- Are you still in doubt? Three- or four- wheel frames for your setup?
Both have their pro's and cons. What do you skate?

I really appreciate you guys trying to find the right words to use even though it's a 2nd language.
We hope it's been getting better over the years ;)
@@Thisissoul wouldja look at that Mr. Soul, it appears we have some bots/spammers in our conversation. How unsightly.
I remember back when the USA used to have inline skate shops. Now I'm lucking if my local sporting goods store has a single pair of bottom of the line skates.
I agree. They need to make inlines with better cushioning and comfort. That will make people skate more I think.
@@catha86 that already does exist since the 90s....
Its called soft boot.
2024, no one sells near me. Have to order online. Hard to guess a good fit without trying em on. 🍻 🛼
This is the most straight to the point more informative vid I’ve found so far, thanks for all the help
Best shirt on youtube.
Thank you for the helpful video!
Very cool video, nice explanation 💯
Being poor here in India and dont even effort normal inline skates but seeing all these gorgeous skates all day just chills me...i used to imagine if i have these..omg.ill cry
don't cry you're making me cry😢
Dude, I live in the usa and I STILL can’t afford skates. I’ll be praying for you 💗
I've been to India. You aren't that poor. You have the internet and a smart phone. Don't be ridiculous.
@@andrewturner4316 youve BEEN to India. You didnt say you LIVE in India.
India is also a big country and the parts you have BEEN in may not be the same part where this person LIVES at.
Calm down and stop acting like an ass
@@andrewturner4316 bro probably went to one rich touristy area in India and thinks he knows the entire country 💀💀
I had not been skating in 20 years and since my son was learning I decided to get a pair. I was getting sick of the poor quality rentals but also was not sure how much my son would be with into it so I just was looking for best price in my size. I was originally going to go with a 4 wheel but the boot was uncomfortable so I returned and went with a 3 wheel 100m. I started out on them at our local indoor rink. I found them to be great. The only Recent experience I had was using the rental in-line skates so anything would be better then that. Now when I went outside I was having major problems just going from a poor quality parking lot to the paved trail. I was finding that when the wheels would go into a pit all the weight would be transferred to one wheel and if it was the center wheel I would not be able to balance. When on the trail over all I was good. I do think the 100m are better then smaller wheels when on the trail but I would rather have started with 4 of them. Now that my son is really into skating and we go to the trail all the time I am thinking about getting another pair. I’m kind of torn on what I want to get. I’m looking at 4 wheels. But since the quality of the trail is ruff in spots I am thinking of going with even a 110. But am thinking that I could increase my skill level with turning stopping better on 90 or smaller
You could also go with 4 big wheels like 4x100 for example if you liked big wheels but dont like having 3 wheels.
4x90 would be a pretty standard setup nowadays
@@blackyraypatrick9041 Thank you! I didn't know they made larger wheels past 90 for 4 wheels.
@@deltafour1212 the 4x100 endless frame could be pretty sweet though.
Long enough to offer more stability, big wheels to roll over nearly any surface but prerockered with natural rocker to offer a bit more agility :)
And your welcome. There are not many things that do not exist anymore. We are in really great times...
@@blackyraypatrick9041 3*125
Thank u for clearing the difference with demonstration. Since iam a beginner 4 wheel looks good for start. :")
THIS WAS SOOOO HELPFUL
I started 7 years ago with 4*80 wheels rockered placed . Now I bought 3 * 110 wheels, they go very fast, you can make turns with them and you don't notice all the small bumps on the bike path. Now I alternately use the 4*80 rockered to make figures like figure skating on ice. And alternately the 3*110 for speed and as a good taining. So they both have their pros and cons It is all about what you want to do with the type of scate
Yea i dont like his bias about 4 wheels in the videos. In the video description he writes, both has its pros and cons but in the video it was more like three weels only has cons.
And the worst con was when he says. 4 wheels are always lower to the ground.... I mean you can also have 4x100 wheels and 3x90..... So no its not the amount of wheels what puts you lower to the ground but the wheel size.
Besides that its a pretty long video but not mentioning nany pros and cons for both wheels. Whats for example with the weight? Grip especially on turns and on slippery surface. There could have been much more value.
In my opinion. 4 wheels suits more people especially more beginners but there is definitely no superior setup since it always depends on the need of a person....
Thanks so much for this guys
Great review, thank you. No brainer for me. I am going to go 4or safety vs speed (4 wheels it is). As a long time mountain biker I have learned long ago if your injured your not riding. One thing I should also point out...wear a helmet and the wrist guards when blading. I know, I know, it doesn't look cool but, again, from experience a lot can go wrong and if it goes wrong on concrete you will wish you took my council.
100% on the wristguards at all times, helmet, maybe not as needed if you are young, fall well, and are not doing crazy stuff. Older people and people bad on blades should at all times be wearing a helmet.
I agree. My husband has these skates. I get terrified. There are no brakes?? Why? Like even with helmet and pads he gets beat up going down these Minnesota hills and trails. I will continue to ride my bike and pray for my husband. Lol
@@seanturner1059 there are breaks. The wheels are the breaks and in a really experienced skater some breaking methods with wheels outperform a heelbreak.
A powerstop or magic slide have much more breaking power than a heel break. But it takes lot of training to reach that level of course....
I love my tri skates, they are fast, maneuverable, ... But oh man, there's nothing like 4 wheels when you face some stairs :)
Facts! More about stability and such in the next video about frames!
What do you think?
I played ice hockey for several years so my ice skating skills are great..
I am also good on the road but didnt do it so many years..
35 now. I wanna buy my rollers now..
My friend is recommending me 3 wheels ones.. Should i buy 3 or 4 one??
@@jonbonesmahomes7472 when in doubt, buy 4 wheels. They give you more control and stability.
@@jonbonesmahomes7472 I am a free skater I own 4 pairs of skates. 3 wheels is speed 4 wheels stability, I have 3x125 lots of speed low stabilitiy and avarage manoevrability, 3 x100 speed + good manoeuvrability good stability, 4x90 agreeable speed + very good stability avarage manoevrability, 4X80 low speed ,good stability, good manoeuvrabilty.
My fovourite set up 3x100, fits my lazy skating perfectly
@@Thisissoul and i did 👌💪
This Christmas i bough a 4 wheel ones.
Good ones..
Enjoying it. 👌💪
Perfectly answer my question 😊 bravo guys , thank you for the video 🙌✨
Very informative 👏🏼
If i want longer three wheel frames, for more balance, wich ones do i choose?
Honestly… I thought it would be the complete opposite? Bigger wheels means you don’t have to worry about little stones or twigs as much. If they’re spaced apart slightly more wouldn’t that be more stable over various types of terrain? That’s what I’ve heard anyway. I’m looking for my first pair of blades in over 20yrs. I’ll probably go with 4wd but I’m confused on the wheel size. I’m getting either 80mm, 84mm or 90mm at the biggest. I know the bigger the wheel the further off the ground and the less stability. But I think for city skating or maybe a bike path I’m leaning toward the 84mm-90mm wheel size that would handle small twigs and uneven terrain better than say an 80mm? I’m not sure but would like to be able to get an aluminum frame where I could upgrade to a bigger wheel or at least have the option. I’ll probably start 80-84mm and RB macroblade 80 makes an aluminum blade that lets you go from 80mm to 84mm wheel if you want…which is nice to have that option. I was looking at the Twisters I think and they’re a nice solid boot with wheel upgrade options. I could be wrong I’m doing research looking for any suggestions
check out a few more videos on our channel about this topic, then it might be more clear for you.
Exactly 💯
Thank you guys
do you know a website to get those rollerblades
Thank you!
Do you ship in philippines? Or online transactions?
I have 4x100 a lot of bike paths I go on are rough, its manageable. Also by now the wheels are probably 90mm and had to remove one wheel since I lost a screw and did not get a chance to replace it. Stability is fine maneuverability is ok. I want to see if I can squeeze 110 mmm in there :) either way fun to roll. Oh and yeah in the video you guys are talking about big wheel big wheel and don't mention size of the big wheel.
Good video thanks
Lekker gedaan mannen
Thanks for this. Although i was hoping and still looking the comparison of 3vs4 of the same wheel size. I dont think different wheel size is an apt comparison. But i agree 80x4 are the best all-rounder and beginnee combo for its stability. Ive used 80s for nearly 20 years for urban street skating but looking to uograde.
That comparison is easy to make! just take one wheel out of your 4 wheel setup and it will skate less good. no competition.
2:48 epic moment
Erik bloopers zijn bijna nog leuker dan Ivo bloopers 🤣
People call tri skates gimmicks but it just depends on what you learn on, I learned on tri skates and it probably made me take a little longer but I still use the same pair constantly and they are perfect for cruising long distance (couple of kilometers) I will admit though that 4 wheels feels more connected to the ground, like a scooter vs a bike kinda deal. You feel like you could just step like walking, the larger tri setup definitely makes it harder for beginners by raising them up higher and making it more daunting to do things like brake down hill or power slide. My completely untrained opinion, do not start on tri skates but once you get comfortable in a more conventional style pick up a pair of tri skates. Trust me they are really fun even if you end up falling down some stairs because the middle wheel acts like a pivot point 👍
ofcourse you can learn to deal with any disatvantage.
all the speed you want from the tri skate you can get from a 4x100 with a rocker as well and they are much more stable and also go over bad surfaces better. nobody who I know who tried both prefers 3 wheels over that.
It does helpful for me because I wana to buy... Great
came for the skates but the music in the video is so nice! this music has some brazilian vibes 🥰
edit reached 2:41 now, indeed, brazilian mpb
One question please. We have a problem here in Thailand with small stones. You get a great smooth path that will get littered with small stones. The stones get caught between the wheels ( even on an 80mm ) or between the wheel and boot.This tends to happen unexpectedly at cruising or high speed and jams the wheels. ( Dangerous)
Any suggestions? Great video 👍👍
hm weird. i never ever had that problem before so also dont know a solution.
Bigger outdoor wheels
Attach a dustpan brush to the front of each skate so it sweeps the rocks for you 🤣
Bigger wheels and bullet profile wheels. Everithing else gets stuck easily. Also putting your stance and weight more far behind helps getting over those obstacles since it will lift your first wheel a bit.
Yes, this had happened a lot to me rollerblading on the streets on New York City, gravel getting stuck between the wheels. It's a real problem. I was looking for answers for the same question.
What setup works best on rough pavement? Where I live there is very little smooth pavement and there is too much vibration for me to really enjoy skating on it. I have to drive somewhere to find good pavement.
the more points of contact, the less trouble you have with the vibration because it will be divided between more wheels.
Wizard NR100 have the best combo between 4 wheels + manouvarablility + big wheels
@@Thisissoul Great, thank you!
@@movieman6588 3 wheels are actually pretty comfortable, you will trip less often, the difference betwen 80 mm en 125 mm is huge, moreover skating on 125 costs less effort in endurance because you are simply faster, but you are less stable, it all depends on what you do with your skates, I am currently on 3X100 en feeling pretty happy, I also use my 4x90 regurarly still
@@universalflamethrower6342 Thanks. I was just really confused because my current setup I can't use on pavement unless it is brand new pavement. Otherwise there is too much vibration. I am on a 4x76mm
@@movieman6588 id say 4x90mm on a skate with a thick liner would be your best bet.
Bigger wheels help against the routh pavement and a thick and good liner also takes away lot of vibration. I have a powerslide next skate and bought a myfit spc liner (messed up the original liner when heatmolting) and the liner eats all the vibration. Its amasing how smooth my feet feel.
So tall guy with big feet. I used to run a 5 wheel speed skates when I was younger now I'm looking into getting 4 90mm. Any thoughts??
go for it
Been wondering what the difference was! Thank you!!!
Happy to help!
I want to be higher up because I want the extra core work from instability.
Where do you get a pair that you can change between three and four wheels?
You doesnt. At least not in a standard skates.
But endless sells frames standalone products that can take 3 and 4 wheels. But they are as expensive solo as many skates completely.
if I live in a town with shitty roads and bad sidewalks, do I get 3 wheels?
🔥🔥
I had a non electric scooter and found it really bumpy on uk pavements because they’re individual squares. Would 3 wheels be more reliable because they’re bigger? Would the smaller wheels trip me up?
I'd go 4 wheels, did a lot of freeriding on different pavements and I believe 4 points of contact on slightly smaller wheel feel safer than 3 points + bigger wheel. That vastly depends on how good/bad is said pavement. If it's just a bit uneven 3x100+mm would feel nicer but anything above "small imperfections" and 4x(+-)80mm just offer more confidence, no matter smaller wheels individually tend to get caught more than bigger ones but length of the frame + 2 extra wheels add great value to offroad capabilities. You could go for the best (just an opinion) of those 2 worlds: 4x100mm frames.
@@batonnikus its not only about the amount of wheels. You can have shorter and longer frames even with the same wheels size and amount...
@@blackyraypatrick9041 that is also true and should be taken into account. Also rocker or flat makes a difference.
@@batonnikus that was one thing what disturbed me a lot in this video. Most 110mm wheels triskate frame have 253-255mm length. The fitness orientated ones even 270mm
If the 4 wheels setup was 90mm it was. Most likely a 270mm long frame while the standard powerslide frame for 3x110 has extremely short 243mm length.
The guy said the triskate felt unstable in gras compared to the 4 wheel setup if it is not 100% flat.
This was most likely because of the frame length difference and nothing else.
Sometimes they mean something true but say it wrong. Like how they said 4 wheels are lower to the ground.... No they arent.... But smaller wheels are and most 4 wheel frame have smaller wheels...
Good work for the wheelsport
Thanks!
From wich country are you guys? Also a great vid, even that i am a experienced skater and i have tryed 3 and 4 wheels is this video very interesting.
Netherlands
Really cool video bro
Could you do the same with skate park in-line skating? 2 wheels and antirockers or 4 wheels
Thanks a lot 💪💯
Might be a good one for the next vlog! Will definitely write this down.
@@Thisissoul Thanks 👌🏻💯
Discussing this too in the video of today about FRAMES!
I bought a pair of 3wd, can I change the frames to 4 wheels??
probably yes. learn more about it here

What’s the best choice for long distances using mainly cycling paths?
Big wheels! 4 of 'm
Nice video
What brand skate is that?

Nice👍
thank you very much im begginer
2:45 song?
Uhh yaa I'll stick to 4 wheels. Thanks a lot for this video
Hobbels 😂 ik ga stuk
Love the vid tho!
is 4x90 really faster than 3x110? i think the 4x90 is faster.
I = N*m*r²
I: moment of inertia
N: wheel count
m: mass of the wheels
r: radius of the wheels
Matter G13:
90mm 112g
100mm 133g
110mm 152g
125mm 186g
From 4x90 to 3x110 it would be 52% more moment of inertia.
I recently testet a 3x110 setup on my freeskate comming from a 4x80 setup and i was kind of disappointed that it wasnt as fast as i thought it would be. The 110mm wheels were Rollerblade Supreme 85A.
Imo the wheels on a 3x110 setup have to be very hard to compensate for the missing forth wheel and to show their true potential of more inertia as shown above.
I have 4x90 and 3x100 and 3 x125, 3x 125 is easily faste than 4x90, and currently my 3x100 are also faster but that is because they are a month old and I often rain skate in my 4x90s which has been not soo good for them
@@universalflamethrower6342 what do you prefer? I had 4x90 before and now got 3x100. 3x100 feels kinda big
CMAC WOULD LOVE THIS VIDEO ON 55 CRIP
I chose 3 wheels skates cause I think they look cooler~
O berimba e o cavaco tão tocando solto
Wish there were more benefits listed about 3 wheels
The thing is that in general 4 wheels are better.
knew from the start you guys are dutch haha
ha, musica brasileira
4 wheels feels like you drive a car with low groud clearance. More stable to maneuvere
Bologna its about how well you skate wheels are wheels!!!
The real difference between a 4 wheel inline skate and 3 wheel inline skate is 1 wheel xd
What is xd? Sorry. Newbie I am

Wheelses lol))
Bruh just wasted ma money in a 3 wheel bruh
Still would use it for city exploring
I have both and still love my triskate a bit more. Wouldn't call it a waste of money as long you arent into aggressive skating on a skate park or solely stair riding :D...
But switch is faster
You forgot, better acceleration with 4 wheels.
4 is slower
Not really.
Better acceleration with smaller wheels. More wheels means more weight, and due to it less acceleration and endurance.
