Comments:great skate, rolls comfortable, rock solid, will lock onto things you never thought were skateable. two minor things to consider, especially if you skate more street than park one, get yourself different frames, as the mooks get hung on every piece of gravel you skate near. two, get yourself the ankle strap and instep pad from a Damien Wilson pro model, as it helps to reduce the heel lift. i do recommend these over the pro model, as there is more strength to the sole materiel. peace out, keep rolling. and give your old skates to a friend that wants to start out. keep the rolling way alive!
