We started around 11 pm. I was still sweating while wearing shorts past midnight, because the heat has been awful lately, but it was okay until the sun came out.
I wouldn’t have been able to do it during the daytime with the current weather.
While “advanced” wizard frames are not the best for urban use, the “normal” ones (ie; the ones with a small, non-progressive rocker) are perfect for it - they offer more agility and reaction speed than a flat setup, while being just as stable due to the length of the frame, with the only trade-offs being requiring more energy -as any rockered setup-, and being less safe when turning at high speeds (50km/h+), which isn’t a problem unless you live in a city in Switzerland or similar.
I live in a city where there’s a pothole every corner and poor pavement is the norm, and I can say that the Endless are much better than standard flat frames; not only does the rocker help prevent getting caught on imperfections, but the longer frame also gives you more stability.
I just skated 150km (i.imgur.com)
It was actually closer to 155, but I started recording like 5km in, so I did an extra 5 just to get the full distance on the app....
What skates to buy?

Once a year we skate from Mexico City to the pyramids. (www.instagram.com)
It’s about 50km - not that much, but once you reach the highway, there’s no cover from the sun, which is what hits you the hardest on this trip....
Blading while surrounded by nature is the best! 🌳 (www.instagram.com)
Second time doing this route. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite ones.
