The real difference between 4 wheels and 3 wheels is 1 wheel.
😂
😂😂😂
Nice one😂
Nice answer
Satisfied 😀
HAHHAHHHAHA
ok after watching this, I think I am ready for one wheel...
he has a new video out, after that youll be good to skate with just the frame. i believe in you
Haha. I just ordered my beginner stakes (with a stopper) about 3 days ago and I'm just watching this videos to help my impatience
😂😂😂😂
@@jmkaccessories u dont even need a frame to skate at this point 😂😂😂😂
You mean 8 wheels...? Bc.. More wheels = ez
Less wheels = hard
I started when I was 73 years old, now im 88 and I think im ready for 3 wheels
Are you serious?
Maybe when you grow up😂
Ghosts Are Real wow nice dude
WHAT
Dam God bless 😱
Hi Tiago, I think you have forgotten one of the most important differences: the kind of floor you are going to skate on. In my opinion, triskates are much more suitable for skating on a rugged floor like streets, whereas 4 wheels are better for smooth floors because they are more stable. If you want to do urban skate on your town's streets and pavements triskates are recommended. But it's true, they are a little more difficult to handle, so you must have a little experience.
I live in a city (italy) where we don't have a street that isn't ruined or that doesen't go up and down
And we all tried triskates (we are experienced enough) but it really didn't go well. I think that it can be dangerous triskating in not-so-perfect street and cities that are not flat
@@rgb181 You're right. I hadn't taken it into account because I live in Valencia, a completely flat town. Anyway, slopes are dangerous even with 4 wheels.
@@jorgezoilorodriguezbarreir1676
Yeah, It's dangerous but we don't have the choice...when you get used to it it's very fun!
I was hesitating in saying this in the video but I decided to mention this in a next video about Wheels :)
@@TiagoInlineSkater Great!
I started 4 months ago. Your videos are very useful to me. I am 46 years old, I might try 3 wheels before 50, 😀
Yay! go for it!! 😁
That's fine, i started less than a year ago, i am 45
Do it 3x 100 mm in 231mm are the best for commuting and tricks 110 + 125 are more for cruising
I'm 34. I feel better now lol

Summary:
4 wheels - Beginner
3 wheels - Advanced
yes, but actually no
1 wheel - legendary
@@pandamilkshake Heely’s are for the pros 😂
@@mcmaleny Definatelly
i feel like 3 wheels is for beginners bc the shock is absorbed and it's easier to go faster longer...rides are smoother. less work.
'Should beginners start with tri skates? Yes'...'It's gonna be dangerous for you' ;)
the tri-skate area
I just.. wow.. thank you for this.
Every time I watch your videos (during work) they make me want to go out to skate soon. Never lose your style, excellent channel.
Wow, rollerblades have changed big time since the 90's LOL Damn I feel old now! Thanks for the information brotha, I gotta get back on inline skates, it was great exercise.
Welcome back! ✌🏼😎
I was an avid inline skater in the early 90s...I was in 8th grade! I'm ready to get back into it. May the Force be with me and my broken body.
@@ConsumerFanatics Same thing over here.. lets get back.. hahaha
As someone who just got back into the skating life last year, this was very helpful. Thank you!!
As someone who used to very casually skate the usual 4 x 80, it's great to know the difference in configurations!
Thanks for the simplified rundown and helping me get back into skating after a little break!
I wanna play jet set radio now.
Sameeee
The concept of love
Understand understand, the concept, the concept, of love.
ive always wanted to buy rollerskates and jet set radio made me actually buy them, i can kinda rollerskate now??
Jet Set Radio was where I fell in love with rollerblades, graffiti, and funky beats.
There in France you have the BEST inline community! Thanks to your videos I discovered Inline and I choose my first pair of real skates (I mean, I learned to slide on my old decathlon skates, and the move destroyed them)
Thanks for the passion you put in your videos Tiago! (And for the useful tips)
Love from italy!
Hi Tiago, I'm 61 yrs old, just a baby after reading UP's comment below (!)...but I just wanted to say all your advice has helped me a lot...been on my 'full rocker' 4 wheel 72/76mm Chinese copy skates just 2 days, they are not too bad...a bit tight perhaps, but I'm rolling, albeit pretty slowly, ha ha. Taking it slowly, a real beginner. I had perhaps 15 hours 20 years ago on ice skates, and so I'm starting from scratch on blades essentially. So far so good....my wheels light up (they work like a light brake) which helps moderate my speed, so looks great and keeps me sloooooow. Thanks for your content....all very professionally produced, unlike some. You are inspiring, so you achieve your goal....keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the great description! Getting back on the wheels after 20 years! Been thinking to get back for 2 years, but my partner said "More gear?". I was doubtful and stupid coz since Ice Skating last winter my passion has been burning and I should have done it earlier! cant wait, think i am headed for 3 wheels, basics are still in the bag ;) I was the skating queen back in the day!
Very well thought out video, Tiago! In my opinion you touched most important points. Just switched to 3 wheels and it's kick ass but finding it much harder to slide than on my 4x80.
Wow you remind me of that kid in rocket power lol
If Moss (IT Crowd) had a kid..that's who he reminds me of.
I learned on a 100mm tri skate set up and am very happy with their performance. I was doing 15mph on day 4 which was fun but not safe as I couldn't really stop.
Have you figured out how to stop? I’m working on stopping myself
@@victoriapfingsten3402 t stop is a basic stop perfect for beginners to learn. Dunno if you still need this info but it’s here for anyone who does
@@friedchicken3242 also mount a heel brake! especially when you are skating in a city sometimes it will be packed. children, dogs, cyclists etc. best to have a very reliable braking method that requires no spacious manveuvers and you don't risk crashing into something or someone.
@@phqnomenon personally I hate heel brakes
@@friedchicken3242 same
Hate it with a passion
I’ve skated for 11 years on aggressive four wheel skates, I’ve just bought a pair of tri wheel GC frames with 110mm wheels, being quite experienced when it comes to skating the tri-wheel was the best bet for me! I most definitely recommend going tri-wheel as it’s a smoother ride and a higher ride height overall!
I have a 4x80mm FR1, a rockered (76,80,80,76) FR1, the FR1 3x110 tri-skate, and just lately, a Wizard NR100 setup, love them all!
I am an experienced ice skater. And was looking for something that’s very forgiving on uneven urban surface. 3 wheel 110’s were perfect! Also if you’re a super beginner getting a back stopper is a must for any rollerblades you get
110 is biggest diameter you can find i think? And can you rate me out of ten how close rollerblades 3 x 110 comes close to ice skating?
@@bamf6603 wheel diameter goes all the way up to 150mm :)
I just use light posts, mail box and pedestrians for stopping power
There was a vibe in this video that really reminded me of air gear. I liked it a lot!
Great quick explanation. I've been blading for around 25 years and have decided to now try a TRI skate. Will research more. Thanks for explaining. 😃
Love these videos. Went back to blading recently after five years, and I'm still shaky but loving it! There aren't many skaters where I live- it's only me, so these videos make me feel like part of a community 😊 keep doing you
i feel you mate. i just ordered rollerblades and i'm on my own.
I feel the both of you.
Hahaha
It's just me in my city.
"That I know of"
I started with the four-wheel skates, and I recently bought the tri skates. It's been hard to turn with them, and it was rough to do tricks with them. I am way more agile with four, but I do love the tri skates. They also make you taller and faster 🤪
oh yea i love beeing so tall xD
Great vid! Im considering to start rollerblading and your vids are really helpful!
Real informative and amazing clips. Your sense of balance is amazing man. keep up the groove !
i started skating on 2013 all i was doing during thay year was just moving forward and just gliding when i found your channel i can already do tricks and understand more about inline skates that it makes depressed without it so im so happy to find your channel😋😄
omg 😭❤️ Thank you!
@@TiagoInlineSkater Your welcome😁😁im just really happy to find this channel since i was looking and searching about inline skates😄 love your channel😍😘
I spent a couple of years on a beginner pair of skates (Zetrablade 4 wheel skates), until I felt comfortable enough with my skills, and to remove the brake. I recently upgraded to a pair of FR1 310 triskates and I love them!
Great advice! Thanks for the informative videos!
I just got a pair of zeterblades. How well did they hold up?
Very insightful, well explained and illustrated! Thank you Tiago 🙏
Happy with my 4x 80mm as a beginner at the moment. But might get 3x larger mm in the future when I want to skate distances, especially for cross country skiing training!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos they make me want to go out straight after and skate.
Thank you, this helped with my decision to not buy three wheeled skates as I am a casual skater, I just like going faster
After this Covid-19 lockdown is lifted I've decided I'm going to buy some In-line skates for getting around my home-town. As a complete beginner this video was actully really helpful! I'm 6" and would like a bit of speed as well as maneuverability. What I've taken from this video, 4 wheels around 90mm would be the best place to start.
Just a beginner, few days on skates, but I like your reasoning. Glad I got 4 x 80's
Thanks man
i haven't skated in years and I just got 3 wheeled skates and have no problem at all with stability, I love these skates.
what brand/model?
Same, I used to skit a lot as a teenager. So I went straight to 3 wheels and didnt have any issues. Muscle memory I guess
I also learned on 4x80mm but my favorite setup nowadays is trinity 3x110 mm
Me to
my favorite is 3x100 on 231mm frame , I have tested 3x110mm 243mm frame and it was not as manuevarable as I desired . I also have 215mm frame for 3x100 wheels and that is just crazy how quickly they turn, insane (Frame is made for hockey, slalom)! But they are not as stable in high speed. All trinity frames of course.
4x80 was my beginning, one short time i had 4x76 i refused using them because they where so slow, than 4x84 4x90 (which i didnt like the high weight and the really long frame i had in the past)
Then i went for 3x110 after i found out how much easier it was to drive with 4x90 on cobblestone streets inside of our historical cities...
I started 4days ago and i love it sooooo mutch i never wanr to ride my skateboard again this feels mutch more contebol but i mostely ride skatepark
Thanks man, I’m trying to figure out what skates to get as a beginner and this definitely helped me decide.
Thanks bro! People like you and Bill Stoppard, really make me want to pick up inline skating again. I'm going to order a pair soon
Hi! I consider myself a mediocre skater, so I was wondering which ones would be better. I can keep my balance really well on a 4 weel of 76 mm and I also do some tricks such as step overs, going backwards, power stops and spins. I do value speed, but I wonder if you think I'll manage to keep my balance on 3 weels, preferably 110s
I used to own 4 big wheels when I was a kid. I missed skating so much T-T I need to practice again before trying a 3 wheels
After probably more than 15 years since last time I went skating (I'm 34 now), yesterday I found my inline skates at my parents house. I was surprised how quick I was back on the wheels and especially how quick the muscle memory came back again! No big problem at all, just a bit trying and adjusting, listening to what my body says, and then I found myself skating in the streets around the village here for one hour and around 15 kilometres. That was a big surprise, and a lot of fun too! 🙂
After many frames and going back and forth between tri skates and 4 wheels I’ve found my self back on 4x80 and I’m loving it.
you can tell this dude doesn't hesitate to tell everyone his suggestions. this guy is AWESOME!!!!
OMG, I needed this video ... Thanks man
you're welcome! 😁
Tiago (Your) French Inline Rapper .
eddie 🤣✌🏼 Yo!
@@TiagoInlineSkater With strong Brasilian accent :)
Thanks dude. I’ve been off skates for about 10 yrs and I was pretty good killing hills. Fast forward I’m now 38 and have 3 kiddos and this helped me decide. Gonna stick to 4 wheels for now and then upgrade.
Thank you very much for this video Tiago! Congratulations from Brazil!
I literally just got sent my tri-wheel skates and I’m a beginner and now I’m just wondering if I should return it or not
What did you do ? Am a beginner too and i am confused.
I think I'm gonna buy tri skates, I've been skating since I was a kid but it's been a few years now. I never learned stops or tricks but I think I can manage and learn especially since tri skates are good for rough terrain which is better. 👍
Nice video. Good points. Great work going over the other setups Tiago!
Four wheels are definitely best for beginners in my perspective.
The Inline Guy Thank you! :)
Great video my guy! Nice moves as well. After skating for so many years on 4 wheels (and sometimes 2 at the park), I am picking up a 3x110 UFS frame setup for my current skates. Looking forward to the speed.
I'm learning on 3x100 on a trinity mount. First couple weeks were SCARY with how quickly they can pick up speed on an incline. I have to say overall I'm happy to be learning on tri's because I figure when I get a 4x80 setup later, I'll just feel all the more stable and comfortable learning more advanced things at that point.
I used quads when i was 4-15 now a little older. Thinking if i should get some inlines mhmm
Totally agree that small 4 wheels setup is the best to learn basic skills, but I reckon 100-110mm Trinity 3 wheels setup has no significant difference in control, and rather better to learn correct edge control (which edge you are on).
You're right I changed from 4x90 UFS to 3x125 trinity lately, the 3 wheel setup is great in manouverability (short frame) on the middle pivot wheel. E.g. for me, trying slides is much easier on 3skates. As Ricardo Lino said few months ago, there is a big difference in the leverage with big wheels as the feet are higher above ground. After few months I still struggle with boot lacing and top buckle on my Nexts, it's never the same, sometimes very bad for handling and I get blisters and bruises from the boot after longer ride.
Second thing is inertia - 4x90 is slower at similar pace but it reacts instantly to change of pace, with 3x125 setup you have to "plan in advance" accordingly. When an uphill part comes, it's better to change pace few seconds before, otherwise it is quite hard to get the speed back. Same with starts, to get similar speed after few strides, you have to push harder. On the downhills (I do only slight slopes) with triskates I need to decelerate earlier as they keep the speed once they got fast-but I keep trying slides that slow down quickly that makes the ride generally faster ;-) But the speed is great even on that short frame...
Subscribed! I'm going to start skating in the spring time, I'm excited.
I used to inline speed skate and I’m just now getting back into it. When I used to skate, 3 wheels were basically just for kids but now it’s used for adult marathons and such. So I’ve been debating building a 3 or 4 wheel speed skate but I think I’m still gonna stick with 4x110. Thanks for the info!
Well said.
The last time I drove inline skates was 5 years ago. Why am I watching this? 😂ok UA-cam algorithm
I've never done it so...
15ish years here... yet I’m still watchin’ :)
10 years here bro
You are watching it only because you have clicked on it

As someone inexperienced hearing this explanation for the first time, i found this video super informative and easy to understand. Liked and subscribed. Wish me luck with my new 80s
Just found your channel, so entertaining and informative. Thinking of giving inline skating a go, last time I touched a pair of skates I was about 7. I'm 23 now and im fairly decent at ice skating with hockey skates. Thanks for giving me some info on buying my first pair!
i’ve been roller skating since i could walk but i’ve never heard of 2,3,5, or 6 skates before 😂
Lol me too never heard of a difference between the amount of wheels
and you are only 12?
@@GGGamesBA ?
I can't even stop on pebbled asphalt road and look at you lol
Thank you for the video. I’ll definitely start with the 4 wheels as you’ve suggested. But for sure I’ll graduate to the 3 wheel skates.
I used to skate as a kid, both skate board and roller skates.
So looking forward to this again!!
Love your energy! Def subscribing! :)
my dream skates are triskates. Specifically the powerslide Swells. I just like how they look and how many colors they come in. However i feel like triskate wheels are going to be pricey $$$. but alot of triskates look really fashionable
Jokerr Fox The swells sure look nice! specially the new 2019 version :) this also means that the 2018 versions will be cheaper :)
Due to an accident my legs are uneven (1.7 cm difference). Skating on my 4x80mm hurts my lower back after a while due to being uneven. I was thinking about doing 3 x 110 and 3 or 4 x96-ish on the other foot.... that should get me close enough; however, I wasn't sure if that would be screwy (don't care how it looks, just care about how maneuverability will be with mixed sized wheels). Any thoughts? I wanted to try larger wheels than 80s because the streets around me are pretty rough, and I am hoping to smooth things out a bit with larger wheels.
1.7 cm doesn't sound like a lot to me, can't you just build a little bit of wood or plastic between the shoe and the frame which holds the wheels?
This might not be super helpful to beginners, but here's my skate wheel progression. I just bought a pair of tris about a week ago now (the latest Seba High Light skates fit my wide/weird foot perfectly) and I instantly absolutely loved them. They're already 3 x 100 for my foot length, but I can go up to 110 if I'm keen. This is after years of only having been on 4 wheels daily in my early teens to a big gap of not skating in between - about 15 years I'd say. Starting back again on 4 wheels recently with probably a solid year mostly practicing skills on those. Had a few months or so 'off' - partly because my skates didn't really fit anymore and have just now upgraded(?) to three wheels. I had imagined I'd be unstable, but I found them really sturdy, comfortable, maneuverable and was super surprised. Though I wasn't a complete beginner, I'm quite good at not falling and have naturally good balance. All contirbuting factors I'm sure. I don't think that would have been the case if I used tris from the start (though I'm sure they weren't available back then).
I just ordered K2 BOA with 84mm wheals, sounds like a win size )
I just ordered those, how are they
Hello Tiago!. Gabriel here. Huh, well, I'm looking for new skates. I like speed skating but I would like to try new things like slalom/ freestyle. The problem is that I don't want to spend in 2 pairs, so, is there a hybrid between speed skate and a slalom skate?
Those triskates from the video could be useful for what I want?
I know this was a while ago but if you are starting stuff like freestyle and slaloms then I would suggest starting with 4 wheel inline skates around 4x76 or 4x80 and then maybe if you still want to then maybe get the triskates because I know from personal experience that you can still go fast in 4 wheel skates because I have 4x76 in my blades and I can get up to around 30-35 mph on a slight hill
Very helpful. Thanks Tiago.
Great information. I like that you had "Your opinion" but, still gave all around facts on all the choices. Thank You Sir.
Hmmm, I would have like to try those 3 wheels skates, as I LOVE speed, I kinda regret not buying them right away, I did not trust them when I saw them and got myself a classic 4 * 90. I should have looked at this video FIRST... My next ones are gonna be 3 wheels for sure. It's gonna take some time to get the money though
Isn't 4x90 pretty fast as well?
@@brayvdb2191 Yes, fast enough, 4 * 90 is a good mix of speed, stability, and durability, but it's not as fast as a 3 wheels. Anyway I realized soon enough I could already reach dangerous speed with 4 * 90. So... I do not regret after all
I love the four wheels
hi. i bought me a pair of powerslide tri-skates last year, about 37 years after i stopped rollerskating with quad skates. i've never used the 4-wheel inline skate yet, but i think the tri-skates would definitely take the bumps and inconsistencies on the road better. maybe i'm just biased because i'm having a ball with my tri-skates. at age 50, it's just great to be back!
Thanks bro I really needed to find this video I will recommend you to my other friends!!!
Nice video!!!!! I prefer 4 wheels and i skate for 7 years!!!!!
I concur, I tried 3 wheel frames and it didn't work for me, Yes I had fun on them, they were fast, and smooth. But I felt my self and my pears could also see that I skated more fluid and more professionally with 4 wheels.
I first started roller skating when I was 5 and when I was 8-9 I started roller blades and I am still on roller blades. I am 13 now☺
Mr. Witch I’m 13 too! What all stuff can you do? I’m not that great. I’m mean I’m not wiping out all the time or anything but I can’t really do many tricks or anything
Never stop! I started at 5 and I’m 34 and I am the most fit I have ever been in My life and I have always been fit.
I always skated a lot when I was younger and wanna start doing it again now I know what to buy thank you so much!
Same 🐻 ✌️ it's a good fitness experience and that's fun gotta return to it now at age 25 lol
Thanks Tiago. I was wondering if I should upgrade my Seba Fr2 Deluxe. I was thinking to upgrade to bigger wheels when I'm really good at those power-slides and whatnot - this confirmed it. I think in the long run I'd have both; bigger wheels are more comfortable in the city. Right now I practice on a smooth surface exclusively.
I love tri wheel skates. I'm never going back
Could someone please tell me what are the skates in the thumbnail of this vid. The 4 wheels, that sleek thin boot. I'm in love😍
They are the Powerslide Hardcore Evo Trinity, they normally come with 3 wheels but I put a 4 wheeled frame on them, in a rockered setup! ✌🏼

Whoa!! A reply from the man himself! I'm honored, bro. I'm just getting back into skating and.. Things have changed since I was 11😁. I'm having some difficulty though. Looking for skates online, and everything is sold out😬 Any advice? Thx again, Tiago. Love your channel!
Thanks Tiago I love the way you explain

I love the three wheels
Nice vid. u bring me joy dude!
Thanks man that was extremely useful and your presentation is entertaining and charismatic.
*Skates with free will*
Nice intro tho :D
Excellent explanation! Thanks man!
It seems like no one addresses the people who have mastered every skate we’ve encountered so far and are simply anxious to do the same here. I could just be missing it, but so far “new to inline skating” seems to be used synonymously with “new to skating” - period. Even better than just an acknowledgement that “beginner” might not mean the same thing to everyone, would be addressing it head on and using those comparisons - which would be so helpful to those of us who love skating and can’t wait to kick ass w/ inline skates like we have w/ ice and roller skates - to better aim us toward a good starting place. Like, “if you’re already comfortable with ice skating you might not need to worry so much about x and y, but z will be a new experience and might be easier with ______” Or: “If you’re the roller derby type, you should have no trouble at all with A, but B may take some getting used to.” (Again, I haven’t combed the interwebz, and I strongly suspect that these videos do exist, but they’re well buried.)
It’s just a thought.
Or, who knows, maybe it’s actually a desperate scream into the void.
🤷♀️
I’m not picky; I’ll take whichever interpretation has the greatest chance of actually working.😉
i'm satified with my 3 wheel,
my favourite 3x125.
Absolutely, but with trinity mount.
same here keeping it safe
Those skates are beautiful mine got ruined by water and I haven't been able to skate for 3 months. I'm so sad about it. I'm trying to save to try and buy a pair.
alex perez by water??
@Derek Simmons probably bad explanation.
Mine, I'm 34. I usually take care of a lot of things and have most things from even middle school.
My middle school blades, I barely used. So they sat in closet. After a few moves and cellars, and storage etc. The screws became all rusted and such. Mixed with me never really cleaning it whenever I last used it.
Instead of fixing/replacing/repair etc..i just said something like "water ruined my skates"
Awesome !
thanks for the help, very important info for beginers
This guy is the best I love these videos cause he is so positive and honest
Anyone else a quad skater that still watches tiago?
Axtra, I skate on everything, but originally I'm a quad skater. If you can skate one you can skate the other!
I enjoy quads, but that doesnt mean I'm good at them
Levels of inline skater:
Noob level - 4 wheels
City pro level - 3 wheels
Master level - 2 wheels
Demi-god level - 1 wheel
Neo from the matrix level - what if I told you there is no wheel?
Appreciate your enthusiasm bro!
I like this dude's attitude ! Personally, I'm using a 4 wheels right now (just began a week ago) :)
coming from Aggressive Inline skating my wheels down to the core, 4x80mm felt like i had turbos on my frames.
Like wise. By the way i love your username lol
