haha, same here ! I ALWAYS skate with a backpack, the main reason: to protect my spine. Also: carry food, water, phone, Allen key, footwear (sometimes), etc..I usually do 1.5-2hrs. sessions on the city (speed, slide, and jumps) so it's worth it..btw love your channel ! althougt too risky for my taste 🤣🤣

I disagree on this. It probably varies from person to person. I skate to buy groceries basically every day(10-15 km on weekdays, 15-35 km on weekends), and always with a backpack. Usually what I buy weights 1-5 kg. Up to 3kg it hardly makes any difference. At 5 kg it pulls backward very much, so you have to be careful. After leaving the store it takes 1-2 minutes to "calibrate" myself to the weight but after that it's OK.

Backpack is definitely hot, but for long sessions, I carry : water, tool, wallet, some snacks and sometime other things. Don't see better solution.

I once fell down from my bike and landed on my back, I was lucky I had a change of clothes in my backpack. Since then, I feel more at ease riding with a backpack.

get a fannypack! I use the strap to carry all the protective gear, buckle the helmet, and carry the skates with a strap on the other shoulder, and go with sandals. Then I can put the strap and sandals inside the fannypack, along with my phone, a small hex key, a small towel, and a collapsible 10L backpack in case of need, I could even carry a bit of water

Wearing a backpack with a hip strap will ease your back a lot and get the weight on your hips. The manouverability will improve a bit as well, still not ideal, but commuting to work does need some storage. Sweat is a big issue indeed... Most of the times I dont take a lot of weight, but the bag can be a big back protector as well, even save your head from butting into the ground when falling backwards.

I think it very much depends. I would not ever recommend any beginner to skate with a backpack. The main problem is that a backpack impacts your balance in unpredictable ways and as a beginner that always ends in a fall. I would also not recommend to go vert skating with a backpack. But if you are an experienced skater, a backpack will still impact your balance, but you are much more capable of counteracting. I think to outright say "don't skate with a backpack" is not good. Maybe a video on how to safely skate with a backpack would be better. For example, most important when skating with a backpack aside from the obvious protection is to use one that can be tightly strapped on and choose one that sits comfortably and puts the centre of gravity on your lower back, to impact the balance less. Also, don't strap on anything to your backpack, and make sure that weight is evenly distributed. Strapping on skates or just a water bottle are a no go.

I'm going to work with my inline skates so i have to wear a backpack to store my shoes, water, work clothes, computer and some maintenance gear I have the FR Skates 30L and it has a hip and chest strap and it's really incredible I agree with you on the sweat, but it would be the same thing as going with a bike

Trail/Marathon vests are completely overlooked but absolutely awesome! They are very lightweight, have loads of pockets that you access without taking it off, and most importantly the weight is spread around your waist so you don't get off-balance while jumping

ok, I can understand your position, but what would you recommend as an alternative then? I am a diabetic so I have to have my phone to be able to monitor my blood-sugar as well as dextrose (no i can not wait to get to a shop if I have to use it since I might go into a coma before I manage to buy what I need) along with some other essentials (like insulin and other meds) Personally I hate backpacks but unlike on my bike where I got a frame bag I do not have this option here. So my question remains: what would you use as an alternative in my situation? Thank you in advance for your answer. PS: i used your guides to get my starting equipment when I began skating again a few weeks ago. Thank you for those too :)

not sure if this would actually help you at all (im quite ignorant to the size of the things you would need to monitor your condition), but i did see another commenter suggesting a fanny pack? i feel like i can see this being a decent alternative as its much smaller but still large enough to carry essentials, and sits in a different position on your body. i do apologise though if this kind of bag is too small/not right for you. let me know what you think!! :)

Honestly the only backpack I can recommand is the Montain Bike bag Osprey Syncro 12 or 20 liters. You can tight it well, has a camelbak, lot of pockets and the back is ventilated. You cannot put your skates inside and it is expensive on the other hand. But if like me you need to carry tools, lights, medical kit, speaker, water, shoes, cones, lightweight jacket, etc... It is my preferred bag so far.

If you must, wearing it as front pack might work better for balance. Pull straps tight so pack is not slack and floppy. Even better if your pack has a waist strap.

Well, while I understand your opinions Ivo and know it sure will be hotter on the back I will mention that I've iceskated like Elfsteden en elfmerentochten back in the day and on a quite serious speed with backpack and only found it a very minor disadvantage. While streetskating marathon plus plus distances I sometimes use a like lower type hippack on my back, small disadvantage but a gain in the drinks/food and nessesary materials you can take with you...

While Skating with heavy or large bag can cause balance issues, especially if you're doing tricks, it is generally fine for commuting. For those doing a lot of tricks, I would recommend the Osprey Daylite or similar bag. I can carry a water bladder and other essentials and the bag is so small and form fitting to the back I almost don't notice it there. It also has a waist strap which is great for jumps so the backpack doesn't bump around your back when you jump.
