honestly i have been rollerblading for close to 16 years now. i have owned a few begginer pairs then moved to the k2 ascent softboots. i remeber where and when i got them, for my birthday from a store non existant now. i tried them on in the store and flew to the other side in seconds flat it felt like. i have owned and worn these bad boys for 11 years. they are too small for me now but the maintnance was minimal and they still ride like i just got them. best skates put out by k2 so far. now i just need to find something in comparison.

I like these skates because they are much faster than regular skates.

I heard that the Calalyst were awesome. Its kind of expensive and its typicially not my type of brand.
