Here's one nobody mentions, your bearings being further from the ground and therefore less likely to get dusty and dirty! It makes a huge difference. Literally my bearings are always clean. With 80mm always dirty
Triskates Pros and Cons (note the # of +/-'s) +++ Badass look + Two less wheels to do bearing maintenance + Being taller is cool + Higher top speed ++ Ignores difficult terrain (so less watching the ground for pesky cracks) ++ More speed/roll retention -- More effort required per push -- Less control -Less acceleration (---) If you skate for transportation, the larger wheel base may make your stride so large that narrow sidewalks become strenuous to skate in; I used to use a full stride to go through sidewalks on 80mms, but now I'm always cutting them short. Verdict: You should stick with four wheels if you're either new, stopping frequently to cross streets, or if you're trying to do tricks (although triskating does look pretty sick). Joyriding in less populated areas can greatly benefit from triskating or even pentaskating setups (like 5x110 or some crazy shiz). Triskating definitely can work in an urban setup because it retains the same length of wheel that quad inline setups offer.
Hi lino and godrifle. I'm a beginner looking for a new inline skate. I want to buy powerslide Imperial 125 wich is triskates. But I read from many forums that for a beginner, I should take four wheels instead of triskates. so what's your suggestion?
I own a pair of powerslide imperial megacruiser 125's. The imperials have a hard shell, which can get very uncomfortable (and i'm not the only person who said this, I saw in another video review the same comment as me). You'll want to buy/own a heat gun to remold the plastic boot. Anyway, since you're a beginner, I'd say you should stick to 90mm or 80mm wheels for urban skating. If I was your dad, and you reaally wanted the imperials, I'd make you promise me that you'll skate 10 miles a day. Skating in 125's is not as easy; it can get very tiring despite the roll retention. I'd say your experience with the megacruiser would be equal to or slightly worse than getting a price comparable Seba FR2, but if the huge wheel size seems too sexy to resist, and you are willing to take on the challenge, then get the megacruisers.
Also another benefit of big wheels: they last a lot, cause there's so much rubber to wear if you keep rotating them. My wheels were 125mm. 9 months later they're like 115mm and there's still a lot of rubber left!
Thanks for the video. I grew up 25 years ago rollerblading the streets of San Diego. I recently have had an itch to get back in to it and I'm leaning towards 3 wheeled 100mm. I think I'm going to pull the trigger.
Mind if I ask, what did you end up getting? I also grew up rollerblading and playing street hockey. Now, at 41, im looking to get back into skating. This time, doing distance skating on greenways. What did you get? Do you like them?
I'm using tri skates for workout and cruising. I love the bigger wheels because they last longer and I can go almost anywhere. The 4 wheel 110mm are cool too but just so much bigger. The tris are the same size as traditional inline skates length wise.
Dude ... ‘you’ ... your channel here, your videos like this (and I’m watching as much of them as I can to catch up lol 😄) ... you got me skating again man. Seriously, a big thanks to ya. 🙏 I owe ya.
I come from an aggressive background but now I mostly slalom skate or street skate on a bit of a longer frame, I also ice skate and play inline hockey so I now how very different all those types of skating can be. Have never thought about triskates but now am thinking about trying them, just buying the frame and wheels and changing it on one of my boots. Nice video, thanks for sharing all the interesting info, great job raising an interest :)
9:45 Thank you so much! It allowed me to maintain all of my creativity while doubling my mileage with a significant speed increase. love them! love your Channel
Ricardo i wanted to let you know i recently got back into inline skating and your videos are a big reason why! i love your passions and enthusiasm for being on wheels!! i ended up getting the FRX 310, and am in love with the three wheels! Good luck with everything! :)
I am 61 and skate for fitness, and a former hockey player. I skate in 4 wheel inclines now. I am rural and pavement is very fractured, can be a little icy and plenty of debris on it. I would like wheels more adept at rougher surfaces. My balance is very good and do not fall even when encountering poor surfaces. Thanks
Rode 4x76 all my life, then 80s… ride some 4x110 racing skate that’s still fairly low to the ground… just got the 3x125 trinity skate and put some laps on smooth asphalt…whoa, what a difference in everything… need to learn for a while, but speed is awesome!
Very informative even 3 years later, I moved from the city to the country years ago so my 55's dont get much action, so I mainly play in snow. So when I fell down the yt inline rabbit hole I was confused about all this "new" stuff
Cyril L. Thanks dude !!! I love 110s too ;) been skating 110 and 125. Way more then I expected when I first started using freeskates ... I mean.. transportation ... speed... slides... maneuverability.. what else would I ask for ? ❤️👌🏼
Hey man, you mentioned in the video that one of the models is 125mm but feels like 110mm. Which one is it ( I cant hear it) Or what is your favorite all round model so far ? :)
Lino,I am glad to see people finding, liking and commenting on your channel, that's amazing.Great video as always.Brother,can you make a video showing some tips and exercises to do the slide.Also,and I think we talked about this before, can you explain the double push technique.I will really value if you take some time to explain those things.Peace
Gabriel Gonzalez thanks man! I'm putting lot of work into this channel and I don't plan on stopping. The engagement motivates me more and more... settled myself a goal of 100 followers in 6 months... I'm on almost 300 in 1 month . I'm quite happy but I know I need to keep consistency and raise the quality !! Thank you soo much , once again.... more how to videos soon soon 👊🏼❤️
I'm in love with 3x110 short frame over any 4x wheel setup!...With 3x110 you have speed , acceleration and agility, probably faster than any 4x setup under 100s wheels..3x125 i don't like it, i feel to skate much slower and more tiring...for very long distance i love 4x100 or 4 x110 all in FR Igor's, FR1 and Micro Delta F...Powerslide can go kiss their narrow feet only skate ass goodbye
Lino, your video convinced me to finally build a set of custom triskates and I love them. I have been on my old set of Roces Majestic 12's since the late 90's (I actually fit 80mm wheels in there from my old 5 wheeled track skate) and I didn't realize it then, but I pretty much made myself a set of urban skates before it was even a thing. I still skate on those from time to time, but the Seba High Light boots, Powerslide Megacruiser pro 10.2 frame, 125mm infinity wheels, and Inline Warehouse's Swiss bearings are my new favorite. They seem to just roll over everything (watch out kids, you'll be my new speed bump. just kidding). Over here in Philadelphia I have a pathway down Kelly drive where I can get a pretty decent amount of speed going, but it does get a little lonely at times skating by yourself. May be I should take a trip to South Africa to skate with you! Thank you for making great videos and keep on rolling!
so this video really made me buy the triskate frame and wheels and I've just come home after like 4 hours of trying them, street and sliding ... and I love them :) street hasn't been this much fun in a loooong time. being mostly a slalom skater the feeling is wastly different but I still love them. and sliding needs a little adjusting as sliding on rocking slalom wheels is different but still it came very naturally and it seems it'll be easy ... btw. have bought the SEBA 3wheel frame (266mm) and seba 125mm wheels and put it on my SEBA Trix boots ... great fit :) love triskates :)
Your videos have convinced me to start sharing my inline flows once this winter rolls through. Hope you have some awesome weather, Ricardo! Let's get some fun!
I had a pair of cheap skates when I was a kid, but never got past the crashing stage. For years I've secretly wanted a pair and to learn. I found your videos and just loved your attitude about skating. I tore my ACL skateboarding and just never went back, but I miss that feeling of rolling fast, so skates seemed appropriate. Doing some research I decided to get triskates as they fit my style. In all my sports I like to go fast. I bought some powerslide imperial 110s, and I love it. I've only been learning for a few days on my lunch breaks from work. I'm mostly focusing on crossover turns, and t stops both sides. I heated up my skates with a heat gun and custom molded them to my feet, and man what a difference in control I got. Today I put a new set of 125s on, and they felt much more natural. Everywhere I read that people said not to start with bigger wheels, but for me, it feels right. I am 6' tall I don't know if that has something to do with it? But it's so smooth, it lets me focus more on my form and less on what sticks or gravel are on the ground. Thanks for all the great videos Ricardo! You inspired me to indulge myself in a secret desire to skate! Soon I hope to be scooting around town and bombing some hills.
@@samuelj.s3955 I kept skating but not inline skating! I have flat feet and I found over time that inlines would always hurt my feet, even with shoe inserts. But I switched over to traditional quads and the more stable platform is much easier on my feet! I was really bummed for a while that I wouldn't be able to keep skating, so glad I didn't give up. I blew out my other ACL about a year ago in a dirt bike crash, so it's been slow getting back into skating but I'm happy to be doing it again!
Great channel & content. I've only been skating a bit over a year and definite room for improvement, need to work on slide and power stop. You, Bill S and James Mackey have been a tremendous help but there ain't nothing like getting out there and just doing it!I've been on four 90mm wheels for about six month and enjoyed it but the maneuverability wasn't there. I then put an 84mm wheel on the front and it was like a whole new skating experience, great improvement. I also just ordered the ground control tri frames for my K2s, we'll see how that goes. Keep the great videos coming.
hell yea!! so glad your stocked with the content and obviously about skating!! the best thing about this era of skating is how people are experimenting and how open the whole community is to it! LOVE IT! let me know how your 3 wheel skates experience goes ;) cheers lots of love Lino
Totally respect that. 3 wheels are usually lighter . But have less grip a bit... other then that it's fun that the idle wheel works as a pivot point 👊🏼I love all my skates and I always say there's a diferent setup for whatever we do diferent ❤️keep skating
I never tried these kind of skates, but it looks fun. Secondly if you don't like 3skates, try the ground control big frame (72mm) I skate with big frame and it's incredible good! :)
Hey man, this video convinced me to buy a pair so I got the Powerslide Swell Trinity Moon Grey 2017 model, they're in the mail and I'm super excited! and I also subscribed!!
What would be the difference between 110mm and 100mm? Is there a big difference or advantage/disadvantage? Is the difference in speed and maneuverability noticeable? I'm 1,74m, just in case.
this video is 2 years old. taking into account that fact, could you please redo this same video with more pros cons? I am about to buy my first triskate pair of 110mm and these kind of videos did influence my opinion and likings. thnx
I’m 175cm tall and I’m thinking about buying Powerslide skates. Back in the day I had Rollerblade Macroblade Maxxums which had a hard shell boot and I really loved how they felt - very secure and very maneuverable . I’m gonna move to Cambodia soon and since it’s very hot there I need a well ventilated skate, that’s maneuverable and gives me the secure feeling of a hard shell boot. Removable and washable liner would probably be a good idea, too. Which Powerslide skate would be your recommendation?
For me these tri-skates are looking cool. I am a beginner and have 4x80’s. That said I am also 48 and have no intention of doing huge jumps and slides. However, distance, speed and fitness are why I am here ( plus the fun factor) so this may help a new market. If everyone thinks the thing about skates are stunts it will turn people off. Make it an alternative to cycling and such running..., possible new market. I will stay with my new skates but if I am still at it come Christmas some 3x110 will likely be a request from Santa. Stay safe. Not too colourful either skate makers. Fashion is not my strong point. Dark and mute is just fine😄
just found your channel nice video, i've been considering to get some tri skates but i'm forcing myself to learn to powerslide on 4x80 before trying out tri skates so i can manage the higher speeds
well i wouldn't say you can manage higher speeds on 80s or 110/125,. its a different feeling, definitely a bit higher...with pros and cons. for me works better and i would tell everyone to go with it..even when your starting...as having bigger wheels will allow you to over everything without getting stuck easier ;) also 3 wheels will make it easier to turn, as the middle wheel will work as a pivot point.. ;) but off curse this is my opinion! enjoy skating
Yeah it's a Seba FR1 325, they also do a FR1 310 (just means either 3x 125mm or 3x 110mm wheels), but basically it's an FR1 boot with a tri wheel frame setup. I have the Seba FR1 80 skates, four 80mm wheels, but I can fit the 310 or 325 Seba frame on it for a three wheel setup.
I have started learning since a month on four wheels x76mm... I'm good with it on smooth surfaces. But the city roads roughs is where my struggle is at. Will 3x110mm help better on simple flow skating in city than 4x76or80mm?
Is the difference in speed between 3x110 and 3x125 noticable? Om 4x90 I have to top speed of about 30km/h with which I can easily stop if I want to. How much would the top speed improve with the 3x110? and how much for the 3x125?
Hi Lino! I m planning to buy a pair of tryaskates for moving faster in the city, I want something that is fast and comfortable, with great maneuverability. Which one do you suggest to me? :)
i do have a question, as i am planning on buying tri skates for city cruising. in particular my Q is aiming at those seba fr 310. are they also "stairs resistant"? just in case, as i see, that you can slide, you can jump, so all is covered there, but did you ride down some stairs? thank you so much and GREAT VLog!!
Christian Hager , on Triskates it's a bit harder to go down stairs as the part of the wheels that hit the corner or the stairs is on a higher angle then on 4x80s . But it's definitely possible and I have been doing them a lot ;). Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼❤
Thx a lot for the very quick answer :) since i re-started my former free-skating, aggressive carreer after a 16yrs break i exchanged my salomon 91 (i guess) by usd aeon 72 but i also like to cruise through the city, so no i am sure, that this pair will be a good addon to the others :)
well, to me. triksates change the way i look at skating by oppening a whole new world of possibilities due to the bigger wheels in a short base! :) ENJOY
Hi Lino, I like you videos very much! I somewhat begginer with inline skates... being rinding some 4x80mm wheels... and now a bought a Kaze supercruiser (3x110mm), but already thinking to take to the 125mm wheels... this change will make much diference at this skates? Thanks about all the videos, they are great!!
thanks for the comment rodrigo..i don't know how tall you are.but i usually say 125 arent for everyone...on me it feels like a 100 skate on a small person... ;) thank you so much for the feedback :) its really appreciated
I´m 1,85m (looks weird in something smaller than a 80mm wheel.. hehe)... but the skill needed and the feeling of a 125mm wheel are much diferent from a 110mm? by the way... I´m having quite a difficult to find a 255mm frame for the Kaze boot here at Brazil (or in shops that send to here)... And thanks for the answer... Keep that great work... :)
Great introduction to TriSkates, Lino! Have you updated your opinion as this was long ago! I am 6"1' and learning rollerblades (2 wheels) so what Trikates would you suggest I should start off with as I want to mainly use for commute and the roads are not that good here in India! I saw a pair where you can use your own shoes and wear the skates in 'em. Seems very practical. Do let me know if you could guide me here ! Thank you! Keep up the great work!
great video but the end.... try skates?? I am 32 years old, last time I slide was on 4 wheel not inline skates. do you think is too late for doing this?
Despite the fact I would like to make the most of using triskates daily, their huge wheel size is too much to handle in terms of striding. I'm imagining their wheel size requires a lot of energy to push at each stroke and my stamina is currently struggling with getting on 80mm flat setup over long distances as it is (I now have to go with Hi-Lo hockey setup to accommodate 72mm). This seems daunting for urban skater who usually stops, starts, weaves, navigates uphill constantly. I gotta admit though, they are cool and making you look like you mean business! They are like Bmx bikes for your feet.
💞 I liked this video a lot. Today was my 2nd day, and I'm scared but want to skate backwards & do crossovers. I used to do these on 4-wheelers years ago but seem to be having difficulty on my new Macroblade 100mm tri skates. Tips? I enjoy your content!
i would say, having less wheels means more surface on the floor..so easier to loose the grip and start sliding, also having a taller skate, means you can lean your foot with our the boot touching and sliding too much..so i would say, for me YES !
Riccardo, great channel and content, I'm a ex semi-pro hockey player, also high performance skier. I'm looking into getting into inline skating for exercise and dry land ski training. I was thinking of using a pair of custom fit hockey skates for my boot and I'm thinking a 3 wheel set up. I'm asking your advice on such a set up, or go for a carbon boot and 3 wheel set up, what do you think ?
To practice mainly in city or country roads with firends who have mountain bike , what would be the best choice between seba's fr1 or swell trinity and the rollerblade metroblade 3wd ? Thanks , and what a bloody great video!
Hi. Thanks for your video. I'm 5"7, not very strong, female and have lung problems. I need inline skates which means I don't need to put too much effort in!. Guessing bigger wheels mean less effort, not a great skater. Usually indoor roller ring just going round. But now want to get into skating indoor and out door to try get fit! Any advice, I'm from uk. Hope you could advise. Thanks

I'm thinking about getting a Triskate besides my 4x80 setup. I think 3x100 would be okay for me, or would you go for 110 if you had tho choose? Anything bigger than that is too much I think
Je conseille à tout le monde de débuter en 4x80 , sur des patins evolutifs ,afin de pouvoir monter une platine 3x110 une fois qu on se sent parfaitement à l'aise en 4x80. On prend plus de vitesse en 3x110, si on ne sait pas maîtriser sa vitesse,ça peut être assez dangereux et décourageant. Par contre j avoue adorer la "gueule " d un patin 3x110 :)
@@RicardoLino Haha, you are right but I saw this Video is five years old. And I am also very curious about my 5wheel frame from Rockin Frame. When will we see more from that😉? Bye the way the Video is very nostalgic after the Triskate hype. I also was a big fan but now I go for slightly rockered frames.
great video. question...do you think the trinity tri skate is better again. I think the trinity has three points bolted from blade to boot. in theory it sounds good. Also didn't really catch which one you were using.
mark evenden I'm using the trinity skates the most :) the POWERSLIDE KAZE are my favorite . I still use the non trinity powerslide IMPERIALS , cause I also love the stability of a hard boot. BUT 80% of the time I'll go trinity ;) it's feels seriously better , every lil movements you do with your feet transfer to the wheels . Love it 👍🏼👌🏼

My bearings are quite dirty with 110mm after a 10km ride😅 the surface seems pretty clean where I skate. But i never skate 80mm so i cant compare

+++ Badass look
+ Two less wheels to do bearing maintenance
+ Being taller is cool
+ Higher top speed
++ Ignores difficult terrain (so less watching the ground for pesky cracks)
++ More speed/roll retention

-Less acceleration
(---) If you skate for transportation, the larger wheel base may make your stride so large that narrow sidewalks become strenuous to skate in; I used to use a full stride to go through sidewalks on 80mms, but now I'm always cutting them short.

THE LINO LIFE excellent video. im contemplating converting my seba frx skates to tri skates or just buy some swells. any opinions???
Your videos have convinced me to start sharing my inline flows once this winter rolls through. Hope you have some awesome weather, Ricardo! Let's get some fun!
I had a pair of cheap skates when I was a kid, but never got past the crashing stage. For years I've secretly wanted a pair and to learn. I found your videos and just loved your attitude about skating. I tore my ACL skateboarding and just never went back, but I miss that feeling of rolling fast, so skates seemed appropriate. Doing some research I decided to get triskates as they fit my style. In all my sports I like to go fast. I bought some powerslide imperial 110s, and I love it. I've only been learning for a few days on my lunch breaks from work. I'm mostly focusing on crossover turns, and t stops both sides. I heated up my skates with a heat gun and custom molded them to my feet, and man what a difference in control I got. Today I put a new set of 125s on, and they felt much more natural. Everywhere I read that people said not to start with bigger wheels, but for me, it feels right. I am 6' tall I don't know if that has something to do with it? But it's so smooth, it lets me focus more on my form and less on what sticks or gravel are on the ground.
Thanks for all the great videos Ricardo! You inspired me to indulge myself in a secret desire to skate! Soon I hope to be scooting around town and bombing some hills.
Did you keep on rollerblading?
@@samuelj.s3955 I kept skating but not inline skating! I have flat feet and I found over time that inlines would always hurt my feet, even with shoe inserts. But I switched over to traditional quads and the more stable platform is much easier on my feet! I was really bummed for a while that I wouldn't be able to keep skating, so glad I didn't give up.
I blew out my other ACL about a year ago in a dirt bike crash, so it's been slow getting back into skating but I'm happy to be doing it again!
Great channel & content. I've only been skating a bit over a year and definite room for improvement, need to work on slide and power stop. You, Bill S and James Mackey have been a tremendous help but there ain't nothing like getting out there and just doing it!I've been on four 90mm wheels for about six month and enjoyed it but the maneuverability wasn't there. I then put an 84mm wheel on the front and it was like a whole new skating experience, great improvement. I also just ordered the ground control tri frames for my K2s, we'll see how that goes. Keep the great videos coming.
hell yea!! so glad your stocked with the content and obviously about skating!!
the best thing about this era of skating is how people are experimenting and how open the whole community is to it! LOVE IT!
let me know how your 3 wheel skates experience goes ;)
cheers
lots of love
Lino
Sticking with my current Bont 3 point 4 110mm. I commute over 100 miles a week rain or shine. I can't see how 3 wheels is any advantage.
Totally respect that. 3 wheels are usually lighter . But have less grip a bit... other then that it's fun that the idle wheel works as a pivot point 👊🏼I love all my skates and I always say there's a diferent setup for whatever we do diferent ❤️keep skating
for urban skating - 4 wheels only! for me THE BEST! no 3 wheels :)
Une belle équipe, merci pour le voyage nocturne !
Great video. Thanks for the input. Your videos have great production value. Thanks for all your videos.
I bought myself the usual four wheels inline in order to learn. But I already crave triskates.
I never tried these kind of skates, but it looks fun.
Secondly if you don't like 3skates, try the ground control big frame (72mm) I skate with big frame and it's incredible good! :)
This man is the truth. Lots to learn from him.
I just ordered a k2 fit 84 and im so excited to “try” it hehehe. Love your channel man! I rpalce my cycling to inline skate because of health problem.
I found you on YT today, and you have soo many awesome videoes! Thanks dude! Skate love from Norway
Hey man, this video convinced me to buy a pair so I got the Powerslide Swell Trinity Moon Grey 2017 model, they're in the mail and I'm super excited!
and I also subscribed!!
+Patrick Grant thank you for the comment man . Always so good to know I'm helping someone ;)
How is it?
What would be the difference between 110mm and 100mm? Is there a big difference or advantage/disadvantage? Is the difference in speed and maneuverability noticeable? I'm 1,74m, just in case.
Buenísimo informe. Soy feliz con mis Powerslide 125mm. Dile a Joey que tiene que probarlos!
muchas gracias guille!!!
Been thinking about a set of these for a while now I'm sold and it's time to buy a pair. Thanks!
I used to have a 4x58mm roces. Now I bought a 3x110mm. It's kinda hard to balance. I need to practice a lot.
Great video, really like the ending message.
Thanks.
My inline skates have bearings that get stiff sometimes and i almost fall and when i saw u spin the wheels i instantly wanted tri wheels because speed
this video is 2 years old.
taking into account that fact, could you please redo this same video with more pros cons?
I am about to buy my first triskate pair of 110mm and these kind of videos did influence my opinion and likings. thnx
i love how all these vets mention turning quicker when it's down to the length of the frame ...
Natural rocker can form a single wheel pivot point which effectively makes for a short wheelbase contact to ground
I’m 175cm tall and I’m thinking about buying Powerslide skates. Back in the day I had Rollerblade Macroblade Maxxums which had a hard shell boot and I really loved how they felt - very secure and very maneuverable . I’m gonna move to Cambodia soon and since it’s very hot there I need a well ventilated skate, that’s maneuverable and gives me the secure feeling of a hard shell boot. Removable and washable liner would probably be a good idea, too. Which Powerslide skate would be your recommendation?
I tested rollerblade twister edge wd 110, powerslide next and seba Fr1 110 or fr skate Fr1 110 and the seba or fr are the Best by far
which would make a faster skate 4 wheels or 3 wheel setup?
I haven't skated since 1994, but I think it's time to "Try" skates again!
For me these tri-skates are looking cool. I am a beginner and have 4x80’s. That said I am also 48 and have no intention of doing huge jumps and slides. However, distance, speed and fitness are why I am here ( plus the fun factor) so this may help a new market. If everyone thinks the thing about skates are stunts it will turn people off. Make it an alternative to cycling and such running..., possible new market. I will stay with my new skates but if I am still at it come Christmas some 3x110 will likely be a request from Santa. Stay safe. Not too colourful either skate makers. Fashion is not my strong point. Dark and mute is just fine😄
Have you tried a rockerable/rockered big wheel frame?
just found your channel nice video, i've been considering to get some tri skates but i'm forcing myself to learn to powerslide on 4x80 before trying out tri skates so i can manage the higher speeds
well i wouldn't say you can manage higher speeds on 80s or 110/125,. its a different feeling, definitely a bit higher...with pros and cons. for me works better and i would tell everyone to go with it..even when your starting...as having bigger wheels will allow you to over everything without getting stuck easier ;) also 3 wheels will make it easier to turn, as the middle wheel will work as a pivot point.. ;)
but off curse this is my opinion!
enjoy skating
Does anybody know the skates Andrew Scherf has?
4:06
Those wheels and frame
Yeah it's a Seba FR1 325, they also do a FR1 310 (just means either 3x 125mm or 3x 110mm wheels), but basically it's an FR1 boot with a tri wheel frame setup. I have the Seba FR1 80 skates, four 80mm wheels, but I can fit the 310 or 325 Seba frame on it for a three wheel setup.
110 or 125 wheels if you swap from 4x90 wheels liked the speed would maybe like to get faster but not loose flexibility?
Which are best skates for stunting n all ?? Four wheel or triskates?
I have started learning since a month on four wheels x76mm... I'm good with it on smooth surfaces.
But the city roads roughs is where my struggle is at. Will 3x110mm help better on simple flow skating in city than 4x76or80mm?
YES!!!!!!! 🇧🇷🤙
Is the difference in speed between 3x110 and 3x125 noticable? Om 4x90 I have to top speed of about 30km/h with which I can easily stop if I want to. How much would the top speed improve with the 3x110? and how much for the 3x125?

Miguel Ramos speaking my language there hahaha
Hi Lino! I m planning to buy a pair of tryaskates for moving faster in the city, I want something that is fast and comfortable, with great maneuverability. Which one do you suggest to me? :)
please check the deal i just posted ... ;) the pwoerslide V line with 25% discount at www.bladeville.com
i do have a question, as i am planning on buying tri skates for city cruising. in particular my Q is aiming at those seba fr 310. are they also "stairs resistant"? just in case, as i see, that you can slide, you can jump, so all is covered there, but did you ride down some stairs? thank you so much and GREAT VLog!!
Christian Hager , on Triskates it's a bit harder to go down stairs as the part of the wheels that hit the corner or the stairs is on a higher angle then on 4x80s . But it's definitely possible and I have been doing them a lot ;). Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼❤
Thx a lot for the very quick answer :)
since i re-started my former free-skating, aggressive carreer after a 16yrs break i exchanged my salomon 91 (i guess) by usd aeon 72 but i also like to cruise through the city, so no i am sure, that this pair will be a good addon to the others :)
well, to me. triksates change the way i look at skating by oppening a whole new world of possibilities due to the bigger wheels in a short base! :) ENJOY
Hi Lino, I like you videos very much!
I somewhat begginer with inline skates... being rinding some 4x80mm wheels... and now a bought a Kaze supercruiser (3x110mm), but already thinking to take to the 125mm wheels... this change will make much diference at this skates?
Thanks about all the videos, they are great!!
thanks for the comment rodrigo..i don't know how tall you are.but i usually say 125 arent for everyone...on me it feels like a 100 skate on a small person... ;)
thank you so much for the feedback :) its really appreciated
I´m 1,85m (looks weird in something smaller than a 80mm wheel.. hehe)... but the skill needed and the feeling of a 125mm wheel are much diferent from a 110mm?
by the way... I´m having quite a difficult to find a 255mm frame for the Kaze boot here at Brazil (or in shops that send to here)...
And thanks for the answer...
Keep that great work... :)
Great introduction to TriSkates, Lino! Have you updated your opinion as this was long ago!
I am 6"1' and learning rollerblades (2 wheels) so what Trikates would you suggest I should start off with as I want to mainly use for commute and the roads are not that good here in India! I saw a pair where you can use your own shoes and wear the skates in 'em. Seems very practical. Do let me know if you could guide me here ! Thank you! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for all the info
Vc conhece alguma loja aqui em NY que eu possa experimentar?
great video but the end.... try skates?? I am 32 years old, last time I slide was on 4 wheel not inline skates. do you think is too late for doing this?
Despite the fact I would like to make the most of using triskates daily, their huge wheel size is too much to handle in terms of striding. I'm imagining their wheel size requires a lot of energy to push at each stroke and my stamina is currently struggling with getting on 80mm flat setup over long distances as it is (I now have to go with Hi-Lo hockey setup to accommodate 72mm). This seems daunting for urban skater who usually stops, starts, weaves, navigates uphill constantly.
I gotta admit though, they are cool and making you look like you mean business! They are like Bmx bikes for your feet.
"Hundred something billion milimiter wheels"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ossum performance
It seems like these would replicate an ice skating style of skating more the 4x 80mm? Yes? i'm keen.

Este video está top. Obrigado
nice channel! thank you! respect from Russian rollers!
Hey Ricardo how much do you think a five wheel skate is. Will appreciate a reply. Thanks
I like your videos man!! Keep it going👍🏽
awesome video mate
thank you so much!
Would be able to do high stair jumps and rail grinds with triskates? or in general be able to skate aggressively
Didn't you watch the video dumbass? He says so at 6:30
💞 I liked this video a lot. Today was my 2nd day, and I'm scared but want to skate backwards & do crossovers. I used to do these on 4-wheelers years ago but seem to be having difficulty on my new Macroblade 100mm tri skates. Tips? I enjoy your content!
Cool stuff, as a cyclist, i'm thinking trying rollerblades again, not sure where to go with 3wheels or 4wheels. Keep skating!
What type of bearing do you use in the 125mm
How someone gonna prefer a specific set up without even trying other options 1st...😑😐😂🤣💀 And Miguel looked lit AF!
So you would recommend tri skates for someone having trouble learning slides?
i would say, having less wheels means more surface on the floor..so easier to loose the grip and start sliding, also having a taller skate, means you can lean your foot with our the boot touching and sliding too much..so i would say, for me YES !
Riccardo, great channel and content, I'm a ex semi-pro hockey player, also high performance skier. I'm looking into getting into inline skating for exercise and dry land ski training. I was thinking of using a pair of custom fit hockey skates for my boot and I'm thinking a 3 wheel set up. I'm asking your advice on such a set up, or go for a carbon boot and 3 wheel set up, what do you think ?
I finally got my try skates thanks for getting me to try and dude I love them
Very nice video! I really got enough information and as You said it's time to TRY skates :)))
To practice mainly in city or country roads with firends who have
mountain bike , what would be the best choice between seba's fr1 or swell trinity and the rollerblade metroblade 3wd ?
Thanks , and what a bloody great video!
Hi. Thanks for your video. I'm 5"7, not very strong, female and have lung problems. I need inline skates which means I don't need to put too much effort in!. Guessing bigger wheels mean less effort, not a great skater. Usually indoor roller ring just going round. But now want to get into skating indoor and out door to try get fit! Any advice, I'm from uk. Hope you could advise. Thanks

Lino, for cobblestone in Portugal, 3x110 is ok? Best regards
Can i change the frame of my flying eagle origami to put on 110mm wheels?
You are inspirational!
Top channel! what is the music at the end?
Very nice video lino cheers
Rolamento pode fazer diferença em asfalto ruim?
my only concern is going down from a step
Wow i like that.. im newbie here from phippines..
I'm thinking about getting a Triskate besides my 4x80 setup. I think 3x100 would be okay for me, or would you go for 110 if you had tho choose? Anything bigger than that is too much I think
Je conseille à tout le monde de débuter en 4x80 , sur des patins evolutifs ,afin de pouvoir monter une platine 3x110 une fois qu on se sent parfaitement à l'aise en 4x80.
On prend plus de vitesse en 3x110, si on ne sait pas maîtriser sa vitesse,ça peut être assez dangereux et décourageant.
Par contre j avoue adorer la "gueule " d un patin 3x110 :)
5 Years later... 5 wheel rockered frames
6… new wizards - 6 x72mm wheels 🤷🏻♂️
@@RicardoLino Haha, you are right but I saw this Video is five years old. And I am also very curious about my 5wheel frame from Rockin Frame. When will we see more from that😉?
Bye the way the Video is very nostalgic after the Triskate hype. I also was a big fan but now I go for slightly rockered frames.
great video. question...do you think the trinity tri skate is better again. I think the trinity has three points bolted from blade to boot. in theory it sounds good. Also didn't really catch which one you were using.
mark evenden I'm using the trinity skates the most :) the POWERSLIDE KAZE are my favorite . I still use the non trinity powerslide IMPERIALS , cause I also love the stability of a hard boot. BUT 80% of the time I'll go trinity ;) it's feels seriously better , every lil movements you do with your feet transfer to the wheels . Love it 👍🏼👌🏼
What are the skates Greg has? They're so bomb
Olá,! Estou querendo montar uma base para rodas 125mm em meu patins, gostaria que você me indicasse umas rodas boas para slides.
What are the best triskates? I'm going to travel 25 kilometers every day for a year with a backpack - which should i choose? Great vid by the way! :D
