Folks, it you're new to skating, it might help for you to know that slalom freestyle skates (and roller hockey skates) often use a rockered (banana-like / curved / hi-lo) setup, I think. Tiago talks about this in another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGOVIrYLNh4 You can use different-sized wheels to rocker a flat frame.
I think Tiago probably does have a point about using freeride skates instead of fitness for slalom and tricks; but can you do tricks on recreational* skates? I think so. I first started skate jamming and crossover slaloms on recreational longer-framed skates with a heel brake. The trick is to use a wider scissor stance.
I don't yet have freestyle or freeride skates, just recreational and aggressive.
Now that I have been skating, I would prefer a freeskate of some type for freestyle, due to the shorter frames. I can definitely notice the difference now that I have an aggressive pair, which also relies on shorter frames. But, my recreational skates still serve me well when I need some speed. The rounder recreational wheels are also MUCH easier to maneuver for carving. So, Tiago may be onto something with the recommendation of starting on freerides for progression to freestyle.
Because the aggressive skate UFS mount only uses two mounting points – and for safety and maybe precision – I will probably add a freestyle or freeride skate when I get the money. For now, I'm practicing static versions of grinds. ; )
*Recreational skates are like fitness skates – they both tend to have longer frames, and (removable) heel brakes, I think – but recreationals have slower bearings and smaller wheels, I think – in my case, 80mm 82A wheels and slower, ABEC 5-equivalent bearings.
Personally I feel like this comparison isn’t fair, You are using the cheapest option of fitness skates and very high end freestyle skates. I feel like the comparison would be more fair if you’ve used fitness skates like the powerslide swell skates which are very nice fitness skates. Overall though I love this video and I love your channel 🙂
"That feeling of freedom, when you forget all your problems?…" To me that was more like "OH MY GOD, WHAT THE FUCK DID I GET MYSELF INTO, I'M GONNA DIE AND NO ONE WILL EVEN CRY BECAUSE WHY THE FUCK WOULD HE THINK HE COULD SKATE!?!?!?"
Yay, I'm about to buy my first Seba frx skates instead of new pair of fitness skates because of this video (even they are not available in stores in my country : ) I saw you wear size 38, what foot size does that fit? My foot is 235mm and I'm not sure if I should go with 37 or 38 when I look at their sizing chart tables. Merciiii x
