best skate

[Anonymous]

Im getting new skates.. what are the best companies (also i dont have much to spend)

[Andy Chase]

I like the razors skates. The good thing is they haven't really changed that much since the new boot style so if you can find a deal on skates that are a few years old like shima 4's you can get a good skate for not a lot of money.

I like my K2's, they've got enough flex for street and park and i can get them tight enough for vert. Im going to be getting Xsjado's soon and i can't wait to try them out on a vert ramp to see how good they will work. But K2's i feel are pretty good even though there kinda heavy but i got used to the weight

Razors are great skates for everything. Just change the buckles if you want to make it really tight. The holes line up the same as Salmon buckles so it's not a hassle to change.

Dude, get TRS skates. they're cheap and have a lot mor flex, which makes more comfortable. i recomend the alex broskow '04. buy on inline warehouse, only 125, cheap but good choice!! :D :D :D :D

Okay, here's my two cents...you being a vert roller would probably go for a flat setup. With that said, if you do get razors, ditch the stock frames...unless you are the cleanest ledge skater known to man. Stock frames sux0rz. You can't go wrong with a set of ables. I'd go with the old school razors over the new ones. the old razors flex MUCH better than the new ones. get new razors if you like to do cess slides and/or negative grinds....that's about it.

K2 are damn decent skates. They mold to your feet like gloves. Big-assed souls make grinds second nature. However, take very good care of them, especially your buckles. K2 dont replace them or the external ankle support....bad move K2.

Cant really give RB props like I used to because them skates dont come with royale grooves, and it's a bitch when you get the perfect groove, only to have to start all over again because RB made the midsouls too thin. Other than that, another overall good skate.



If you're broke like me, go to a place like play-it-again sports, get some old ass used razors, buy a new soulframe, slap on some better frames/wheels and you're good to go...or just get cult4.

I think my skates are the best, Daytonas with the TRS midsoles and grind inserts and Fiziks frames, Senate liners.

wow that must have taken some work. Datonas are old school. I loved those skates when I got them!

[hcb101]

thats real old school i havent heard of datonas in a long time.

in my opinion though razors are the shit and are awesome.

Though i was at the park and my ankles were killing me the otherday and my friend let me use his sjado skates for they had great ankle support and they feel so good and rock.

SO im going to be getting a pair of sjado skates and razor teams come this summer.

my moto you cant go wrong with razors.

oh and im going to make an apoligy regarding about remz if finally took a while to sink in why my ankles kep on aking all the time. Unfortunaly Although i like them for street im switching back with razors cause the ankle support was killing me on the remz.

[Andy Chase]

How did you switch those daytonas up???? I really want to slap some daytona (or 68' impala) frames on some razors.

very cool dude
quick question how far do you live from Daytona Beach, im moving down there in September to finish school and im looking for rollers in florida to skate with while im there

[Anonymous]

pretty cool setup

[Derek L]

Thanks for the comments I just made them for somthing to do. I havnt realy skated them yet, just rolled around on them to see how they feel.

I live about 5 or 6 hours from daytona, I cant skate for a while my back is realy messed up. Your best is go up Jax and skate Kona Their vert ramp is huge. The one thing that sucks about the ramp is it faces east and west so in the afternoon you get blinded when you come up the west wall.

[Paul]

how far is Kona from daytona, i saw it on an edit of thr RFCC tour and the park looks HUGE

[Derek L]

I'm not to sure how far it is, one to two hours maybe. You could also get on I-4 and head to Orlando and skate Vans the vert is nice. I used to go there about four days a week with my friend Paul Nora(damn cant spell his last name) and Elmer Pillon used to come up there to.

When are you coming down here? I may be able to skate in a month we could meet up at vans.

[Paul]
