I really appreciate the beginner friendly content. Getting some friends into blading and these videos have been a big help with explaining fundamentals
Hi from England. Thank you so much for your videos. I am just starting skating in my 30's and your lessons around the park are helping me soooo much and giving me confidence to try it. You are really helpful.
I'm from NI and turning 40. I first tried crappy Sports Direct inline skates about 2 years ago. This year I decided to take it to the next level though. I'm also learning to paddle surf. 😊
I wish you set up shop in Sweden too because I would love to see a rejuvenation of the inline scene that we had back in the mid nineties here in Gothenburg! I miss those days! 👍🏾🙏🏾
@@Thisissoulso as a beginner we don’t have to use 80s and higher wheels, we can use smaller wheels? Are there any drawbacks to it? Also can rockering wheels help with maneuverability as a beginner with crossovers and turning for strictly leisure cruising for recreation? Thanks
@@t.terrell7037 I started a few days ago on 3x100's, it doesn't really matter much what wheel size or setup you choose if you keep practicing. Just any larger than 110 (so basically 125) would probably be unnecessarily hard as a beginner. Drawbacks to smaller wheels are that they're harder on rough surfaces cos you get stuck a lot easier, especially as a beginner like me. I don't really have a lot of nice and smooth surfaces in my town, a lot of f'd up cobblestone so I'm super happy with the big wheels. As far as I know from my days of researching everything before buying a decent pair of skates, you can rocker your skates for better maneuverability while still being stable on a 4x76/80/90 setup. Rockered frames should help crossovers too because of that, just gets a little harder for beginners if the wheelbase is too long on like 4wd/5wd skates rather than triskates. But still most people would probably recommend a 4x80 or 4x90 setup for people new to skating, unless your city really sucks like in my case.
This makes me want to pick up my skates, they been in my closet for months now and I just never went out to learn but this is so tempting! I want to flow like that.
You are the best guide in UA-cam period. Saw tons of videos, but man you explain it the best and also on the fun way😂 I just hope your relationship with the ground didn’t went too far 😅
I watched a lot of youtube channels Found two who explain and teach very nicely One is yours You are a good teacher and a guide Keep it up And thankyou
@@RVR_theBot_FPV Probably Bill Stoppard, dude is a gem when it comes to teaching precisely and straight to the point and hilarious af at the same time, super fun to watch and learn.
Hi there! First off thank you for your indept and down to earth explanations, really helpful! You talk about rockered wheels in the beginning - would you recommend it for general use? (My frames enables it by turning the bolt front and back) I find it quiet hard to do sharper turns and said lemons without it, but the stability loss feels like alot. I don't know if it just takes a bit more practice with or strength to do without 😅 the asphalt here is generally quiet rough and grippy and thought that could be a reason 🤷🏻 Thanks in advance 😊
I would not use those rocker spacers. Your wheelbase is probably too short for it to be stable. 5x 76mm or 4x100 mm Rockered frames are great. 4x80mm rockered frames are too unstable

good to hear!
If you live in Europe this is literally the best skateshop to buy from
I live in Australia and I buy everything from them too.
Been buying from there for over 15 years. Agreed.
Wish this was in the UK
Agreed!! Best shop ever!
I agree it’s a good shop

@@irishspud438 nice one mate. I got my skates from decathlon.

You could also set up a shop yourself in Sweden!
@@Thisissoul Hahaha! I skate purely for recreation not business!😎
Are you seeing more people skating lately? In some areas of the world there's been a bit of a revival.

@@Thisissoul Thanks man! Appreciate it ✌🏻
What a great video! I subscribed
Thank you! I wish I could practice :( but it will be rainyy. Do you ever skate in the rain ?
Hi -- So is the Snowplow better than Pizza point at higher speeds? How does one decide which to use (Snowplow or Pizza Point)?
one is for stopping, the other is for breaking. watch our video about this to learn more ua-cam.com/video/ar5cdY31Y-w/v-deo.htmlsi=iN0UmGWaQtmLiVWo
Thank you for this
You're so welcome!
"hey, Ground..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thats so funny... i love it
Aiiiy guys! do you think i can preform slalom moves on a flat setup? hard but possible or a big nah?
Definitely possible.
Getting a rocker makes it easier though.

The camera man be rollerblading as well, camera's too smooth 😭
7:16 that dog got caught on camera
And at 10:24 there is a dog taking themselves for a walk 😆
I really like this your skate, please do well to send it to me . I'm from Nigeria 🇳🇬
no problem. you can order them online on our webshop thisissoul.com. we ship all over the world
Who is this for bro?
How to👆🏻👆🏻??
If only you guys had an American team 😢.. love your content ❤ though.
You mean american team riders? Maybe some day!
"you practically cannot fall anymore"
hohoho I wish!
Yeah that was a strange thing to say. If you hit a crack that catches your wheels just the wrong way "you is goin' down" (Al Pacino in Heat).
I am unable to precision stop just because I cannot tell where to put the effort. Somehow I gain more speed instead 😭😭.

you mention safety but you dont wear a helmet
I am not doing flips here, right? Just skating around for me is like walking.
flow? They’re only meant for hockey.
What's hockey?
5 wheel frames for hockey? Haha that one was good xD
