Previous Feedback
Comments: Been skating on these now for a couple of months. New to aggressive skating, but I've been skating overall for 30 years. I upgraded the frame to Element 2 frames by Kizer for long term durability concerns. I didn't care for the anit-rocker setup. Felt it inhibited my agility in the skate park. The stock liner is comfortable. Will be purchasing a heel support or insole to provide needed shock absorption. The memory upper buckle is great to lace up your skates quickly and clip that buckle in to retain the same tightness you previously had it set at. Time saver when you just want to get out and skate. Seems to be a time-tested design and a good skate for someone starting out in the aggressive arena like me. Oh and I upgraded the bearings as well. The stock bearings were painfully slow on ramps and trying to get some speed before attempting a grind or jump. To wrap this up, clean looking skate, solid construction, decent liner, and priced affordably for the product.
