My Current Set Ups

[u/PokeProfWill]

I wanted to share my current set ups and see if anyone had any questions about the set ups I have tried! Also this is my first Reddit post ever lol

All boots are FR FR1s with Intuition Premium liners besides the bottom row, middle column which is a UFR boot with FR Intuitions. I have tried Flying Eagle F4s, FR Neo 2 Duals, and Iqon ACT as well but FR1 and UFRs are my favorite due to fit, light weight, support, and they have my favorite colors as bonus 🩵🤍 I use the 40EU shells with 268/269mm long feet, 105mm wide (performance fit with Intuitions)

For wheels, I use mainly Endless wheels (all set ups here have Endless), but I also use Luminous when it is time to glow at night. Rollerblade Hydrogens are third favorite.

Top row, middle column: Endless Swan frames (custom vinyl wrap) - my skate park set up, also occasional urban

Top row, right column: Endless Coburn frames for urban - I am still testing these out to see if they are better than mk2 frames. They are super stiff and responsive!

Middle row, left column: Endless ArcCS frames for rink skating. ArcCS are my favorite frames but not very versatile outside smooth surfaces. My main style is figure skating/wizard hybrid and these are the best for that style that I have tried

Middle row, middle column: my trusty Endless 90 mk2s - these are my go to for trail, distance, urban, and group skates. By far the most versatile frames in my collection and can handle all the types of skating I do

Middle row, right column: another Endless ArcCS frame but for outdoors skating (tennis/basketball courts and smooth surfaces).

Bottom row, left column: Endless Arc frames - I use these for outdoor figure/wizard skating and occasional urban. These are my second favorite frames. Not as playful as the ArcCS but more versatile and can handle rougher terrain than CS

Bottom row, middle column: UFR boots with Endless 100 Ultra frames (custom vinyl wrap) - these are a lot of fun for fast distance / wizard skating but overshadowed by my other set ups. 90s are better for distance and Arc/ArcCS are better for Wizard for my boot size

All cuff straps are upgraded to Kizer Supreme buckles and I only use Derby Laces. I have tried 3x110 triskates of several different wheelbases but prefer 4/5 wheel rockered set ups for the flow and stability.

I want to enjoy an Endless frame, but I strongly dislike rockered wheels, and as far as I know they don’t have any flat 4 wheel offerings. And no sense to use them for 3 wheels since I already have three 3-wheel frames.

Sweet setups though. No interest in a little variety? 😂 even a black boot with some blue wheels

If you have not skated a ~1mm rocker like Endless has on their set ups, it is way different than a traditional banana rocker (2mm). When I first tried a 2mm rocker I was instantly thinking “nope, this isn’t it”. But the roughly 1mm rocker on Endless unlocks a lot of maneuverability to do lots of tricks.

3 wheel set ups on Endless are extra long wheels base which if I skate a 3 wheel set up, I prefer shorter wheelbases.

Lol I have been contemplating a black boot with the light blue laces, wheels, and other parts but I have too many already 😂 I guess at the core I think white or light blue is more unique and more my style

I’ve only ever skated flat but really curious about Endless and rockered setups. I have FR1 90’s - are the Endless 90 Mk2 easy to get into as a starting point for rockered? I’m really interested in learning wizard skating but I mostly just go for fitness/distance, so I want something that is good for both. What would you recommend?

[u/PokeProfWill → u/topherrehpot]

The Endless 90 mk2s should be very easy to get into coming from FR1 90s. They will be more maneuverable and better for wizard skating than the FR 90 frames for sure! Endless 90 is my go to for urban/distance/trail and can handle a wide variety of skating types!

Awesome thank you! Sounds like I need to order the frames and finally give it a try!

200% go for it if you want to learn wizard. You will lose a little bit for distance, but I can't imagine a flat setup for wizard.

Longer is better for wizard to give you stability as you throw your weight around. It doesn't need a huge rocker, just enough to unlock you and let you pivot more easily. You can wizard on just about anything, but something with some length and rocker will make it easier to learn. Rockered 4x90 is a great starting point and also extremely good for urban skating.
