Revision as of 03:55, 28 October 2020
About me:
- Got my first skates when I was 7 or 8 years old. They were adjustable quads. I never gravitated much to them.
- 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.

Frames used
Below only Seba equipment is stated at the moment
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.
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
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.
