low-profile big front wheel skates, the verdict

[John Doe]

Talking about ordinary 80mm wheel (x5) speed skates with the front
wheel replaced with a 140mm wheel. The small 80mm trailing wheels
tend to catch on things only when going less than about 5 mph, and
it's only a problem when I'm tired. As expected, the big front wheel
helps smooth the ride. Overall, I like them, probably won't use
anything else for street skating.

Bought four more of the 140 mm wheels from Razor. I'm not impressed
with the quality/workmanship, but oh well, can't be picky.

This solution seems like it comes from a lazy man. John(or Mark), this
wheel configuration is far inferior to just looking where you are
skating, and skating with your weight over your heels. C'mon, you've
been skating long enough that you don't need a crutch like that. Is
that this year's bubblewrap?

Are you drunk again, wbskates? What other reason for repeatedly
making idiotic (and trollish) statements like that? Everybody knows
that large diameter wheels are better for rough terrain. A larger
front wheel will surmount larger obstacles no matter how much
weight is over your heels. It's not a weight distribution issue,
it's an angle of attack issue.

The small trailing wheels do present some risk of catching on things
that the large front wheel rolls over. But skating faster decreases
the risk. When skating fast, the front wheel still provides the
benefits of a large wheel for more easily rolling over large
obstacles and lifting the frame so that the trailing wheels can more
easily roll over the same obstacles. So far, experience has proved
that it does work. Coming down steeply on something becomes more
difficult as speed increases, and that's the only way the small
wheels can bind. As long as my skates don't bind when I'm going fast
over rough terrain, that's what matters, and so far they haven't.

And by the way, in fact bubblewrap does make a great ankle wrap. I
use it every skate. It's ultra light weight, very comfortable, and
very cool with the bubbles facing inwards. Your ignorance doesn't
change reality, wbskates, except maybe for you and anyone else who
is so bullheaded/ignorant to bash a plausible thing he hasn't even
tried.

But of course you're not a helpless little baby, Hsu, you can find
some other way to cope besides trolling me. Hsu, your problem is
that trolling people in real life with a boombox is easier than
trying to cope with ideas here on USENET where you cannot intimidate
others. Your mental contribution to skating is a boombox as if
that's worth squat.

I agree. I don't think Doe even skates. He's pretty good at calling me
out when I'm drunk, though. The difference is, I skate even when I'm
drunk. I still stand by my statement pertaining to skill and
technique, as anyone from an intermediate skill level on up, would
most likely agree. As far as making a "trollish" statement, what would
you expect from a 'deadwood"?

making transitions to backwards skating and other fun moves
problematic....they cannot be as structurally sound as a one piece

I would just wear a pair of 4x100's and get ALL the smoothness(no

A lower stance is in fact more balanced, motorblade. But you
couldn't skate on them even if you are a wanted to.

Post by Motorblade

Besides providing a lower or more stable center of balance, big
front wheel rollerblades do in fact smooth things out, motorblade.
Smoothing things out can make a huge difference when skating on
rough street terrain especially when you occasionally run into
obstacles without forewarning.

Post by Motorblade

I still do crossovers occasionally. In my skating, crossovers look
good but are not common and never necessary. I skate on the street,
not around an oval track.

Post by Motorblade

moves problematic....they cannot be as structurally sound as a one

Well duh. But the question is whether or not they are structurally
sound enough. Since I skate on them regularly, I will be the judge
of that.

Post by Motorblade

You don't have a choice, motorblade. A 100 mm wheel set up is okay,
but it does have drawbacks. The stance is significantly higher and
therefore less stable. That's a balance issue your inexperienced
opinion perpetually ignore, motorblade. A 100 mm front wheel is much
smaller than my 140 mm front wheel, so it will bind on large
obstacles. Being stopped by large obstacles while having a higher
less stable center of balance is a recipe for trouble when skating
on rough street terrain.

The other thing i think, is that we all simply state our
opinions....he has the right to make his skates with big front wheels
and believe in them...we have the right to disagree....its not about
ego, or one person being "correct" its about our individual
preferences.....I personally would not want to solve my skate obstacle
problems with a unbalanced frame setup....there are too many things i
like to do that make a big add-on front extension impractical....like
the sort of skate jamming we did while in Philly whizzing through the
bar district to Prince music. 4x 90mm wheels is as far as i like to go
these days to quiet down rough terrain...and a scooter wheel on a toe
extension is for me personally , out of the question and( again only
my opinion) goofy.

Now the funny thing to me is also, that while Doe continues to call us
names and then accuse us of trolling, he most certainly loves the
attention and , chomps at the bit , when he gets these, by now,
expected , replies. Basically, trolling us while calling us trolls/
deadwood whatever. He is a never ending glutton for the abuse he rails
against. So human and so predictable, just like our responses.

Yep, the only insults to my big front wheel rollerblades have come
from the living dead in this group. In other groups and in the real
world, I have heard lots of good things about them. The only
negative feedback comes from the same old has-been skaters in here
who never post about in-line skating anymore. The only thing the
living dead here have done in years is come up for a bite whenever I
make something for skating.

Must admit that to my eyes this group is substantially dead. If I
want a conversation about some aspect of skating technique I'll ask on
my club's forum, and if I want social discussion of skating I'll,
y'know, meet some local skaters socially.

Though it was raining this evening, so I wussed out of the route check

true dat....the regulars(we used to have lots of brits/europeans/east
coasters etc.. and even the webmaster from londonskaters) were bored
with threads that degraded into name calling and other useless
threads(arguments about helmets and pads), and newbies saw their
threads devolve into the same....established teachers and long time
skaters found themselves being derided for their well informed
opinions by a couple posters who just couldn't take criticism
themselves.

The regulars like motorblade never post about skating anymore,
apparently they couldn't care less about in-line skating. Their sole
purpose here these days is to bash my in-line skating stuff, like
the first big front wheel rollerblades.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/***@N04/2565924423/

Take a look in the archive. If motorblade ever has posted original
about skating, then look for the alleged interference. In fact, I
have been courteous towards others here when regulars post about
skating (long long ago) and when the rare newcomer posts about
skating. That's proved by an author history.

"in-line skating" versus "rollerblades" in a USENET signature. Or
you're just playing the troll. Whatever.

So you think the name of this group determines whether one should use
"in-line skating" versus "rollerblades" in a USENET signature.

No. Honestly, to measure the amount I care about your signature would
require a Wheatstone bridge in a climate-controlled cabinet. And even
then, thermal noise would upset the results.

I was replying to your assertion that 'Everyone on Earth calls them
"rollerblades"' which, unless the people who set this group up
originally were not of this world, is demonstrably untrue.

No.

So you aren't a moron, you're just a troll.

The first big front wheel rollerblades.

But of course yours isn't information.

Post by Motorblade
those are Roces not Rollerblades

Only if you live on Mars.

Post by Motorblade
or the generic term would be inline skates...

Everyone on Earth calls them "rollerblades".

Post by Motorblade
you don't wanna get sued when you market them. ;)

Anything is possible, motorblade, but I'm not going to annoy others
on USENET by using the obscure term "in-line skates" in my
signature.
