    Glad to see a triskate can have a heel brake, none of the ads show it.
    Maybe it's not considered cool to use it, but I'd rather stop the way I'm used to than break my bones trying to look cool.
    I'm 48, I should be careful with my body, and cool is overrated anyway.

      all of our fitness skates do come with a brake + all of our urban skates can be upgarded with a perfectly fitting brake if needed. most of our team skaters prefer the non-brake version but of course, as you said, safety is key and we also prefer security and a safe stop over coolness. thanks for your support!

Starting off with pottering about in my kitchen with micro movements and practicing and learning from your techniques before I venture into the wider world.👍💞🙏

    I tottaly agree that the heel brake is important. For me, it's the best way to control my down hill speeds. For one, it's safer then T-dragging when I'm going 28 mph on short steep hills. I've only been skating for about 4 months now, I'm getting better at use the the slolom to slow down, but I will never take the break off. I'm 47 yrs old, I don't care about looking cool lol

    Fantastic! Finally someone that showed the difference in wheel base length. That shows a lot. Maneuverability. Thank you. Question: With a four-wheeled skate rotating keeps wear and tear even. With a "tri", the front and rear obviously wear more. Have you felt any abnormal rocking because of the less wear in the middle wheel? Thank you again.

    • @PowerslideInlineskates
      @PowerslideInlineskates  Před 7 lety +6

      thanks for the feedback! about wear and tear: this always is connected strongly to your personal skating technique, if you push more from your toes or double push more often, skate backwards/fakie a lot and even frame positioning. we haven´t noticed any difference when changing wheels to a 4 wheel setup. best advice would be to check which wheel has the most wear and place it in the middle. if all done correctly, this will make your wheels last longer, both on 4 and 3 wheel skates =)

Which kind of inline skates can you suggest me to get? The 3 or the 4 wheeler one?!?!! Also, I have seem some with the wheels' diameter bigger like the all the 3-wheeler but even in four-wheeler. Any difference in the diameter regarding the purpose? Thanks beforehand.

    • @PowerslideInlineskates

  • @kathycormiersuntanningrebe7870

    Do you have any videos with ramp skating with the three wheels? And how hard are these wheels? For me, my experience, it is the harder the wheel, the more smoother the skating. On another post, Poweslide said tricks can be done with the larger 3 wheels.

  • @p6x2
    @p6x2 Před 8 lety

    Are you able to stop in parallel slide with these three wheeler skates? or only the power slide as you demonstrated? although, you are not using the 125mm wheels, but could you do it with them? I skate with Powerslide Marathon 4 x 110, but I am unable to do the parallel slide with them.

    • @SkatefreshVideos
      @SkatefreshVideos Před 8 lety +1

      I am currently injured with a serious hip problem so i can't do parallel Slide right now in any wheel sizes. It put too much strain on my injury. Personally I have always used the forwards entries into Powerslide because compared to the Parallel slide they are so much easier AND more effective. I like ease and efficiency over difficulty any time, but especially now when my body is suffering from an injury, I need to take it slightly easier. The larger wheels will make parallel slide more difficult to execute yes. Good luck!

    • @p6x2
      @p6x2 Před 8 lety

      I am sorry to hear about your injury, I bid you my earnest wishes for a prompt recovery. You have answered my query in any case. I was not requesting you to execute the slide, but simply asking if it could be done. Thanks!

  • @johnnycboi
    @johnnycboi Před 8 lety

    Totally understand how the benefit of larger wheels influence roll and speed and the necessity to go to 3 wheels helps to allow the shorter wheel base distance for better maneuverability. However, I don't quite understand how a 'middle' wheel is better for power transfer. Please explain... Thanks.

    • @TheRainbowRose90
      @TheRainbowRose90 Před 8 lety +1

      Hi John,
      The middle wheel helps with power transfer and turning because its located directly under the middle of your foot, allowing for more efficient striding. If you look up a pair of frames called "Wizard frames" (you can numerous "test them out" videos on youtube) you'll see that those frames were designed with a "natural rocker" setup, meaning that the third wheel is slightly elevated, allowing you to pivot and turn more effectively. Although those frames are designed to use 4 wheels, those concept is pretty much the same for these skates and those frames. :)

      @neillhunnisett278 Před 5 lety

      The 110 are for long distances and have the speed you need. The 125s are for more advanced skaters and the 100s arent as quick as the 110s. I hope i answered your question.

  • @ozpain1
    @ozpain1 Před 7 lety

    so, are these faster than 4 wheels of the same size? looking to upgrade my Tempest 90 c inlines with the 110 setup Rollerblade offers

    • @PowerslideInlineskates
      @PowerslideInlineskates  Před 7 lety

      no, these will not be faster then 4x same size wheels, but close to similar speed. the beauty of our triskates is that you are more agile with the same size wheels because of the shorter length in general. speed is equal, maybe a little bit less then on 4 wheels. BUT: usually because of the frame mounting and frame designs, the 3 wheel version is always lower than the 4 wheel version. so you gain not only agility but also lots of control by the lower center of gravity. if done right, you can skate bigger wheel sizes with triskates and be on the exact same hight than with smaller wheels on 4 wheels. = 3x110mm can be the same hight as 4x100mm and so on. for your 90mm version, a well designed 3x100 mm frame will be faster, same hight and more agile. 3x110 might be slightly higher then 4x90, still shorter and more agile, but 10 times faster.

    • @ozpain1
      @ozpain1 Před 7 lety +1

      That was such a magnificent explanation, and I apprectiate the information so so much! I'm going to try three wheeling it now for certain! The Rollerblade Urban Pack frame settup will probably be the direction for me. So excited and seriously, thank you very much!

    • @Illestrapper
      @Illestrapper Před 4 lety

      You can off set the frame to compensate for your posture or practice with 1 skate on and 1 shoe and rotate it around. Gently push and lift your shoe foot and glide on 1 foot as straight as possible on your skate. This will help you build up your confidence, your connective tissues and your balancing muscles and help you skate on your skates with straight wheels. Furthermore make sure that your skates are tight enough as many people leave themselves too much loose which makes it very difficult to stay straight on the skates.

    I noticed that skating up hill in my 3x100s are more difficult then 4x90s.

    • @Illestrapper
      @Illestrapper Před 4 lety

      3X100 should be easier up hill than 4X90s and 4X100 should be harder than 4X90 due to the fact that 3X100 has less friction and thus less resistance to movement. You may need to relearn technique as the larger the wheel the higher up your center of gravity. Using the same positioning as your 90s will not give you the proper force and you have to dip down a bit more.

      she also covers in another video the proper stance while skating. But when using the heel brake method. You do start to crouch down like she demonstrates. But it's always about balance and of course...practice! Over time I suspect you get better and better and don't have to do that as much.

    How to correctly use the heel brake:
    Step 1, remove the heel brake.
    Step 2, stop some other way.

      I would agree with you only when that person can safely balance on one skate for several metres (which is the pre-requisite skill for T-Stopping which is essential if you skate without a brake). The fact is the majority of skaters are not "naturals" and cannot balance on one skate for several metres until several months into their skating life, and in this time the heel brake certainly works to build their balancing skills, basic confidence and allows them to be safe when out practicing in those important few months.
      You were probably one of the naturals who could stop with various methods when you first started. Well done for having it already. But your opinion is potentially dangerous for an average beginner adult to follow. In my experience. Different suggestions work for different people and it's unwise to blanket advise the removal of brakes.
      Would you tell your friend to remove the brakes from their bicycle and tell them to rub their foot on the floor instead (like a T stop)? This is my favourite heel brake debate question.
      It's one of my favourite topics.....as you can see.

      Well if it helps people with low agility to learn than that's great but I never want to see an experienced skater use one. I would say that training wheels on a bike is a better analogy than the brakes (even though they are both brakes haha) because while they can be helpful in the beginning, you certainly don't want to have to rely on them forever. At speed a heel brake will pull you up after a good couple of meters but a hockey stop will pull you up instantly which may be enough to avoid that little kid that jumped out on the pathway.

      I have read other peoples responses both neutral and seemingly angry on this topic, and I think your take is what makes you a good teacher. I am a teacher as well (not of skating), and a bad new skater. The understanding that people come with different skills and pick up different aspects of skating is very important for someone in your position and it is appreciated.
      I am struggling with T-stops and slides are next to non-existent at this point, but I do keep trying. It is very reassuring to have a break on (don't always have it on) for when I need it. It is especially good for stopping in a straight like in pedestrian traffic if needed.
      I am very excited to see where this attempt at learning to skate properly at 54 yo leads me.
      Thanks for the great videos.

      I can stop without a break but wheels are pricey:P Therefore I still choose to use a break for cruising.

      Nonsense... I'm a natural I think, starting to learn powerstops after a week.... but what you do when you suddenly encounter a steep slope without space, drag your wheels down the whole way? It's also a great way to control speed for me if I'm tired because it doesnt't need much effort or concentration... If I can, I use other stopping methods, 'cause I hate the aweful sound it makes but that's no reason to take it off unless you ride stairs or ramps...

    I completely disagree with the heelbrake philosophy. I found it no easier to use as a beginner than the drag brake, and when you learn the heel brake first the only thing you're doing is creating an unnecessary dependancy on something that can limit your mobility.

    • @SkatefreshVideos
      @SkatefreshVideos Před 7 lety +3

      I think dependency on any one skill or method is not advisable. But learning Stopping methods in a sequential order (from easy to more difficult) just makes sense and allows skills to be acquired one by one and more deeply. I would never want a skater to remain with just a heel brake if they had the capacity to learn and do more things.

    • @PaulsViewsReviews

      I agree with you, Asha. The heel brake is a useful assurance when people are learning. It doesn't create a dependancy as long as you move on once you're feeling more confident. One good fall from a beginner without a heel brake and confidences are hard to build back up!

      it's all about baby steps I'd say for this. I'm back into blading after a few years and I will say balance and proper stance are key. Learn the basics with balance. It's not going to be easy for us beginners, but learning is part of it. Once you've gotten good at heel brake then trying another method. But really learning to slow down/stop is what matters most despite the method.

    people dont know how to heel brake? probably shouldn't be on skates. I think i learned that instinctively when I was 5 years old trying on my first pair of blades.
