Sorry about forgetting Hockey skates, we had to carry a bunch of skates to the filming spot and one was bound to be forgotten. You guys know we have experience with hockey skates. They're Ricardo's preferred skate and we also Ice skate on this channel. So here's our summary of them in the comments below for anyone interested in picking up a pair. DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS THREAD. I DONT WANT IT TO GET CLUTTERED. ALL COMMENTS WILL BE REMOVED. THANK YOU
-The Boot: The hockey skate boot is totally unique, being a direct transfer from ice hockey. It's a cuff less skate. It also has an integrated liner. They are also light weight. The support it provides is very unique but closest to a freestyle skate. The support and flex provided by a hockey skate is related not only to the boot, but the tongue and lacing. The hockey boot has no straps or buckles and relies entirely on lacing. Because of this the laces run from above the toes to the top of the boot. There are many lace holes an laces are waxed, which plays a major role in adjusting the fit and feel. They provide lots of ankle mobility for speed and agility. They're designed to be strong and rigid as they will take direct hits from hockey pucks and sticks. This can be seen at the hard Toe Cap and tall Achilles Tendon Protector on the back of boot. They are notorious for their break in period which can be difficult.
-The Frames: Hockey frames are mounted very differently from every other inline skate. The mounting method is the same ice hockey boots. They are riveted on to the boot at 14 points. The benefit to this is that they can withstand greater forces without shifting or coming off. 165 mounts found on other skates can shift from all the constant sprinting and hard stops in hockey. The downside is that swapping frames isn't a simple process, so most people take their skates to shop to do so. Hockey frames have a raised heel in the back to pitch you forwards for a speed stance (this does not apply to goalie frames) Frames can come flat (even wheels) or in a high low setup (rear two wheels large than front two) You can also rocker the front wheel up for increased maneuverability.
-Ideal for: - Playing Roller hockey - People who are transitioning from ice to inline who want a familiar feeling boot - medium to high budget ($200-$1000+)
Excellent video guys! I'm from an aggressive skating background but have been getting really into distance / urban skating lately. With the whole pandemic thing going on a lot more people in my area from the trails to the skateparks have been asking me what skates to get to either cover some distance, slow roll with young children, and even a few looking to throw down at the skatepark. I kindly reply "well it depends on what you wanna do and how much you're able to spend". This video does an amazing job explaining the different styles of inline skating and the product differences between the different facets. I try my best to explain the differences but its kind of hard without having every product on me at once. I'll def be sending people a link to this video from here on out. Thanks! - Aaron
After six months of using macroblade soft boots I am starting to consider a pair of hard shell boots, it feels like I have reached the limit with recreational boots.
@Derek Simmons You'd only really perform better at the things hard boots are best at: tricks, jumps, stairs, etc. If I were doing long distance or skating purely for fitness, then I'd take a soft boot any day of the week. Although it depends on what soft boot. The Macroblade 110s are pretty nice. The Zetrablades? A little too entry-level.
i was driving soft boot blades from 12 years old till 16 years old when i finally changed to hard shell boots and i have to say they are still comfy as the soft ones if you chose a 1 size bigger than you currently have. im currently considering buying rb 80's pro and move another step forward and i hope you find yours 😎
Wow thank you so much for a detailed explanation! I'm a total beginner, no experience at all. But I intend to learn and keep skating to get around the city so I feel like an urban/free skate would suit me so much. There arent many skaters in my area so I'm kinda learning and starting out on my own. You guys are a big help!
well said .. for heavy 100kg + and tall people the cuff and base are critical ... so most cheaper skates or soft shells .. they just dont work thats rarely mentioned by reviewers who r more light weight !
I’m shopping for skates and this video gave me a great understanding of the general options. I feel way closer to a decision, probably a marathon type.
Detailed, I enjoyed it. I'm an old skater, so calling ABEC 3 or 5 mediocre hurts. My skates came with abec1.. 3 and 5 were considered a huge upgrade and for someone to have abec 7 was suuuuper rare and they were running Bont and had a shit ton of money.
Perfect explanation! Ciao from Italy. I started skating again after 13 years. I've always used aggressive skates, but now because of my age and the use I'm going to do I bought an entry level urban skates (Micro MT plus). I hope I made a good choice regarding the type.
Thanks for making this video! I have a pair of cracked, worn out, 12 year old beginner skates. I didnt know what to look for but now I can upgrade with confidence!
That's exactly where I am at. I don't remember there being so many options outside of urban, rec, and aggressive. So hard to pick bc I want to skate for distance/pokemon go but also want to get back into hitting up the skate parks now that my daughter is learning to skateboard.
This video is very well-made and informative, thanks! I currently have a pair of Rollerblade Maxxums with a removable insert, a hard plastic shell, 3 x 100mm and 1 x 90mm wheels which seem pretty soft, as I have been doing a bit too many t-stops, wearing them down. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for urban skates now, as they seem like they'd be the best way to get around my college campus.
What an Awesome Video presentation. So complete and so well detailed. Great job Michael & Mike. You two should open a skate shop...even if it's only online !!! Kudos !
I bought a pair of aggressive inline skates because I wanted to learn to do some tricks. but by the time spent, I realised I also wanted to do some distances too but it was so hard to turn with it so I was thinking about changing the wheels. I know that it's not the best, but money wise I think this was the best thing to do instead of buying a new set of inline skates. thank you for all those important informations that can help a lot of people
Super detailed and made my day watching you two interact. I feel so less intimated now. Thanks, guys! Excited to get my new skates now that I know what to look for! 🥳
Hey There Skate Bros!!! Thanks for the Edumacation!! I havent hit the pavement on blades since i was a teen. Im looking to get back in it. Mostly for exercise and just to get out and enjoy some fresh air. This is very helpful, so i Appreciate your time and your insight. Thank you and Have a Rad day Texas in the house!!!
You know, it is the internet, and people love correcting other, but there is a marathon skate with liner, which is the 2019 Powerslide World Cup. It is super awesome: It comes standard with a 2nd Skin liner on a carbon base, and 3x125 wheels. You can replace it, I actually skate mine with an, I kid you not, USD basic liner from my old Sway, because my ankle can't bear harder liners. So basically it is a carbon rec/fitness skate for me, whit what I do long distances.
We made general statements it says it in a disclaimer on the bottom of the video. Things will always vary here and there. But If there's 1 skate out of 100 that differs it not worth mentioning. It would take forever to cover then. Lol. Thanks for the input
Great video! I like that you stop to explain everything you talk about so that people who don't know much about inlines can follow you. You didn't mention the off-road inlines with inflatable wheels though, I thought you were going to say something about those.
Great video and good info, was looking for information about the other options beside aggressive skates and learned alot here even after 15 years of skating! Aggressive skates with a big wheel UFS frame are called powerblades, they can be fun in a bowl or for jumping big gaps. Urban/Freeskate frames are to stiff for big gaps and they break, yet I do like the urban skates more for a skate around the city.
thank you so much for this video! It's super comprehensive and really really helpful in deciding what skates i need right now! I appreciate it a lot, thank you both!
I watched a video of a 34-year-old guy learning how to rollerblade and I've always loved rollerblading I've just been two shots to pick it up and now I really want to learn how to do it again but I also do tricks and I don't know which pair to get so pretty glad I found this video but I'm also really sad cuz I can't do anything yet because there's like 6 in of snow on the ground so I have to wait a while till it melts😭
Bro, that helped out A LOT! Word iz bon, you fellas did a great job of making this very simple to understand. I've been going through it with searching!
I just need to wait for the trend to come back, then pick up a new pair and swap on better wheels. I need a pair in every room! Lol. I have 2 pairs, 1 really old and 1 newer. The old one has a hot spot but the new one strains my ankle (less stability, soft boot too soft). I need a cheap pair like I used to in high school, I think it was $19.99 from Walmart. Wheels were sh|t but they were fine for streets. I need a cheap pair for street use and trying grinds.
You forgot the Trinity Mounting System, which is very nice. I have the Next Pro 110, and I can recommend it. Although there can be some pressure points, but the heatmoldable recall liner does its job.
I somehow didnt find yall before i bought mine. I wanted to learn grinding and stuff and got the wrong skates basiclly. Ill get the right ones later as i can use these more casually. Thx for the vid thoguh ^^
Thanks for the video. Great timing. I always had hockey skates, but want to ride urban. Hockey skates for that purpose are tough because the do not absorb bumps and other pitfalls.
@@BINY_Channel It is all good. You really expand ones knowledge. Greatly appreciated. Hockey skates, Bauer's, CCM, and/or Mission. Mission boots are fantastic. Probably the best boot. I'd rather spend more on footwear/skates because you only have 1 pair of feet. Saving up for a pair of good urban skates. Need a hard boot to protect ankles. The Freestyle skate you guys alluded to look solid too, but am not completely certain as the cuff of the boot (that is what it is called, right?) appears to be too flexible. Thanks a ton for your guys' effort in putting this together. Would love to ride with you guys when I am in NY. Need skates though. Maybe this decade they'll be available again.
Thanks for the info! I’m shopping for skates and almost bought some cheap ones. I’m looking at some nicer ones now because of your video (200-300). I like the urban 3x110 setup because I’ll be mostly on bike paths. Got any strong recommendations in that category?
Im very new to this myself but I've heard a lot of good things about FR skates(I think it's the brand they showed for Urban skates). Also Rollerblade has Twister Edge and RB110. I'm sure more experienced people can help more though lol
I played inline hockey for many years so I always had hockey skates.. but I'm looking for a skate that I can use at the roller rink, hit the streets and play hockey with and also would love to do some jumps and small light tricks.. Need something versatile for all of that. Any recommendations. Lol
Not mentioned , hockey skates have a lot of ankle room because in hockey they wear shin pads the shin pad runs from the top of the ankle up the shin and covers the knee , the shin pad while on the person fits inside the top part of the skate wear the laces can wrap around the top of the boot and shin pad providing extra support if needed. Otherwise the hockey skate gives no ankle support.
Do any inline skates come with a more rounded toe box or at least a wider boot for people who do not want to develop bunions(dislocation of big toe) or people who are already trying to heal/strengthen their feet from a bunion? I'm frustrated by the whole narrow toe box shoes/skates, as are many people struggling with strengthening their feet. Many online shopping do not show the skate from that top angle so we could see how wide/narrow the boot is on the foot. So frustrating!!
THEY SHOULD OF PUT THE LINK TO THE ROLLER BLADES ON HERE. OTHER WISE IT WAS A VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO. I WANNA SK8 NOW SINCE NOW ONE KNOW HOS TO ROLLERBLADE IN CALIFORNIA
I've had my hockey rollerblade for two years now I bought it because I've tried a beginner rollerblade and I didn't like how it felt, it was so soft and it couldn't support me like the hockey skates. So the problem with hockey rollerblade is that i can only use it to a short distance and my feet would hurt already if I don't stop for a break. so I'm thinking of buying a new rollerblade and thanks to you guys Now i have an idea of what i want. I think I'm gonna be going with the urban skates.
Urban freestyle Marathon and also oversized Wheels off-road skates are the types that would be looking for I'm in Southeast PA and I cannot find a place to have skates I don't want k2s and I don't want soft boots
As a 48 year old who began skating 13 months ago and has skated 3 to 6 times a week every single week for a total of 1000 to 1100 miles since I began on an entry level Rollerblade Zetrablade skates the number one thing I hate about these are the velcro 45 degree straps. I need a buckle. I think 4 by 80 to 4 by 90 freeskates are exactly what I want. I have swapped out the soft wheels for 85As that last 4 times as long on my mostly asphalt usage. My biggest issue in a new purchase is I have short and wide feet and no stores around my area to assist me other than Dicks which only had 2 different models of Rollerblades and no one who knew anything about skating at all to help. I had to get 1 and 1/2 size bigger on my skates to make it work and they were still too narrow giving me off and on nerve pain until I made an adjustment to the laces (skipped 1 hole on the outer side of the widest part of my foot) and added some additional foam padding inside. For a hard shell I am probably going to have to get a pair that support at least some ability to do heat molding.
looking for something for going down the shoulder of the highway but can still maneuver around town, used to like the K2 moto back in the 90s, the wheels did wear out quick
Hi can u talk about the best skates for outdoor on asphalt and concrete .. what wheels.. size, hardness … for trails or streets… are 3 wheels or 4 wheels best a .. hard boot or soft … are there companies that do outdoor skates best .. for 1-2 times a week distance ??. Wheels That can go over cracks . Small rocks … absorb vibration … even if the wheel doesn’t last long….. name it …..so long as it creates a smooth ride …should I invest in wheels or a particular type of high end skate that come with great wheels . Thanku for your speedy reply …
Do you know how to backward skate and if you do can you possibly come out with a video of it? I’m just trying to gather more knowledge on backward skating from different videos and people so when I get my skates I can practice it but I don’t quite know the right form because all the videos had different ways of doing it.
I'm late but this is good video. I just started roller blading again I got some roller derby brand blades. I THINK they are recreational but they have hard shell all around the boot. They aren't the best but good for someone learning. I'd like to skate more often on the street a few times a week as I get better, should I upgrade to a good quality freestyle skate next? Those marathon skates look fun too.
What kind of skates would you recommend for a previous ice? Figure skater. I like to skate recreationally, sometimes I distance, and I like to do some small turns and jumps and cross overs. my previous case for Rock and I removed the brakes, but my current ones are not modified at all and I’m finding them a bit limited. They are just a K2 soft food.
good video bring me up to date, thank you. I haven't Rollerblade since 2003 last time. I started mid 90s to 2003. Do we still have shops sell bearing etc or the skate them self??
Would hockey style inline skates be good for recreational skating ? I like the style of them and i want to get back into skating. Im just not sure if I should get them or something else.. 🤔
@@BINY_Channel yeah ive heard that, my foot is size 44 i know alot of people are considering foot length into their setup to decide 4x80 or 4x90 etc but im not really sure what would be considered optimal for my foot length.
When your foot is on the larger side you should consider frame length also. You can get a 4x80/90 at longer frame lengths , which will space out the wheels more making it a better fit to your boot size. Don't go bigger wheel but rather longer frame
I’m in my late 20’s and never tried skating before but want to play roller hockey eventually. That said, should I go for hockey skates or something else until I get used to skating?
I didn't cover hockey skates in this video (I forgot to bring a pair, there was alot to carrry) but I did pin a comment covering the details below. If you ultimate plan to play roller hockey then you should get hockey skates.

Sorry about forgetting Hockey skates, we had to carry a bunch of skates to the filming spot and one was bound to be forgotten. You guys know we have experience with hockey skates. They're Ricardo's preferred skate and we also Ice skate on this channel. So here's our summary of them in the comments below for anyone interested in picking up a pair. DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS THREAD. I DONT WANT IT TO GET CLUTTERED. ALL COMMENTS WILL BE REMOVED. THANK YOU
Hockey Skates are design for Roller Hockey which means they must be light and agile while also being strong and armored
-The Boot:
The hockey skate boot is totally unique, being a direct transfer from ice hockey. It's a cuff less skate. It also has an integrated liner. They are also light weight. The support it provides is very unique but closest to a freestyle skate. The support and flex provided by a hockey skate is related not only to the boot, but the tongue and lacing. The hockey boot has no straps or buckles and relies entirely on lacing. Because of this the laces run from above the toes to the top of the boot. There are many lace holes an laces are waxed, which plays a major role in adjusting the fit and feel. They provide lots of ankle mobility for speed and agility. They're designed to be strong and rigid as they will take direct hits from hockey pucks and sticks. This can be seen at the hard Toe Cap and tall Achilles Tendon Protector on the back of boot. They are notorious for their break in period which can be difficult.
-The Frames:
Hockey frames are mounted very differently from every other inline skate. The mounting method is the same ice hockey boots. They are riveted on to the boot at 14 points. The benefit to this is that they can withstand greater forces without shifting or coming off. 165 mounts found on other skates can shift from all the constant sprinting and hard stops in hockey. The downside is that swapping frames isn't a simple process, so most people take their skates to shop to do so. Hockey frames have a raised heel in the back to pitch you forwards for a speed stance (this does not apply to goalie frames) Frames can come flat (even wheels) or in a high low setup (rear two wheels large than front two) You can also rocker the front wheel up for increased maneuverability.
-Ideal for:
- Playing Roller hockey
- People who are transitioning from ice to inline who want a familiar feeling boot
- medium to high budget ($200-$1000+)
You can sometimes buy a brake for them. They are generally not included as they are intermediate , not beginners skates
Comprehensive and detailed. This is probably one of the best guides to inline skates.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Please subscribe and check out our other videos
Great video. Where in NYC I could buy marathon skates? Which brand would you recommend?
Unfortunately the only skates you can find in local shops are either recreational or urban skates. For speed/marathon you'll have to shop online.

Thanks for the info! I’m shopping for skates and almost bought some cheap ones. I’m looking at some nicer ones now because of your video (200-300). I like the urban 3x110 setup because I’ll be mostly on bike paths. Got any strong recommendations in that category?
Im very new to this myself but I've heard a lot of good things about FR skates(I think it's the brand they showed for Urban skates). Also Rollerblade has Twister Edge and RB110. I'm sure more experienced people can help more though lol
I played inline hockey for many years so I always had hockey skates.. but I'm looking for a skate that I can use at the roller rink, hit the streets and play hockey with and also would love to do some jumps and small light tricks.. Need something versatile for all of that. Any recommendations. Lol
Not mentioned , hockey skates have a lot of ankle room because in hockey they wear shin pads the shin pad runs from the top of the ankle up the shin and covers the knee , the shin pad while on the person fits inside the top part of the skate wear the laces can wrap around the top of the boot and shin pad providing extra support if needed. Otherwise the hockey skate gives no ankle support.
Getting back into the game and just ordered zetrablades 4x 125mm. I’m thinking about going with a 3 wheel instead.
Do any inline skates come with a more rounded toe box or at least a wider boot for people who do not want to develop bunions(dislocation of big toe) or people who are already trying to heal/strengthen their feet from a bunion? I'm frustrated by the whole narrow toe box shoes/skates, as are many people struggling with strengthening their feet. Many online shopping do not show the skate from that top angle so we could see how wide/narrow the boot is on the foot. So frustrating!!
Unfortunately, this changes from model to model of skate. If you can, always try skates on first at a local shop
The best and most detailed video thank you 😊
Thank you so so much guys, for this informative video!
Thank you! Now I know which skates I want
Can you do a video on hockey skates and if they are good for the street and long trips?
Also, the best all around skate recommdation
I find the K2 ILQ7 or 9's roll really well compared to Wicked bearings.
THEY SHOULD OF PUT THE LINK TO THE ROLLER BLADES ON HERE. OTHER WISE IT WAS A VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO. I WANNA SK8 NOW SINCE NOW ONE KNOW HOS TO ROLLERBLADE IN CALIFORNIA
Could you possibly do a video on urban skates and where to get them without spending 500 dollars??
Also getting back into roller blading. Looking for some Urban skates for a 40 year old.
Il have to think about new roller blades after this video alot
I've had my hockey rollerblade for two years now I bought it because I've tried a beginner rollerblade and I didn't like how it felt, it was so soft and it couldn't support me like the hockey skates. So the problem with hockey rollerblade is that i can only use it to a short distance and my feet would hurt already if I don't stop for a break. so I'm thinking of buying a new rollerblade and thanks to you guys Now i have an idea of what i want. I think I'm gonna be going with the urban skates.
The best most detailed video thanks ❤
This is so helpful! Thanks!
Urban freestyle Marathon and also oversized Wheels off-road skates are the types that would be looking for I'm in Southeast PA and I cannot find a place to have skates I don't want k2s and I don't want soft boots
As a 48 year old who began skating 13 months ago and has skated 3 to 6 times a week every single week for a total of 1000 to 1100 miles since I began on an entry level Rollerblade Zetrablade skates the number one thing I hate about these are the velcro 45 degree straps. I need a buckle. I think 4 by 80 to 4 by 90 freeskates are exactly what I want. I have swapped out the soft wheels for 85As that last 4 times as long on my mostly asphalt usage. My biggest issue in a new purchase is I have short and wide feet and no stores around my area to assist me other than Dicks which only had 2 different models of Rollerblades and no one who knew anything about skating at all to help. I had to get 1 and 1/2 size bigger on my skates to make it work and they were still too narrow giving me off and on nerve pain until I made an adjustment to the laces (skipped 1 hole on the outer side of the widest part of my foot) and added some additional foam padding inside. For a hard shell I am probably going to have to get a pair that support at least some ability to do heat molding.
Where’s the best place to buy skates in NYC? Awesome video!!
We only have one dedicated inline shop in NYC keskate.com/shop otherwise it's sporting goods stores like Paragon Sports or Panda Sports
@@BINY_Channel schweet I’ll check them out!
Thank you so much guys🙏 great video🙌
looking for something for going down the shoulder of the highway but can still maneuver around town, used to like the K2 moto back in the 90s, the wheels did wear out quick
thank you for the informative video guys!
thanks for explaining
You're welcome!
Hi can u talk about the best skates for outdoor on asphalt and concrete .. what wheels.. size, hardness … for trails or streets… are 3 wheels or 4 wheels best a .. hard boot or soft … are there companies that do outdoor skates best .. for 1-2 times a week distance ??. Wheels That can go over cracks . Small rocks … absorb vibration … even if the wheel doesn’t last long….. name it …..so long as it creates a smooth ride …should I invest in wheels or a particular type of high end skate that come with great wheels . Thanku for your speedy reply …
This is very informative thanks alot
Great work you two
Do you know how to backward skate and if you do can you possibly come out with a video of it? I’m just trying to gather more knowledge on backward skating from different videos and people so when I get my skates I can practice it but I don’t quite know the right form because all the videos had different ways of doing it.
Great job guys !!!!!!
There’s a new skate type that’s a Big Urban skate. Check out the Powerslide Next 110 Charcoal.
speaking of frames what boot would be best for mounting 5 wheel frames and a boot that i could mount those frames too
Finallly ! Now is all
Clear !!
This was great!! Thank you!!
Glad we could help. Please check out our other content and subscribe.
Nice TA boys cheers
Brilliant video!
I'm late but this is good video. I just started roller blading again I got some roller derby brand blades. I THINK they are recreational but they have hard shell all around the boot. They aren't the best but good for someone learning. I'd like to skate more often on the street a few times a week as I get better, should I upgrade to a good quality freestyle skate next? Those marathon skates look fun too.
If you're skating around in the city stick to freestyle / urban
@@BINY_Channel thank you!!! Hope you all are doing well.
What kind of skates would you recommend for a previous ice? Figure skater. I like to skate recreationally, sometimes I distance, and I like to do some small turns and jumps and cross overs. my previous case for Rock and I removed the brakes, but my current ones are not modified at all and I’m finding them a bit limited. They are just a K2 soft food.
this was literary so helpful thank you!
Glad we could help. Dont forget to leave a like and subscribe. Thanks
nope never seen yall, im here cause ive been looking into inline cause of jet set radio
get yourself some aggressive skates bro 💪💪💪
good video bring me up to date, thank you. I haven't Rollerblade since 2003 last time. I started mid 90s to 2003. Do we still have shops sell bearing etc or the skate them self??
Yeah. But it's all online. You're extremely lucky to have a local shop
@@BINY_Channel thank you for your reply. Man, I miss the 90s.
Would hockey style inline skates be good for recreational skating ? I like the style of them and i want to get back into skating. Im just not sure if I should get them or something else.. 🤔
Super helpful! Thank you!
great video¡¡¡¡ urban skates 4 x 80 are the best combo for pump truck''?? (advanced roller)
Very informative. I'm shopping for skates and you guys provided all the info I need!
Good video but im wondering for urban/town/city rough street/side walk skating what do you recommend? Im thinking fr1 325s but idk.
Thats definitely a good choice. 125 might be over kill for urban. 110s should do
@@BINY_Channel yeah but im just thinking abt busting my ass on cracks etc lol if i did a 4 wheel setup for that same purpose what would u do
I never ride over 4 × 90-80 for urban. Good technique will help you overcome bad pavement more than larger wheels
@@BINY_Channel yeah ive heard that, my foot is size 44 i know alot of people are considering foot length into their setup to decide 4x80 or 4x90 etc but im not really sure what would be considered optimal for my foot length.
When your foot is on the larger side you should consider frame length also. You can get a 4x80/90 at longer frame lengths , which will space out the wheels more making it a better fit to your boot size. Don't go bigger wheel but rather longer frame
Thanks!
I’m in my late 20’s and never tried skating before but want to play roller hockey eventually. That said, should I go for hockey skates or something else until I get used to skating?
I didn't cover hockey skates in this video (I forgot to bring a pair, there was alot to carrry) but I did pin a comment covering the details below. If you ultimate plan to play roller hockey then you should get hockey skates.
