstacles. However, if you're skating really fast, clear areas the 100s feel very good and stable at very high speeds. The Endless 80 frames feel much better when going on a more aggressive BSS type city skate. They are techincally less stable, but I actually feel more confident in them than I do the 100s because of the greatly increased maneuverability. Hope that helps
Hey :-)
Whats the name of the shoe?
Best regards 🌞
Cool video thx
That setup is difficult to improve, 84mm flat works better for me. Had a few speed wobbles while bombing hills with 80mm flat and 90mm flat does work great most of the time whit occasional moments where agility feels limited. Stair rides are less fluid with bigger wheels and I'm used to anti-rocker and make more stability mistakes with rocketed frames. Those boots might be my next investment for skating with extra 4x110 setup for marathon training or I get help because I'm thinking of my 13th pair of skates.
I suggest fully ceramic bearings from Ali Express
What's the advantage you feel from them? Really need to replace my current bearing strategy
Do ceramics hold up to intensive urban skating with jumps and drops and whatnot? I've always been worried I'll shatter them if I tried them out for that kind of skating.
@@jakobc1998 nope zirconium is good I jumped off high spots and I am heavy skater they hold exceptionally well and require minimal to zero effort for maintenance. They also never seize and have a really good roll. Just sound slightly noisier I think.
@@ROT8TED Sweet, thanks for the info. Maybe I'll give ceramics a shot when I need a new set
@@dinoswarleafs Minimal maintenance and exceptional roll, they never seize or rust
Excuse the private question, but what do you do for living? In "real life"?:)
I've had issues after cleaning my inline warehouse bearings where they have issues free spinning after. Has anyone had this issue before and is it fixed with the Sonic Speed 608?
Also I already use hydrogens and the endless frames. About ready to copy this entire setup :)
I've had this issue also - in my experience you have to be pretty meticulous when cleaning them so as not to push dirt out of the bearings and back into them. Something that has helped in the past is also drying them with an air compressor to blow any residual debris out of the bearing race, but it can be a slow process.
As far as I'm aware, the Micro boot is a ripoff (in the truest and ugliest sense of the word) of a Seba design. Why not endorse the original?
Good question. I happened to have a free set of micros around and have been enjoying ‘testing’ them. But your right, I should be looking for a company with original authentic design. I like this style of skate and will be seeking my forever skate from a Skater centred/owned company.
@@BillStoppard Oh, cool. I was wondering why you chose Micro instead of Iqon Tr10 or PS Hardcore Evo Pro. I noticed that a lot of people were recommending those.
Could you please be so kind to review TR10 boots with NN Drago+ frames if you have a chance. Really would love to know your opinion on the boot.
P.s. love your videos 🙏🙏🙏
Cuff area is too wide, gets lots of heel lift
It's wizards skating not speeding skating gentleman
I'm looking forward to the Ernie signature Insta 360 doggie cam. Assuming there's no squirrels, you'll get all the Stay Low shots😂.
Yep... Stopps look very good... What's next city-asault-test?
got the endless 90 lr on a pair of powerslide tau :)
Nice to see you’re sticking with the Micro, it looks like a very nice boot. I’ve been rolling rockered frames a lot recently but I took my flat 3x110 out for a wee session and man did it feel stiff. I felt solid on the straights, and stable on grounded on the sprints, but lost so much manoeuvrability, it was insane!
PS: I’m very jealous of your Batman layer, I could really use a space like that! 👍😁
‘Stiff’ is exactly the feel of flat after rocker! You need a pair! But you’d have the same problem I have in the car park ‘not being reckless with speed!! 😉
I have the Endless 80/84/100 frames on my Seba Carbon with 80mm Hydrogen wheels (mostly) and at 56yo I think I've finally found my perfect setup. Excellent for street skating and inline hockey.
Another excellent account of your findings. I bet you are desperate to get out and skate the city!
I've wanted Endless frames for a while, and this has definitely sold me even more on them. Now I just gotta scrape together the cash >.<
Also, loved the 3 in one. We got to see the skating we love. Cute dog, and bill doing chores around the house =)
