Hi everyone I'm Ting Ting Welcome to my channel
it's about all of the fun things
something that I've been doing for a while now is skating
and today I'm really excited because
today is new skate day let's go
I used to rollerblade a bit when I was little in the roller rinks
they were really popular in the 90s so about a year and a half ago I decided to buy
my first pair of skates that I ever owned and that was actually this pair of skates
I still really like this skate but this is very much a beginner skate
It's not very expensive This is the impala
light speed inline skate It has a 70 millimeter wheel
and it's super duper cute and it looks exactly like
the ones that we had in the 90s which is why I still really
like it and why I still have it and lots of my friends have them too
but when I started wanting to skate longer distances
I wanted slightly bigger wheels This was a great wheel to start on
because the 70 millimeter wheel doesn't roll very fast
so it's not that scary so this was fantastic for beginning
but after I'd been learning for a few months I quickly moved up to this skate here
which is the Rollerblade Twister and this skate has four 80 millimeter wheels
I have actually replaced the wheels these aren't the original wheels
as you can see I've had lots of scratches I've had lots of falls happy falls with all
of my protective equipment on on these skates Now the problem I'm having is that
I want to go longer distances so the furthest distance I've ever
gone in this skate is 50 kilometres and that was actually quite a lot
around about 40 kilometres my feet really started hurting
I got a lot of blisters that's just the reality of skating
But the thing is that I'm hoping that a bigger wheel
will enable me to eventually hit 100 kilometers So I'm not getting rid of these skates because
I really like them for the skate park but today I finally got my new skates
The box is huge to represent how amazing they are
about three months ago I paid for these skates and I had to wait for them to come from Germany
and apparently they're in huge demand and so they're just making them and
they're coming in batches and we've got a lot of
delivery problems in Australia at the moment but I'm very excited because I finally got them
this is called the Powerslide Next in glimmering grey
because it's sort of gray and it's got these lavender accents
and I'm really excited about this skate because it's a tri-skate
but it also looks cute and if I'm going to spend a lot
of money on a skate it's kind of important that i like the way that it looks as well
because I'm going to be skating in it for a really long time I hope
This skate has three 100mm wheels I've never skated on 100 millimeter wheels before
I feel like now that I have one and a half years experience skating
and I'm really confident on the 80 millimeter wheels
I should be okay but I do know this is
gonna take some getting used to Why is this skate so awesome?
The frame has the trinity mount system which all powerslide skates have
and what that means is that it's got three bolts in the bottom instead of four
and that actually allows them to have the wheel kind of coming closer to the boot
which means that you're not as high off the ground and actually I did put these on and I can tell
I don't feel like I'm that much further off the ground
so that's actually a really good thing for balance everything on the skate moves really fluidly
so like everything's just beautiful like the way it moves
I'm never thinking oh man am I going to be able to undo this
which has happened to me with other skates like it felt really stiff or or something
the laces feel like they're really good quality
everything is just really really really good quality on this skate
right from the wheels through the bearings just through to everything
but one of the main features I was really excited about is the liner
so the liner is the Powerslide MYFIT liner and what you can actually do with this liner
is heat mold it so yesterday
when I went to the shop to pick them up the guy there heated them up in a special machine
and then I put my foot inside them and then waited for them to cool down
and the liner molded around my foot so it's a very special skate
very excited to skate in it I think it's definitely
time to go and try them out now and then later on I'll do another
video maybe after I've skated them for a while to let you know how they're how they're going
further on down the track but let's go
Welcome to lake Joondalup This is one of my favourite
places to skate in Perth I've just come 10 kilometers
around the lake it's 17 kilometers
to go the whole way around the lake so i still have a little bit left to go
but so far 10 kilometers in my feet are feeling really good
I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be used to the harder wheels on these skates
so they come with an 88a wheel and I'm used to skating on an 84
so I'm used to the wheels being more grippy so these ones are a little bit more slippery
there was a wet patch back there where I tried to t stop
and I was like ah it's a bit more slidey than I'm used to
but overall that's actually hasn't been a problem I don't feel like I need to change the wheels
they're really good the boot has been really comfortable
there's a little pressure point pushing on my right foot arch
but that's to be expected overall I was expecting to be in pain by now
because usually when you get a new pair of skates you do need to have some break-in time
so I'm very impressed with the comfort so far really impressed with the fit
so overall so far I'm really really happy I'm really happy that I got these skates
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for watching
don't forget to hit like and I am going to
get the rest of the way around the lake so I can get home to Matthew
to show him that I haven't yet broken his 360 degree camera
I'll see you next time bye oh yeah and I meant to say
I'm really sorry that there haven't been any kangaroos
there's a lot of kangaroo poo here but I haven't been able to show you a kangaroo yet
