Just bought the twister xt, and this was pretty helpful. Appreciate the information given here. Really hoping the community gets bigger. I'm new to inline skating so I'm glad to see someone out there putting this stuff out there on specific skates.
The consistency of your video release is remarkable. The channel becomes the inline skate encyclopedia. Thank you. I'm going to buy Superfit insoles because you've raved about them so much.
I received a pre-release set of skates and can attest to the positive review reflected in this video. Every part of the skate is well thought out, designed and manufactured. I have a pair of intuition liners and superfeet (for intuition liners) and I have chosen to ride the stock liners and footbeds because they are so very comfortable. No after-market additions are required to upgrade this skate; it is a masterpiece. I have been skating since the early 90s and this skate is far and away the best overall skate design. I would recommend this skate over the Powerslide and FR offerings...although FR is a fantastic skate. I have a pair of Powerslide Next skates and I am underwhelmed by the design choices and materials of manufacture (including boot plastic and cast aluminum frames). In short: the Rollerblade Twister XT is highly recommended and you cannot go wrong with picking a pair up.
@@marlonmj5 I would say the support of the Twister is superior to the PS Next. The cuff is nearly the same height; the major difference is the liner: the new Twister liner has a plastic cover on the front side and it also has four (4) lacing holes (2 each side) near the top of the liner which, in my opinion, greatly improve the support of the skate. I have a set of Intuition liners which I do not use because the new Twister liners are so well designed, constructed and comfortable. As a side note: the Twisters come with three (3) sets of laces. The set which are in the skate when they ship are the short laces which will not be able to lacing hole in the liner. The other two sets of laces are longer and have the extra length to lace the entire lacing column. One set is black and one set is yellow.
Do you know when the next shipment of these skates will be coming out? Also will you be doing a video on high-end carbon boots such as the HC Evo, Adapt etc?
I got mine a month ago! I won them on a giveaway! I changed the frames to Endless 90s and Myfit Crown Liners. The boots are so much lighter that they used to be
@@freshasadaisy4782 if you compare them to the previous ones. I have the Twister Edge X boots and if you weight them alone the new ones are lighter. That's without the liners, frames and wheels
Thank you for a great review! You mentioned Intuition liner as a possible upgrade - would it be possible to do it after getting these skates in the size that fits with the original liner? RB liners might not be as padded as FRs, so downsizing RB skates for Intuition liners might not be as important as with FR shells. There are some shell sizing guides for wizard skates, but I couldn't find anything for RB
I'm surprised there's no mention of the RB Pro X. They fit my feet perfectly so I'm thinking they have essentially chosen me. I don't love that the buckles are riveted and the cuff isn't removable. I'd like to know your thoughts on them. A full review would be awesome!
Thanks. will this cuff work for all older/classic RB Twister model? I have a 15+ year old RB Twister but struggling to find a replacement. (Of course will still need to choose the correct size cuff)
Cor sure the twister feels better i upgrated ALL the parts on my skate though. Even the cuff. The reason is because of the trinity mount. But maybe i should do a trinity custom on the twister. Hmmm
@@Thisissoul if that trinity maxxum ever gonna happend i hope there will be a video of that, that sounds like an amazing skate, but would probably require removing the metal plates?
I want to buy bet twister XT or maxuum XT. What is difference besidea 90 mm wheels , I'm an experienced skater been skating since rollerblade first came.
Actually that is because we did not put them online. We had so few quantities and sales online were so high that we descided to keep them and sell them in store instead.

If you had the Next, how is the support of the Twister compared to it? I have the RB and somehow would like a tiny bit more support

Hope your channel get bigger and more popular. You have such a good content and personality.
Thanks burak!
Great video. Loved all the information you provided. Would love to see a review of the FR Skates FR1.
Working on it!

I have Maxxum edge 90, the same buckles, all of them are broken within a year, the spring inside just misplaced 😔
I got mine a month ago! I won them on a giveaway! I changed the frames to Endless 90s and Myfit Crown Liners. The boots are so much lighter that they used to be
Endless frames are heavier and Crown liners are als not lighter than the stock liners.
Why do you think your skates are lighter now?
Congrats bro
@@freshasadaisy4782 if you compare them to the previous ones. I have the Twister Edge X boots and if you weight them alone the new ones are lighter. That's without the liners, frames and wheels
@@seerseeker77 The Twister Edge X are lighter than the Twister Edge? You are kidding right?
@@freshasadaisy4782 the Twister Edge XT are lighter than the X from the previous years. I have them both in my bedroom 🤣

I live in Spain so I will have to travel to Amsterdam to see the shop!

I was looking for this model as well. Thanks for your review.

I see you skate powerslide next, why do you preffer them over rollerblade maxxum? They seem to be better overall quality.

Super nice video 👏🏻
Ivo do some video talking about the FRs different models, size and fit as well. Please!
For sure it is in the works :)
Trying to determine my size for the Maxxum. I measure abt 29 cm. My feet are regular width. I prefer a snug fit. Any suggestions?
Really helpful 👍thank you for the effort
Thank you for sharing
Best skates on the market. Period
Can you swap cuffs between the models?
Thank you so much.. keep going
I will!
I want to buy bet twister XT or maxuum XT. What is difference besidea 90 mm wheels , I'm an experienced skater been skating since rollerblade first came.
the main difference is the frame/wheel setup. The boot of the twister and maxxum is very similar
Do you rent out skates at your store? I've always wanted to skate in Amsterdam, but bringing my own skates when I visit seems like a hassle.
Jup! we rent out skates. see you soon!
the Twister Edge are what I mostly skate in my videos
I prefer the term rollerblading because the word 'skating' can get confused with skateboarding or hockey.
Imagine tennis players saying they would not use the word ball because it would confuse people with baseballs.
I'm surprised you still have maxxums and twister from years prior and haven't sold them yet
Actually that is because we did not put them online. We had so few quantities and sales online were so high that we descided to keep them and sell them in store instead.
@@Thisissoulsell me the wheels with the skeleton couple from the red lace twisters.
