Um dos meus canais favoritos no CZcams, inspiração para meus treinos de patinação! 🙏🏻 Thank you

Nice tutorial ! I'll try it in today's session 😊

Yes, I totally agree about the sliding! It's just weird to see people slide all the time

Showing love from an ice skater .⛸️🛼⛸️🛼

I liked it! There is nothing to add. I do morning exercises + before skating.

When you want a hockey rocker but not enough budget

I remember rockering my '94 Bravoblade GLs and never went back to flat. after 20 years of not skating, I got some 3x110's and I'm thinking of gettting rocker frames.

Owoouuuu that was personal! I support you!

🙏🙏🙏🙏

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you 🙏

The flow and mastery is strong in this Jedi

Excellent.

But there is still 1 question unanswered. What is the exact product name. These days there are tons of frames on their website. Anyone knows ?

Why can’t I find my video….

7:07 I think it looks rad with non matching wheels. I have some of those frames and love them.

Great review :) Would you say these frames feel really different compared to a 4x80 2mm rocker setup when doing tricks?

I go from wheels to ice often. I got some sick looking rockin 5x80 frames and I like them but any frame that makes the front/back wheels to stick out are gonna feel slow and mess with your spacing when you crossover, I already took a slam doing the crazy. I would say long frames are only useful for toe/heel presses, which I don't love at all how they look so I don't perform them (gotta be the ugliest move in the history of inline skates, to me anyway). I'm gonna keep the frames because I do like the feeling but my conclusion is that 4x80 banana rocker is by far my favorite setup, it is almost 1 to 1 to ice blades.

After watching this for the millionth time I see something I need to keep in mind. It is sort of a pump. You turn into almost a stop and unweight to pump through this transition. I am going to try this on ice with hockey skates. As I have learned to skate this winter I have been watching more wizard tutorials learning stuff that will transition to inline this summer. The rocker on hockey skates is perfect for this stuff. It has been super fun.

I would add a random one, if you walk in barefoot shoes eg vibram then it will improve your foot muscles and knee + hip stability much more than regular trainers/sneakers.

Watched this a couple of times now. It gives me a bit to think on and research. We have a lot of the same ideas, I think. But my approach to training is quite different.

I really appreciate you posting this! Flow skating can be intense, especially with torsional forces. Having a strong core AND a strong back is really important. I stopped strength training when COVID hit, and right around turning 30 this year, I gave myself a major strain in my right lat while doing a lion. Also can't recommend enough warming up for 5-10 minutes for any exercise to get your body ready for whatever range of motion you need from it.

Why don't you film your workout?

Thanks a lot for the review! I wanted to buy them for slalom, but still unsure. I currently use FR freestyle frames (72/84) and enjoying how maneuverable they are, even compared to 4x80 frames. Doing flatland on the side with the regular arc frames made me fall in love with the longer wheel base and I wondered how arc cs with the biggest rockering option would do on cones. Do you think the three center wheels (68-76-68) have enough rocker to do slalom? (One footed spins around cones for example) PS. The frames look insanely good on FRs!

Keep posting please !

Thank you I was wondering what happened to SEBA

Great breakdown. I appreciate the perspective as I get further into testing these. I'm gonna try some of the configurations you mentioned here and see what my experience with them is. I definitely appreciate when a frame provides so many options because of the nature of the "one size fits all" mentality that is pretty well built into any scene that uses a modular mount skate. I'll really be interested to know if we come to similar conclusions being we wear the same size skate.

Yeah I've been thinking of buying the Arc frame, and asked Brad from endless if he had any thoughts on whether I should go for the Arc CS frame, or the Arc, (my size is EU40 or UK6, or 250 mm) and he said Arc, and seemed very definite about it. Exclamation mark and everything. I thought the CS was meant to be for small sizes, Arc for middle, ES for the bigfoot skaters?

I've had endless 100/110s and I like them just fine, I have some trinity 90s on my doops, but I'll be sticking with me wizard frames. I think you're gonna really dig the ARCs for your style.

I would agree that for anyone who skates a lot, experimenting with different frame sizes but keeping your wheel size the same is worthwhile. I flip between a 4x84mm and 4x90mm frame and have used all sorts of wheels on them, usually one size down from the max size so 80mm on the 84’s and 84mm on the 90s.

Interesting that you moved the frames back. I always felt a bit off trying to do backward 3 turns on my Arc CS, but I mainly chalked that up to lack of experience rather than the frame. Not really good at them on a banana rocker or ice skates either.

Nice analysis! I was able to get a pair of Arc CS earlier this month and I absolutely love them! They are insanely fun at the skating rink! 11/10 Your video makes me want to experiment a little more with the different rocker settings; I set mine to silver down but haven’t tried any other rocker settings yet

Ha, great! I bought myself the ARC for Christmas. Glad I made the right choice. 🙂

I love to see you making good use of all the little features on the Arc frames that were discussed and debated for so long. You’ve even found some tweaks that I don’t think were even part of the design scope (using wheel diameter and axle to fine-tune the front rocker), which is really exciting to see! More than any other frame, people really seem to be making the CS their own. I was also glad to see that you found some of your assumptions about five wheel frames challenged as you tested these. I’ve only skated the CS in its default rocker configuration with the frame dead-center, but I’ve skated it a lot. I haven’t had that tiny triskate + trick wheel feeling and my wheel wear is consistent with my other five wheel frames (most to least wear going from front to back). I’m sure that if I went to a stronger rocker I’d start to feel and see those things though.

Maybe I missed your point but it sounds pretty narrow minded to me... Here's my pov: "invention" of Wizard frames and style changes the landscape of skating in a positive way. Before, 4x80 or triskates where basically forced on every ones feet, which is not ideal for many many skaters... Regardless of whether you like the aestetics and naming, I think what sounds restrictive, actually lead to more freedom and experimenting for a wide range of skaters... Leon spent a lot of his own money and time to create something to improve skating experience not knowing if anybody would buy it. Taking that risk is already enough to honor him by calling it wizard skating is what I think 😉 ...where is that animal called stunami from again? 😝

🇧🇷 Awesome !

1) I think only an extremely small percentage of people would think wizard branded frames are mandatory - proof: all these alternative brands like Endless would struggle if this were the case 2) No offense but there's only one place this can go - you're going to kick and scream about this for years, and eventually realise you don't have the pull required to create any real change, then you'll get bitter with the sport and leave. Or you'll stay and just be bitter. Why would you do this shit to yourself? Use your energy on something more productive. I get stuff like this can be annoying, I was the same when I was around your age.

words of wisdom~!

Yeah, it’s problematic. I mean, I get that people use “mushroom blading” to describe the blend of “wizard” and aggressive skating, since Joey and Todd really developed and pushed that style, on all sorts of setups, not necessarily with their own wheels. I also kind of like the idea of “flow skating,” the blend of urban skating, parkour and swivelling Shaun did (does?) so well. It’s a vague name, but that’s okay: I’d rather have big, fuzzy categories than very small and strict divisions. But well, it doesn’t matter what I like or want, does it? Language is defined by its users and if most people keep using “wizard skating” for what we know to _be_ wizard skating, that’ll be the name that sticks. Until someone invents a really cool alternative name for the style of _rollerblading_ we associate with Leon and his disciples. But I’ll just keep rolling and let other people do the thinking. 😇

I kind of liked Brock’s name for it “ugly figure skating” 😂 all the turns already have names, they aren’t new, all of them exist in figure skating

Don’t forget: everything we do is done with a Rollerblade.

LOL. love it 😅

Hahaha. This is the biggest truth I’ve seen all week. I love the growth “Wizard” skating is experiencing, but most of the flatland things in it are newly stylized versions of basic figure skating moves, renamed. Which is awesome! But there are so many options on the market that make this type of skating efficiently executable. Just like you don’t need a specific figure skate to pull of the fundamental moves in figure skating, you don’t need the standard Wizard skate to pull off flatland skating. And can we please pay some homage to where the moves came from? It’s not appropriate to appropriate.

I go the 'wrong' way until the the 45/power strap area and then I run runners lacing twice drom the boot to cuff area.

It's very rare that wizard movement tutorial with 4x80 skates on you tube. Thank you so much :)

Well I went the other way around, started rollerblading and inspired by your videos with Brock and then moved into inline figure skating and ice figure skating
