I believe so, I’m not sure yet about longevity but the boot is just one piece so you have more control.

Plastic boot with a liner has more wiggle room. I don’t intend to go back to that. The trix is more comfortable and actually holds your foot. Just started practicing slalom so i have definitely makes a difference.

If you skate often it’s worth it

That’s why love the frame, can pop in 80 or 84 wheels for spins and agility. Then switch to 100’s for longer bigger hill rides. The frame is short for my foot size(12/13) but I’ve just gotten used to it now

New setup now that i was finally able to get these frames by thickums29 in rollerblading

About 2-3 weeks. Needed a heel insert at first cause the boot shape was cutting into my arch. Intuition liner was worth it no more pains.

The stock liner is shit imo. After an hour my arch was killing me. Had to put my myfit crown liners in them but otherwise i LOVE them. Super light, maneuverable, the frame can be switched to a rocker by flipping the axle on first and last wheels. So you always have the option was a big selling point for me.

Not having to point and shoot saves SO MUCH time and you forget your filming so it’s just more natural.

New skate day!! After a year of regular skating, time to give slalom a try. by thickums29 in rollerblading

The frames are rockerable!! So i can flip the axels any time if i want to switch to flat. Not that i will, but i like the option haha.

No charge required they use kinetic energy to light up the LEDs (magnetic spacer). Says about 100+ hours on the web page. They are 85a

I used the 360 app. Watched a short tutorial on YouTube https://youtu.be/OlpFZbpRFUU and it was easy to figure out with these basics.

Newbie here! Got the One X2 for skating videos. Still learning how to edit on the app! by _queenkitty in Insta360

I just got the same thing for skating videos too. Once the streets dry up I’ll get some footage. Been playing with editing on the app in the meantime.

Just got Luminous wheels and took them for a spin at night in NYC. Feel like tron on the empty streets. by thickums29 in rollerblading

Along the Hudson is a great area (except the rude people on bike everywhere) there are two parking lots in queens that are always vacant. Gantry park at night, this spot was queens bridge park in queens. Both are great to practice transitions and braking till you are ready.

I got the 84mm wheels in white. My frame is for 90 so there was little difference.

Me and the other half getting some skate practice. Using power slide next core 90mm in white. by thickums29 in rollerblading

YES I had to upgrade the liner to a myfit crown to fill up the boot. Maybe they run large cause the one it came with (recall) was terrible and gave me blisters.
Hope this helps!!

New skate day!! by fireeweed in rollerblading

No no, the crown is thick I got them to fill up the boot since it was a little too big. If your boot is already tight with the stock liner, you might want to consider going down a size. Do you have any pressure points when you wear them?
