Two sessions in and I can say I am in love with them. Probably the most perfect fit I ever had for my foot. Locking in tricks very good. Riding them with creates, royal is a breeze. I think I found my favorite skates.
The guys from Loco Skates didn't have any problem with top sides or royals or anything. It was even number 3 in their recently released Top 10 aggressive skates list. Very impressive for a first offering in the market!
Just got a set of the same boots myself. My first intuition liners as well. Only had a chance to ride them with my K2 R100s so far and they felt OK. I needed to add an insole to the liners to get them to fit nicely but more than happy so far. Skatepark on the weekend so going to try them with some Kizer Slimline frames and see how they handle that.
Great Video as always! Love my UFR for aggressive as well as without a soup late with freeride frames! One thing I think is great about them and clearly shows the thought put into all FR Skates: All the bolt heads on the inside for the shell are covered to protect the liner!!! :) I don't think any other skate company does that! Oh and the THEM Intuition is a bit thicker then the FR Intuition!
Awesome you got an FR skate. I would have loved to hear the differences between the FR with the stock liner and the FR with the Intuitions, but I'm guessing you haven't tried the regular FR liner yet?
The UFR is an Anthony Pottier pro skate btw, it’s the UFR AP. His signature is on the back of the cuff. When the companies split Anthony was on FR and CJ Wellsmore on Seba. I don’t think it’s particularly strange they’d need to make an aggressive skate with such a prominent pro skater on the team. I have a pair of the UFR AP and they are fantastic, I’ve skated the seba Fr1 before and it felt like it was begging to have a soul plate added to it. Just wanted to point out that it’s a pro skate as I don’t think you or Ben mentioned it on the most recent podcast either
@@JaumeAguileraBadia The skate featured in this video is the Anthony Pottier pro skate. He kinda gets 3 pro models, they are all the same shell though! The boot only UFR AP intuition (the version shown in this video), the boot only UFR AP with thicker liner and finally the UFR AP with thicker liner, flat frame and FR wheels. Hope that helps! ✌️
That is true as they don't have the detachable wraps, but the benefit (for some people) is they're supposed to fit a little more snug compared to the V2 and Premium liners, especially in the toe box, so they maybe a better fit of those people with less volume in their feet.
I'm setting my pair up right now as a flat setup! Kizer Fluid 5's with Ground Control 57mm 92a's - I also just got the USD Eugen Enin Shadows, set them up as my anti skates with Kizer Fluid 4's, 50-50 UHMW's in the middle and just stock USD 60mm 90a's on the outside. Both amazing setups
Hey Lawrence, just as info for you, you saw many times if you order the standard liner you get a bigger shell. Thats wrong. you have the 43.5 - 44 intuition version thats the same shell as 43-44 standard liner, only if you order the 43 size intuition you will get the 41-42 shell. your shell are the same as the 43-44 standard liner shell. hope you understand what I mean :)
Yep spot on. Someone also asked why their UFR Intuition US 10 was smaller than their FRX US 10 - same thing, the UFR is the #8 shell and the FRX is the #10 shell
FR makes big wheel frames for that skate. No need to go aftermarket when you can buy something made specifically for that boot. Great company with good functional products. I haven't heard anything bad from these other than the stock liners being puffy and huge. That's how FR liners have always been so the intuition is the way to go for that thinner, size down fit.
I wish I could join these Gear Talk episodes, but at the time they are on, it's 2am in Portugal and I have to work next day. The good thing is that I have something awesome to watch during breakfast 😄 BTW, I have the lastest Seba CJ Carbon and I was having a hard time landing royales, so I've learned that you can replace the cuff with the new Aeon soft cuffs with no mods needed, so I did just that and now I land my royales with no problem. the same goes for the FR cuffs, since they are the same cuffs as the Seba. Hope this helps! My setup: Seba CJ Carbon (latest model) removed 45º strap, Aeon soft cuffs moded to fit Kekoa Velcro strap, Adapt soul frame, Trigger Freerocker v2 frames moded to fit 68mm wheels. LOVE IT!
Getting back into blading(pun intended), I've noticed that the sizing schema most companies use is just awful and not very user intuitive even when using mondo. Especially when you learn how the boot size differs vastly from shoe size, which has been the case for some time. But with all the new products(liners etc) and options, there should really be a universal system for people to use across manufacturers, so as consumers we don't have to deal with the hassle of fighting with online retailers for returns / exchanges for sizing issues. Sadly blade / skate shop dont exist. At least within 3k miles of me lol
Hey BTB I’m a fan of your channel. I was wondering - any idea where I can find an Ennui Elite helmet in black? I have been searching for almost 3 months. Searched high and low.
I have tried this UFR with intuition liners. Is it really heel raised? Because I felt my Roces M12 are more raised. I kept pulled leaning back while using the UFR.
Hey, where is your store? I live in Humboldt Ca, where time stopped in 70’s and no one in sporting stores knows about inline skating, one store clerk told me that they do not make them since 90’s…. Soooo a lot of pot smokers but no skate culture at all.
Couldn't resist to cop one of those black and gold Prime frames 🥰. They will go on Blanks, but I am not afraid of modifying any eventual mounting failure. I hope I can use them soon!! Lots of snow here... BY THE WAY! My Blanks came to Spain with black wheels and ready to roll. Dunno why it was different in US.
I have a very biiiig question about these soul plates I think they are pretty wide but I dont know if these would fit my genesis. There some "triangular things" in the middle of the soul plate and I dont know if these are desinged to fit only on the FRs I like my genesis, because they fit so well (my foot size is a huge problem) and I dont know which soul plates would fit a genesis so i can lock better on grinds Maybe Xsjado 2.0? But they arent available in size 48... All of my buddies are riding the new eugen enin and iam jelaous af, that they can lock so easy on negatives and stuff
I watched this again tonight, great live stream! I actually ordered the last pair of these UFR Intuition boots in my size today, and got them specifically for the Intuition liners to go in my FR1 skates. Everywhere has been out of the FR1 Deluxe Intuition skates for a while in my size, but I figured I could use these liners, and have an extra setup to go urban skating, with the ability to do sole grinds along the way. I also noticed that this version of the FR Intuition liner has black on the outside, where as the FR1 Deluxe Intuition has light grey on the outside, so I'm pretty happy as it will not only appear cleaner over the long term, but will also match my black FR1 skates better. I went for these instead of the Intuition Premium and V2, because I've heard a number of people say that the Premium and V2 tend to be a bit more roomy, especially in the toe box. I have pretty low volume feet, though slightly wide, when is why I went for the UFR versions. These don't have the detachable wraps on the back, as they're sewn in, but I'm hoping that the fact they are made of the FR shell means that the fit will be good... They also have a lot more size options compared to the V2, but the Premiums also have a lot of size options. I'd rather a liner that fits, as opposed to a liner will lots of premium options that doesn't fit. I believe that shell is essentially the same as the FRX shell, which is their entry level skate, the only difference being they built up the mounting area under the heel to make it UFS compatible. My guess is it was probably cheaper to retool an existing mold than to create a new one (at least that's how it works in the toy industry), so I think this skate is the way it is probably due to cost saving measures... which makes sense if you're testing the waters of the aggressive world to gauge the level of interest. I hear that FR are going to be bringing out an updated version of this, and also more UFS frame options, so that will be interesting to see. The FRX has basically the same boot and plastic as the FR1,2 and 3, but the other skates has more options like cuff bolts that can position the cuff in multiple directions, upgraded straps and hardware, metal mounting plates on the FR1 and 2 etc. Still I've heard the FRX is a pretty good quality skate, so this still seems like a good deal, especially the deal you got.
I made room for my toes in the Mesmer liners by sticking a broom handle up into the toe area and stretching out a little area for my big toe to live in. Made a huge difference for me. The shell is still too big vs the liner, but at least I could fit the liner then.
Thanks for your video law, amazing work, keep it up Are the FR "wide" or "narrow" fit? I think i,ve heard Sebas are mostly "not narrow" fit, is it the same? Can't wait for your next video skating these FR, I think they will be my next boot
@@BacktoBlading nice. As an fyi, the skates have the nubs on the bottom because they are modified version of the urban skates where these nubs are the attachment points.
Came here to ask the same! I love your skate reviews, and really appreciate the work that you are putting in! As a 44 yr old man who hasn’t really been rolling for 25 years, I am pumped to get back into it, and B2B has been super inspiring!
I ordered myself a pairs of TF Gawds after watching this from Oak City. Based on what was said here I asked Long if he could swap out the Prime liner for a Fatboy which he kindly did without question. Unfortunately for whatever reason the Fatboy didn't do it for me. I heat molded them, tried different insoles, you name it. I almost gave up on that skate. I ended up reaching out to Long & he suggested I try the liner that it was supposed to come with, after all that's what sets that skate apart from it's predecessor. He just happened to still have the original liner & I paid an additional $130 for that Prime liner. Once I popped that Prime liner in... Well I'll be damned. It was perfect. Just because it doesn't have this copious amount of dense foam doesn't mean it's a bad liner. They wouldn't have put it in a $630 Iqon boot if it wasn't any good. Point being, your opinion is just that...an opinion but the way you voice and word your opinion, it comes across as fact more than opinion. People alue your opinion more than the average Joe because of your history within the industry & when it comes to frames then sure, you just might know more than most but when it comes to how a skate feels and fits, that's all subjective no matter who you are.
I'd like to buy the intuition version. My normal size is EU39. Foot length is 24.5. According to the chart I should have 39-40. Do I need to downside to 37-38? Or just pick the right size? Greetings from China.
If it helps the razors cuff fit right on perfectly If you need a little more flex. The Aeon cuffs too but you need extra 3rd part bolts for those.

LOCOSKATE does a nice review on these they seem to love the stock liner as well.
@@rampageriseden Cool, good to hear, thanks!

Is there any difference between these and the Anthony Pottier?

Ps.
The intuition liner in this skate is cheaper build then the normal standalone liner.
So it’s not a 200+€ liner u get with these

The crazy dip in the boot is supposed to create a wheel recess for when your using large freeride frames without the soulplate.

Hey BTB
I’m a fan of your channel. I was wondering - any idea where I can find an Ennui Elite helmet in black? I have been searching for almost 3 months. Searched high and low.
Tough, I don’t know. Might have to import from EU
@@BacktoBlading even in EU I can’t seem to find. Thanks for replying. 🙂👍🏼
If anyone sees a link, let me know.
The ufr soulplate ist the first with wheel recess that actually work for large high- low frames
Fr plastic starts to bend better after you wear em in. I’m on my second week with them and the flex has definitely increased from brand new.
The "scoop" is for a little more room for big wheels if you mount the frames directly on the boot without the soulplates on.
The helmet help is cool 😎 ✌️👌respect that
Love my FR's. Definitely didn't get Intuition liners with mine.. Have nine pairs of various blades and they are definitely in the top 3.
WD40 is a good anti "squeaker"
I have tried this UFR with intuition liners. Is it really heel raised? Because I felt my Roces M12 are more raised. I kept pulled leaning back while using the UFR.
They are, but maybe less than the m12
Those cuffs on the UFR's really remind me of the K2's.
That zipper tech is revolutionary 🧥

Same, I got black wheels and ready to roll too in the UK.
I think the scoop design is much better. It helps contour the foot and cuts down on weight
I love gear talk, thanks for answering my question. For some reason I really thought that you own a V2 Intuition.
