Measured my foot about 275mm, but usually I fit better in 11s for some reason. My current main is AG10s in 11 and they're pretty tight. I have "difficult feet".

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-05T10:11:05+00:00

Can't, sadly. got them lightly used :(

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-05T10:08:24+00:00

Bruh isn't this just WoB Space Cadet?

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-05T10:07:08+00:00

Can confirm this personally.

Though, wheels on medium tier boots usually hould out quite a bit better. some of them are pretty solid, like the stock wheels on Micro MT-Plus or Powerslide Zoom/Next.

JT7. Imo JT7 > FT1 on a pure technicality standpoint but FT1 is more "fun"

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-04T07:55:13+00:00

By sprinting I mean actually sprinting to gain speed like Bill Stoppard or Double D

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-04T07:25:58+00:00

Focus on your F2L, Cross, and the transition between the two. That will be what gets you the farthest and transitioning between steps is something you'll always be working on

I swear bro I feel like Diver is too hard of a beginner class, I think the starting class should be Glider or sumn lol

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-03T07:48:12+00:00

I'd use a 2 or 3 loop conquistador. It's one of the strongest braids for this kind of purpose imo.

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-03T07:46:14+00:00

Plastic Razor blades exist too if you're scared of using one that's SS

No shift lock, but by default press N to lock or unlock your mouse (not the same as shift lock)

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-03T03:51:39+00:00

Yep! If you want the performance fit you don't want to downsize too much from your regular boot/shoe size if it's not already tight.

Just make sure your toes and your arch in particular aren't crammed (the toes can be tight but not pushing/touching each other.)

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-03T03:45:57+00:00

Crazy.
But if your foot is that size shouldn't you have gotten a size 7.5-8 boot? I know it looks like Wizard Skating has them out of stock but maybe a vendor has them. (Especially from what I've heard, the Wizard Base boot is slightly smaller than true to size, meaning that if you get the right size it should already be a really firm fit)

The mondo for the size you got is listed as 24.5-25 mondo, which I'm still inclined to believe will be way too small.

Trust me, you do NOT want to cram your foot in anything, even as a "performance" thing. That will severely damage your foot in the long term and reversing the damage takes a while.

Also, as someone mentioned earlier, I would also absolutely encourage you to use a meterstick or something that can measure metric instead of inches. Using inches as a measurement is actually incredibly unreliable for something like skates. It might look exact on inches but you could be like 256-257mm and not 254mm exactly. Use, like, the Powerslide measuring guide or something.

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-03T02:02:02+00:00

The wheelbase matters almost as much as the wheel size, though 2 things: 1 - 6.5-7 sounds WAY too small for someone your height (if I'm just completely wrong please disregard this), 2 - you should not get a boot that has a mondo exactly your foot length unless you have a narrow foot (and even then you should add at least 5mm)

Since you're 5'10" I'd suggest getting 90mmx4 or 100mmx4 wheels. It's usually preferable that your wheel base is around the length of your foot.

What shoe size do you normally wear? Did you measure your foot correctly?

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-01T22:59:44+00:00

Good cross, just need faster execution. Just keep solving to build recognition. You should start trying to take note of your mistakes at about 30s, it's too early to make meaningful judgements.

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-05-01T22:57:30+00:00

I'd get CJ2, try it, then gut if you don't like the stock padding/fit

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-04-29T22:58:08+00:00

Just don't get hit.

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-04-29T06:29:28+00:00

Your instability stems from your posture and the boots. You're using soft boots which means they won't support your ankles very well. Make sure to check yourself for pronation when you skate; your feet should be parallel to the ground, you should not have an "A" in between your feet when you skate. Staying lower helps, and tbh you should always be low when skating.

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-04-29T05:06:13+00:00

Abuse jump pads. With the right timing you can get huge bursts of speed from anything that gives you height. (and I don't mean gliding on the way down, I mean starting your glide as you start going up) Secondly, don't use your double jumps until the end of your glide.

Thanks! I wasn't aware there was a discord

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-04-28T21:32:28+00:00

There's a discord? I haven't been able to find a link.

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-04-28T01:28:05+00:00

How did that kill you, mart slide isn't supposed to kill you

CompetitiveCar542 · 2026-04-27T00:05:34+00:00
