The look of this skate is very appealing with its newly added shock absorber. The chassis even looks stronger than last years model I saw. The skate I would say is very good for a skater who would like a straight chassis and good looking wheels. I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner though.

Bauer is the best company now for skating. They have been a big skate company for fifty years.

Long lasting and fit well. Quite expensive when buying for kids.

These skates are perfect for street hockey and offer more than enough ankle support while at the same time flexing for manueverability. The only complaint I had was that they are narrow and pinch my wide feet.

On the expensive side, yet extremely comfortable. I can spend all day in these. Great cushioning, smooth ride, and great on turns. Kind of a tacky color though.

These skates are very good apart from the ankle support. There could be a power strap around the top and the lacing system could be improved. For a recreational and fitness skate as well as a beginners skate I would highly recommend it as it's my first pair of in-lines and they have served me well so far.
