Previous Feedback
Comments:The Vector 04 is a great pair of skates for beginners. I do not recommend this pair for intermediate and advanced players. The chassis can not withstand high stress torque. The frame locking the front wheel completely snapped off on my son's skate... twice... after less than a year on each pair.
