From: Enzo Ferraro City, State, Country: miami,florida,USA 12/30/04
Comments: A really great Skate ! comfortable liners,light, fast and smooth grinds pretty nice ![..] ^^In my opinion the WideBody is nice for all soles , but for topside grinds not the best solution, 'cause the frame isn't high enough, so you have too less space. it takes a litle bit time to accustom ( ? - sorry, can't speak so good english ) to this low frame. But if you do, you will LOVE that skate ! ( or simply change the frame :P )

Comments:This is a pimp skate. It is definitely one of the best skates I've ever owned. If is does really well with pornstares and unitys it slides so damn fast. At first I didn't like it but when I broke it in it so tight. When I was doing a 15 stair I hardly felt anything on the landing. I think If u do have this skate ur missing out on a hell of a good time.

Comments:these skates are the bests!!!!! they grind super fast even faster than the k2 250cc they are by far the best for royale,frontside and any grind that includes using the grindplate they are also the best for 20 step jumps coz of the massive shock absorber and great for flips coz of the lightness

Comments:This skate is the best Salomon has done so far. They finally fixed the two major problems all the other Salomon skates have: They are really really flexible and their soulplate is superfast!!
From: 01/29/03
Comments:These skates are sick. when you put your foot in it's like a dream. these skates are also really durable. one other thing is the souls are bigger than ever. there really good for full torqes too. and the frames are really good. another good thing about them is there great for high jumps just like all salomons because of the huge shock absorber.
