- What is easier for a aggressive skating beginner - 4 wheels or 2 wheels?
From my point of view, it definitely is 2 wheels!
Improvements with 2 wheels:
Easier stalling on coping
Less wheelbites
More forgiving
Disadvantages with 2 wheels:
Harder to balance

Clean video! Not only has your skating improved a lot but also your videography skills! Keep at it🤘
That's so interesting to watch! Try a Soulgrind on the ledge first! Easier that Slide tricks on a ledge. Once you do your frist grinds you will realise how much fun it is! Especially if you grind longer.
The new stall is Mizou and the next one you did was almost an x stall I think. And it was already said, but your front sides are just facing too forward. Your speed is good enough to slide though. I really would recommend trying front sides on a p rail or flat rail vs a ledge. I think your balance from skiing will help you out more to get the feel for the frames sliding. You’re already doing so good! Welcome to the blading community👍
When approaching the ledge for the frontside grind it helps to have your shoulders turned towards the ledge so they're approaching parallel with the ledge. This will help your body turn sideways for the grind. It also helps to point your toes upward a little to avoid that front wheel bite.
Hey sir, thank you for the tips. Will try them in my next vid!
When did you start skating?
For the frontside grind on the ledge your form is going to be super important with such large wheels. First it'll help if you fully turn your torso to face the obstacle, this will make it easier to get your legs in the right position. Also try to avoid leaning forward into it, this is going to push your front wheels down onto the obstacle and bite. Keep your balance directly over it or slightly away from it. Then squat more, and tilt your knees slightly inward to make an "A" shape. This will help keep your wheels out of the way more, and lower your center of balance. Not to mention it just looks cooler the lower you can go, and it will set you up for learning the next trick.
Still, really impressive progress for just a couple sessions. Keep it up!
Thanks for the amazing tips!
My next vid will be all about learning to grind 🤟🏼
Soul Stall and a Mizu Stall 👍
Awesome, thank you sir! :)
Sick riding style btw
@@simonzetterbergg thank you 😃
@@simonzetterbergg keep at it. your progress is outstanding Sir 😜🤘
Ask yourself - what do you enjoy more? The skating itself or the grinding? That’ll help you decide whether to go flat or anti
Alright, sounds reasonable!
Flat require more skill
Place your feet In a V SHAPE … push off heels , release off toes - no matter what set up . ❤
Ayo, thanks!
Love your style of riding btw!
You could put 65mm wheels in those skates and it would make it less likely to get wheel bite. Don’t put in wheels smaller than 65mm though because it will cause other issues. Also when you are grinding ledges on skates remember that you need to lock with your feet slightly angled. You can’t lock on ledges “flat based” like you can on skis, the reason your back foot was getting wheel bite is probably because your foot was too on top/flat based.
That makes sense, thanks for your comment!
60 mm wheels will fit on frames designed for 72mm wheels. However you are not going to get the full benefit since your frame is still higher then it would be if it was designed for 60 mm. Also you might get issues with the frame touching the ground when you lean heavenly with skates in sharp turns. That depends a lot on the shape of the frame. Since you bought the Aeon skate, you can not change the frame of that skate, you would need to buy a totally different skate. The plus side is that if you want to skate 72mm, this skate maximizes how low your frame can be with that wheel size. Since the frame is not mounted on the boot, it can be way lower since the wheels can go into the boot and no space is needed for the mounting hardware. I actually skate a flat setup with 72mm wheels and while it is harder its still fun. For me I want the 72mm wheels because they are WAY better for general skating on the street to get to the skate-park. I skate 9km to get to the park and I would die if I had to do it on 60mm wheels. Its just that bad. But when you are in the park, on the smooth surface, small wheels are no problem. It seems like you use your bike for transportation and you don't plan to skate outside the park at all, that's why smaller wheels skate seem to be a better option for you. Small frame and wheels make it easier to do tricks for sure. Small wheels are lighter and anti-rockers additionally reduce the weight of the skates. The closer your foot is to the ground the more balance you have. You also don't have bend your legs as much to get into the position of some grinds like royals and topside tricks. (But these tricks look way better on bigger frames.) However, there is still enjoyment to be had when it comes to skating a more challenging setup. It might make some of your tricks look cleaner since the setup does not allow you to do it the sloppy way. If you want to have the easiest time skating you can buy Razor SL-s with the ground control FL3 frame and anti-rocker setup. I see so many people that start doing way harder tricks as soon as they get that skate. It almost feels like they are cheating :D Some people say that 72mm wheels are also better for vert skating, since you don't loose as much energy for each jump you do. But IDK if that is still relevant since you can also buy metal core wheels today to maintain your speed on huge ramps like vert ramps.
Hey! Thank you for an amazing explaination.
I will buy 60mm wheels and try them out :)
@@simonzetterbergg Actually, please try to measure where the 60mm diameter would be on your 72mm wheels. The wheel bite protection of the H block might be touching the ground with wheels that small.
Got another comment saying I should put 65mm wheels, thats porbably what I am going to test first :)
Bu I will measure before I buy them
@@simonzetterbergg60mm wheels won’t work. That model
of aeon is designed for 72mm wheels. I think 65mm would work but it basically brings the frame walls lower to the ground and you might catch them as you turn and wash out. Most people skate the aeon 72, with 68mm wheels to minimise wheelbite when skating it with a flat setup
@@that_which_is_not I bought 64mm wheels, still have not tried them yet. Will let you know how it goes :D
