What's the best off-road skating setup?

I was very happy with my 3x150 Next Outback, but now I've bought a secondhand 3x125 Next Renegade, I'm in doubt. 🤔

3x125mm does feel more playful and agile. And thus ... more fun?

Check out my first ride with those beautiful beasts:

Brussels is an awesome city for urban skating. And there are staircases. Lots of staircases. So I combined five of them into the longest stair ride of my life.

My setup is the FR Spin with the Rockin' Frames 576 frame.

I landed in the ditch. But no harm done! We continued rollerblading.

Thanks, Huub Hostyn and Yves Walschots, for the awesome skate flow!

I was going so FAST I landed in the DITCH Rollerblading on 3x125mm is fast. So when I went skating with my Powerslide Zoom 125 setup, I bombed down a hill and went even too fast. So fast I had to cho...

I thought I had thrown away 400 euros on a beautiful, but disappointing carbon boot. But then I made this change. And now, the IQON AG10 rocks.

Suddenly my IQON AG10 feels GREAT — what changed? My first ride with the IQON AG10 was very disappointing. Yeah, beautiful carbon boot, but I didn’t feel it. I had no control for wizard skating. Urban skati...

Rolling is boring – it's the moments in between that count. 😎
