Powerslide Next Core Black 100mm Inline Skates First Impressions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 гру 2024
- I started Inline skating around the age of 14 years old... which is now 30 years ago, I am now 44 years of age. I have always enjoyed the feeling of rolling or sliding, whether it be skateboarding, Inline skating, Mountainboarding, Mountain Biking, Snowboarding and a little surfing, I have enjoyed them all at different times in my life. I am master of none but ok at them all I guess lol ;)
The last inline skates I purchased was 20 years ago when I purchased the amazing (aggressive/street skate) Roces Graal skates from Cheapskates in Manukau City back in 2000.
Since then I have only skated on these skates and they have been the best skates I have ever owned. I still enjoy using them today. But after 20 years of use, they are starting to get worn down in places.. e.g. I am using duck tape to hold the front together. So it's time for an upgrade. I have moved from Auckland to Napier and the skating conditions here are better suited for long-distance skates. There are long concrete paths along the coastline here providing 20+km of non-stop flat smooth concrete spanning from Bay View to Awatoto (which reminds me of skating from Key street to St Helliers along the coast in Auckland).
Most of my vids over the past few years have been focused on my mountain biking experiences.
In this video, I am instead providing a quick overview of my first impressions skating on my new Powerslide Next Core Black 100mm tri-skates. I heat mould the "My-Fit" inner boots too.
I hope this vid is informative and helpful to you.
These are great skates and I look forward to doing lots more inline skating in the future.
It's important for me to do all sorts of sports and activities, from playing music to skating, hiking or mountain biking. No matter what it is, it's all good!
Foot sizing:
My foot size is 27.5cm in length and I normally wear 43UK shoes
but I have quite wide feet, 11cm at the widest part, so I ordered the size up 44-45
I might have been able to squeeze into 42-43 but didn't want to risk it as the last pair I purchased in 42-43 were too small.. 44-45 fits good, I have a little bit of movement within my boot, so on really long trips I usually tape around my ankle or wear two thinner pairs of socks to reduce skin wear and blisters
Cheers
Thank you brother. this video helped me a lot. I too am an aggressive inliner who is transition to the tri skate. Appreciate you !
i'm back to skating after so many years..and now seriously considering to get next core 100 for city skating...your video really help me to decide. Thanks ;)
Thanks 🤙
did you end up buying it, im also going back to skating after 4 years of not skating
@@Blue2is yes, i already bought it
@@mzf2905 i bought tbe fr1 310
Another roces gral. I still have the white gral. Used to love them.
I still skate on my Roces Streets I've had for almost 30 years.
The Roces Gral skates are something really special alright. I still love them big time and will keep them running as ling as I can. They feel great with the new set of wheels, cheers 🤙😁
Hahahaha the smile on your face when you past the biker sold me this skates man! I’ll have to give them a try, Thanks for posting!
He he awesome, yes its just as amusing every time beacause they never expect it, especially people on e-bikes 😂✌
@@8118productions I also absolutely love it.
What I especially love is when they are driving handsfree. I try to mimik their "not touching the handlebar"bodylanguage while overtaking them^^
Its great, while they try getting some freedom on their Bike, living the pure freedom on wheels straight under your feet.
You have some wonderful tracks to ride down there in your upside down world... Greetings from Europe! :) I'm 60 y.o. and still rolling on 4 wheeler 80 mm Powrslide Kaze. Just can't stop...
Awesome, that's inspiring. I hope I'm still skating at 60 too. Thanks for the comment and all the best 😁👍
Hey I'm 75 I skate with 84mm a82 I must try those larger wheels. The problem we have here is lovely new road but messed up with small stones that get caught between the wheels ☺️ but maybe the large ones will do the trick. ( Any tips?)
Just to add , I skate about 7 km every day I live in Thailand and the Thais always laugh at older people doing something unusual , the truth is very few have the guts to try it out. Your skating is great also those power slides . Thanks for the
Video 👍👍
Just got the Next Core 90s with the 4x90 setup and after my first long distance ride my feet were in pain! After a day or two they’re back to normal. Was around the sides of the arch of the foot. Heat molded once but don’t think I did it well enough. They’re in the oven as I type this now lol. If the heat molding the liners doesn’t do it I’m going to give the actual boot some heat and see if I can make a difference there. Great content man!
Cheers, appreciate it 👍,
I still get a little wear damage to my skin below the ankle on longer trips, so taping my feet before long skates is essential for me in these skates. I forgot to tape my feet the other week and took all the skin off under my ankles on a 30km trip. The 15km return was really brutally painful both feet worn through. But anything under 15km I seam to be sweet as with no issues. Cheers and hope it all works out in the end for you. Nothing like that sweet feeling of rolling on some smooth concrete with skates on. Wicked 😂🤙😎
@@8118productions saw another youtuber today saying they removed part of the insole dropping the foot down so the left skate buckle doesn't dig into their foot.
I have the next core black 110 and the next core brown 125. Powerslide brand is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you for the video, i have the same boot but with the 4x80 frame, i've had the same issue with my left boot, i thought it was because i didn't heat molded it, but thanks to you i know it's that screw, which is just screwing me up.
Great hope it helps. Cheers 😁🤙
You left that guy on the bike in the dust! Nice!
Cheers. Its extra fun passing people on e-bikes. They never expect it 😂🤙
How fast do you go on average
@@rickydelaat6669 20 - 21kmph average, top speed on the flat usually 34kmph
@@8118productions thanks for the fast answer.. really want to buy these... just maybe if you have time one more question:
Could I do like 10 -15 kilometers on them (when worn in)
@@rickydelaat6669 yes easy, most of my skates sit between 15-25km
Thanks for the review and the tricks to make them more comfortable! I'm getting back to blading after 25 years off, and leaning towards getting these, but with the 4x80 frame. Since you've had these for almost a year now, I have a few questions I was hoping you could help with.
You mentioned that you was recommend sizing up from your regular size... after breaking them in for a year, have you found that the liner has loosened up to the point where there's too much room now, or would you still recommend sizing up?
My longest foot is 24.2cm, and the size 39-40 skate would be 24.2-24.8cm. Do you think that would be a good size for me to get? I worry about the skates feeling "sloppy" and lacking control, so I'm always concerned about sizing up.
Lastly, is the interior foot bed of the skate flat with insoles and a shock absorber creating a raised heel, or does the boot it self have a built in raised heel like the Roces M12s? I ask because I would like the option to remove the shock absorbers to make a flatter skate.
Cheers!
Hello, thanks your msg and detailed questions. Welsome back to the sport. You'll love it. I'll be doing an updated vid soon. But here are some answers from perspective.
After a year of use... I don't find them too loose. They actually still feel really good and snug. And I am really happy with the fit, feel and so on... (based on my own experience)
So I still stand by my choice to upsize them.
But hard to say for someone else, everyone has different shaped feet too. Mine are wide.
Cheers
Also regarding the insole and heal shock pad. Both are removable in my pair
Sorry for the late response, thanks so much mate!
Do you recommend this skate for a newbie? Nice video mate!
YO nice video. I have the exact same length of your foor 27.5 cm. But i have a very thin (not wide) foot. Would you recommend the 42-43??
Get the 42-43 then I think. Good luck 😊
@@8118productions thanks so much! Got the skates today.. they chose to send me a 38 instead... god damm it
Did I hear rattling bearings at 9:55? Or what is that? Hard wheels?
I skate over a spot were the concrete is really rough and covered in small bumps for a split second. 🤙😊
I want one for cruising, not looking to a fast start, this will ve my first 100mm, very excited
Then you might go for something different (better fitting, not two size shoes with liner), the Next only really shines if you do more urban/park skating, but even then you might want to consider choosing an actual aggressive skate instead. I have Doop, Next and HC Evo, the Next I use only for the Skatepark and Pumptrack now, something like the Oxelo MF500 or an actual aggressive skate would have done for this scenario as well. If you already bought the Next, make sure to cut the cuff and buy waxed laces, makes all the difference.
Amazing video 👍😊 i have 4 90” next black white ..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I got troubles opening the upper leash. I can't pull the button to open it up and need to use my key. Any tips / recommendations how it works better? Does anyone has the same problem?
Interesting, no not really, I don't have that issue, I also like to have the top not too tight, firm-loose if that makes any sense.
Hi! How it was if you remove the shock absorber? I have the same issue after rolling for a couple of hours in my right ankle only
Its ok, but I kept my in
I am thinking of getting the PS Next Charcoal 90, but the sizing is confusing. I normally have shoesize 43 and pretty wide feet. My mondo size is 28mm. They are available in size 42-43 and then 44-45. Why doesn't PS have size 43-44? What do you recommend? Get size 44-45? Afraid that they will be to big after break in. Getting them in size 42-43 will be probably not wide enough for my feet. Will have to order them online. Also not sure to get the 4 x 90 or 3 x 100 setup. Hope you can give some advice! Thanks!
@@NiekkieNick I suggest a little bigger than too small. You can always put two pairs of socks on on tighten them up. Skating in constant pain of being in too small shoes is unescapable and not much you can do with. Regarding wheels, if you want to stand on edges, steps, ramp edges with coping etc.. then go four. But If your just cruising fast around on pretty flat long areas. I really like the three. These ones I feel I can maneuver around very easily on which I like while still being fast and easy to roll over most bumps. So that's my point of view. My feet 27.5cm long and 11cm wide. So 44-45 is probably a good idea for your 28cm long feet. But that just my personal opinion. Hope this helps.
You heat moulded the plastic boot??😅😅
Only the inner booty
@@8118productions I have the same issue as you with my left foot.
Can you advise on where you place have placed the washer screw?
@@jennstuition in between the strap and the boot. I'll probably make an updated video soon and cover off what I have done. And other tips I have picked up since then.
@@8118productions You mean *strap*?
@@jennstuition ah yes, Strap. Lol whoops
What size is your foot and what size are the skates?
Thinking of getting a pair and don't know if i should size up also, great video by the way!
Thanks. I normally wear size 43UK size shoes so I got the 44/45 or 10.5-11US boot.size which worked out perfect after heat moulding. My foot is exactly 27.5cm long, Hope this helps
@@8118productions perfect thanks! Helps a lot since my foot is 27.5 too.
I have 42 43 and ordered the next in 42 43. They fit very well! Didn't even heat mold them but they feel great already
@@veganveteran great that they fit well, how long is your feet 27,0 or 27,5cm?
Hey bud was wondering where you ordered your skates from?
Inlinewarehouse.com
How the heck do I lace these? I laced them up all the way and there is literally nothing left to tie it with. You seem to not have laced it all the way up?
Hi, I only lace half way up. Enough for the foot only.. i prefer this
Nice video! Still have the pressure points? 🤔
Boots feel good now after I heat moulded the inners. But it took a couple weeks to wear tgem in and for the initial bruising to settle down. I think soft shell boots are more comfortable in general for skating, but as far as hard shell boots go, these are pretty good sweet
@@8118productions Thanks man! I've ordered next 3 by 100 and I am pretty excited tho I've ordered 42-43 and my feet are 42.5 in normal shoes. Unfortunately I can't even ride them tomorrow since Germany is covered in snow at the moment haha
@@veganveteran Have fun once the snow clears 🤙😎
hello, which ist he model of the helmet Bell ? thank a lot !
Its Downhill mtb model with detachable chin guard. Super 3R from memory. I use it for mountainbiking mostly. But also skating at times. Cheers
@@8118productions thank a lot ! for information.
How long can you coast on these without them stopping? Looking for something to cruise in..
My normal trips are 15-25km 25 takes me 1hr, my longest trip 40km just under 2hrs. If you were mean coasting as in how far a go per push off. I'm not sure, but quite a few meters, they roll and coast along really well and its extra good with a bit of windpower behind you, I think they are lovely wheels and bearings to cruze on.
@@8118productions Thanks for getting back to me I've been researching all week trying to find a good skate to get back into skating on (I use to go long distances on racing rollerblades) I'm now 34 so I decided 110s might be a bit much for me.. I saw these blades and found your review and decided to go for it. Just ordered some😁 🙌
@@b.r.o.6184 awesome I hope they fit well and you enjoy using them. I'm 44 and started way back when I was 14 but I never did any proper racing or speed stuff. But looking back, I kinda wish I had lol. But none the less its such an enjoyable sport and something I hope I can continue for many more years to come... and its nice to see and hear that their are still so many inline skaters around the world still skating and keeping inline alive. Keep rolling 👍😁🤙
@@8118productions 46-year-old dude here. Cool video, dude. Really useful and it's always nice to see New Zealand. I used to do competition speed skating and free skating around Madrid (Spain) in the early 90s. This was all on quad skates. Best time of my life. I was still skating occasionally on my custom-made skates from that era but I lost a wheel in a parking lot when I removed a nut from a skate to repair my car. I had been stalling on buying new wheels for my old skates and I just wasn't into inline skates until I discovered that 100mm tri skates existed. After much online investigation, I reached the conclusion that these are the best bang-for-buck skates that exist. So... I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new Powerslide Next Core Black 100mm Inline Skates on Monday to skate around the coast of Galicia and Portugal 😁Thanks for listening to my old man rambling y'all!
@@JockJaimeRadfordBromley awesome dude, glad you enjoyed my vid and you are getting some new skates too, I'm sure you will have lots of fun on your new 100mm tri skates. Have fun 🤙😎
Gracias por tu video.
si mi pie mide 236mm, entonces me recomiendas irme por la talla 38? porque cuando me los probé, quedan unos milimetros en la punta que no sé qué tanto afecte al patinar.
Thanks for your msg 😁👍 are you able to translate into english for me please, then I will try my best to answer. Cheers 😊 I gather you are asking about shoe size?
@@8118productions her normal size is a 236mm and asking if she should get a size 38. And if the few milimeter gap she has afect her skating in these. Also great video. You helped me make a decision after my research.
I think it is better to have extra space, always . I have a little space in mine and I think it fine. Thank you and good luck with shopping and skating Thaila
What’s the hardest thing about roller blading?
Depends on your skill set and how far you are on the learning journey I guess. For a beginner probably finding good balance, stopping safely and tackling terrain changes safely under speed. For me personally technical rails and flip tricks. But these days I just like to cruze and go fast and leave the tricks alone.
Admitting that you’re friends with skateboarders.
@@mountainpeakcloud8442 i think its easier having skateboard friends, than skateboarders accepting a rollerblader ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
as already mentioned, it depends so much on your history. Have you ever skated (for example on ice, or did you ski?) What are your goals. For standard driving I'd say, some grounds are really difficult especially cobblestone and as always. Breaking is so much important but one of the skills which need the most training....
If we are talking about aggressive skating, breaking might be the easiest thing compared to other skills....
The last ride is from 2014
Could i go for 2 hour trips on these ??
Yes, I did a 40km skate which took me 2 hours... but taping or strapping you feet before starting your skate would be highly recommended to avoid skin wear and blisters etc.. cheers 👍😁
@@8118productions thnx mvp
@@8118productions there are neopren socks / footies.
I can recommend them a lot. Powerslide offers even different tipes to for example to fix ancle pain or offer more heel lock....
But if the boot fits well i would just wearl the standard footie. (Footie and thin socks) are my way to go.
100 o 110??
Mine are 100mm. They were sold out of 110mm so i went for 100mm.
Love passion and effort blessings Fam 👽⛸🛸🧙♂️🧞♂️🧜🏼♂️🌎🐉🦖🔮
I just think it is really not cool that you have to heatmold something that pricy.
I agree, I never had these issues with past skates, but I do a lot more distance with these bigger wheels so that might also be a factoring reason. Taping my feet before long skates seams to have sorted my skin wear issue. Cheers 😊🤙
They look narrow as hell, no way ill fit into those skates
the seperate liners are really forgiving and these shoes are heatmoltable. You might not expect how much forgiving such a liner can become. My liner has a absolutely different shape to how it was in the beginning and I didnt even heatmolt it. I just used them at least about every second day for at least 15 kilometers.
Got them last week, end it up sending it back, they crush my feets very badly, they are very narrow
@@RM-en9gk looks like you never tried narrow skates.
Kaze is much narrower and the swell extremely much more. The next ist a intermediate skate....
But im still sorry for you because the mess getting a boot in your size is really annoying ...
@@BlackyRay_Patrick i have 11.5 cm wide feets, Had to get FR1. Powerslide Next its a very beautiful skate, unfortunately it didnt work out for me.
