topcabron Report post Posted June 24, 2019 I’ve been skating for cross training for about 20 years. just like cycling I have my collection of old skates. As skating has changed through the years, just picked up some Simmons boots with Simmons frames. Probably the newest change over the last couple of years is wheel diameter. When I started 80mm was common and 84mm was pushing the limits with five wheel frames. Now, as with these frames, 125 mm is the “new” norm. workout is pretty extreme. Love coming up to cyclists, drafting behind and then passing them. They never expect that. Speeds range from 15-25mph(sometimes faster) anybody else skate?

Yeah, you have to work at it and it’s all quads and strong ankles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
