I had a rockered 4 x 80 setup sometime around 98' to 2002!!!! Now that's OLD SCHOOL!!!! While my friends were doing aggresive I was doing stuff more like wizard but I had no idea what I was doing it was just fun!!! At 45 yo, I'm going to get back into it! It was fun and since I am big time into fitness, I will be getting into endurance/speed skating too!
4x100 rockered. Rockin 4100 frames with Mushroom Blading Mugs wheels. Bought from you guys 😉👌🏾
I just bought some skates from your shop! V excited to ride on the new Next boots with endless frames :D
Awesome! Thank you!
My setups are Flat 4x64mm for agressive, 4x80mm full rocker for slalom/dance moves and 4x90 with a natural rocker for allround Street skating
Getting back into skating after 10 years off. Went with a 3x110 flat setup, which I don’t know if I would now recommend after so much time off skates but it’s so fun nonetheless, minus the dislocated shoulder but only had me off the skates 1 day. I’m addicted again.
Thanks for all this great information it’s a wonderful service you provide. One day I’ll come visit the shop and skate around Amsterdam with y’all! Peace from California USA!
welcome back!
Constantly rotating my wheels, wearing them down... I'm only 135 kgs thrashing them... lol. I skate a flat setup, constantly swapping them around using my allen key to sort my wheels diameter order, works like a charm. I consider myself still a beginner though, 4 years in but aged 50 so taking it really careful down the parks. Awesome videos dude!!!

Double rocker. 72/76/76/72 on a short straight frame. great for freestyle playing. Thanks for all the good videos
Man it makes me so happy that you're out here in 2020 making these videos for us. I hope the shop does well so you can keep doing your thing out here. Personally, I've just started, but I picked up some cheap skates that have like normal 4x80 frames with 76mm wheels on the front and back and they're so fun to move around in.
also just starting out. thank you so much @Thisissoul.
That's the setup I want 76mm front/back and 80mm in the middle. How do you rotate them with this setup to maintain wheel longevity and keep them even?
Hey! I just bumped into your channel! Your content is gold! 🙏
When I was a teenager I was a ski racer and did a lot of commuting eith my skates, I didnt want it a ricker sibce I was just : gotta go fast !
I rocked those 100mm long. Now Im more focused, flat for my 3x125 setup, a 4x90 setup with significant rocker,. And I think id like a 4x110 one too dont want too much but a bit is fine. With an aggressive setup Id say Im not decided yet
Been skating flat for the last 8 month! Tried one of my pairs of skates today with Anti again and I absolutely hated it! Sure hitting grinds was easier but cruising up to the obstacles / curbs / rails sucked!
I like flat more.
I'm keeping the four wheels (rocker) in a row, but swapping them left-to-right / front-to-rear / inside-out every few sessions. Keeping the wear even, since my rears are wearing much faster than the fronts.
Was weer een leuke Ivo. Ik skate zelf flat met een kleine rocker er in, die er dus zoals jij aangeeft in gekomen is door te skaten. Mijn hardheid is 88-92-92-88 dus de middelste slijten ook wat minder hard dan de rest. bij het begin waren ze allemaal 58mm
Awesome
Anti rocker for grinderblading, 3x110 for city slicking and 4x100 for distance ✌️
Yo, this is a really great channel with great content...
Thanks man!
Cool video mate. Thank you
No problem 👍
Good job on your review bud
Those are Razors with your Wizard frames right? Don't you find them too flexy and soft for 4x100 rockered skating? Or does the Intuition liner give you enough support? I love rockered skates. Maybe it's because I play ice hockey. However, I find a 4x80mm rockered a bit too unstable for urban skating unless I am practicing slalom. I have a poor man's wizard set-up with K2 R100 and Unnatural boots and I like that but it does feel heavy and a bit cumbersome. Right now I'm liking the Endless 90 set up on a pair of Flying Eagle F6s. Keep up the great video content!
Thanks!
Awesome setups man.
The Intuition liner makes the Shift stiffer, it still isnt as good as a Seba CJ skate however. For me the changing of the soulframe option is what makes me use this boot.
Always using my NR100 Wizard skates
so happy with them
Whats your boot size?
40
Just to add some flavor, I will tell you what I've been using. I have Powerslide 100's triskates. I buy 4 new wheels and put a worn wheel on the back. It's my poor man's wizards. lol. It lacks stability but is great for maneuverability. My center wheel breaks often from it taking too much of the force and weight of my skating. I'm waiting on my Kizer Flux frames to come in. They are a more well-engineered rockered frame. At 4x90, I should have all the speed and maneuverability I want. And, I hope broken wheels are a thing of the past.
Endless Arc ES 165 Frame for 5 wheels.
Rollerblade Hydrogen Wheels 80mm middle/76mm front and back
Thank you for great channel and content, really useful to watch, thumbs up for that.
I skate on flat rocker 90mm Powerslide Next, but my wheels wear down so quickly, I skate almost every day (around 50 min each session), so after one month of skating my wheels are pretty much dead. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. The wheel firmness I usually go for is 85A or more. For my next skates I'll probably try triskates 110m
PS I liked how kids were amused watching you skating :)
Big wheels! So it takes longer to wear them down ;) And make sure to shred them till they are really finished!
Damn, if you kill them in one month fee things could be happening, the wore depends on the surface you skating, on how often and how hard you carve and t-stop, and lastly your weight, the heavier the more they wore off, also the material, brand and quality of the wheel...
But even having all that in mind, i feel like 1 month of life for a set of wheels is way too short...
Have you ever heard of viiroll skates?
It has 4 or 6 wheels and the 6 wheels have a built-in rocker. Usually only 2 or max 4 wheels touches the ground at the same time.
It's like a quad and inline hybrid. It wobbles but it's very stable.It's not widespread. I wonder what a pro skater thinks about is, because I never met anyone beside myself who had one.
That shirt!!!! I want it! :) Please make sure to restock on ThisIsSoul clothing in your online shop!!! ; )
Thanks! we are working on a new line :)
@@Thisissoul - Awesome! I can't wait! Oh and please bring back the black ThisIsSoul Patch with the Anti-rocker-Skate on it!
thanks for the info! I hope you lowered the volume of the backtrack in newer videos. Peace!
we did :)
which frame is the grey one? (in the first skate you shown) tnx :-)
It seems that the rockered frame only provides benefit when the wheels are completely new? In other words the wheels on the rockered and non-rockered frames will look completely the same over time since what dictates the maintenance of the rocker is the relative rate that the front, middle, and back wheels wear down. Since the rate of wear between the wheels doesn't seem to be changing between the rockered and non-rockered frames eventually they will which reach some equilibrium and look identical. Please correct me if I am wrong.
correct
Net een Endless 100/110 frame met rocker bij jullie besteld en onder mijn FR1 Deluxe gezet met 4x100mm. Nog niet uit kunnen proberen vanwege de regen.
Gruwelijke setup!
Hi. I know this is an old video, but would appreciate your input. I have never skated rockered before, and I am wondering, do the middle wheels wear down faster than the outer wheels? If so, doesn't that make it flat-rockered again?
the outer wheels always wear down faster! so all skates will always get a rocker and it is self sustaining.
Are you supposed to oil your wheels or some sort of lubrication or just keep them dry?
I'm worried that not rotating wheels will let the rocker grow too much for me. Then I'll have to rotate and skate on a big anti rocker for a few less-fun weeks to flatten it out.
Actually if your technique is ok the rocker does not get too extreme. Just pkay woth it and see where it goes. I never change wheel positions ever and its fine
@@Thisissoul excellent thank you!
So you don’t recommend the endless frames ?
Thanks for the content, but one tip: if you're asking your audience to hear differences in pitch, you might want to tone down the music, or even better, stop the music altogether.
Oops, it sounds like a really noticable 'click' or 'tick'
ik heb hi lo frame met 72-76-80-76
76-80-80-76 lukte niet want dan had je een wiel tegen elkaar
ah slim!
Flat since 94 ;)
I'm "rocking " a poor man's rocker. I've stopped swooping my wheels about to see what happens
4 X 76
4x80 full banana is amazing
