About me:
== Equipment used ==
* Got my first skates when I was 7 or 8 years old. They were adjustable quads. I never gravitated much to them.
My experience with the following equipment is:
* At 12, I turned to street skating skateboarding for the next 4 years
* In 2003, I bought a pair of mongoose soft boot inline skates for $99 Cad on Walmart. (Looking back, they were horrible. There's video of this)
* 2011, I bought a pair of K2 with 84 mm wheels and picked up [[inline skating]] more seriously at a fitness and recreational level and skating on a regular basis ever since.
* 05/18/2017 bought the [[Seba Hight Light carbon]] with a flat frame, plastic cuff and 80 mm wheels
* 21:27 June 08 2020 bought the [[Seba Igor S carbon]] with a flat frame, carbon cuff and tri-skate 3 x 100 mm wheels.
* ''SUV off road skates is the next purchase''.

=== Boots ===
In the past, I used weird boots. I tried one pair of hard-shell plastic boots and did not like it. Currently, [[Seba]] carbon boots only.


== Equipment used ==
Two pairs of [[Adapt]] skaters conclude that [[Adapt]] is hype. Most uncomfortable boots ever used and poor craftsman work when compared to [[Seba]].
In the past I used soft boots. Tried one pair of hard shell plastic boots and did not liked it. Currently Seba carbon boots only.
I did not pay the total price for them, nor should anyone, as they are not worth more than $500 CAD due to the boot being carbon.

=== SEBA Deluxe ===
=== SEBA Deluxe ===
Seba Deluxe (v1 and v2) Black Frames Flat 165/180/195 mount is considered as one of the best frames on the market. It is stiffer, lighter and guarantees superior control, comfort, and outstanding power transfer. It is great for most demanding skating styles.
[[Seba]] Deluxe (v1 and v2) Black Frames Flat 165/180/195 mount is considered one of the best frames on the market. It is stiffer and lighter and guarantees superior control, comfort, and outstanding power transfer. It is excellent for most demanding skating styles.


The secret of the Deluxe frame is the tubular cross-braces. Cross braces are typically the weakest point in a frame, and the demands of slalom and freestyle skating can often lead them to crack. In the Deluxe frame, after extrusion, the cross braces each have a hole drilled town the length to turn them into tubes. These tubes are much stronger than the standard cross brace, and provide the frame with excellent stiffness and durability. The short lengths available are ideal for slalom, freestyle and dance skating disciplines.

=== FR 300 ===
=== FR 300 ===
The 300 Frame from FR comes in the well known design from SEBA. With its length of 232mm it offers a goof agility. It is milled out of a 7005 aluminum block and provides with its cut-outs a stylish look. Thanks to the hardness, it is extremely torsion-resistant and ensures optimum power transmission.

=== Endless ===
I bought the [[endless]] frame 4x 100mm / 3 x 110mm during 2021.
# It is a frame designed for beginners and intermediate skaters and not advanced skaters
# Although the lightest of its kind for wizard skating, it is still one of the heaviest of all frames out there, and on speed skating and marathons, its weight is felt as performance decreases.
# Not aerodynamic design harms its performance for speed and long distance, which is heavily felt during windy days.
# Axle holes are both from the right side due to identical frames. You must remove the right boot to change the wheels on the go.
=== Powerslide ===
During 2021 i bought the powerslide v-type II frame.
This frame allows the same setup as an endless frame without the extra downsides, as mentioned about the endless.
However, it is not rockered.
Setups: 4x100mm or 3x110mm
