Advantages: Affordable, Comfortable, and fast grinds. Disadvantages: I can't think of any.
...I ordered these skates with the Genesis 2 frames and Salomon Wide Bodies. However, you do not need the wide bodies, the skate has a decent soul area, but the wide bodies make it better (my opinion). I heard the frames it comes with are ok, but they break easily, so I would recommend getting an upgraded set. I also read that somebody said, these skates felt like you were strapped to 2 pillows that were gliding down rails, and this is very true. The liners are very very comfortable. When I first put on these skates, I thought I slipped on another sock. The boot molded right to my foot and made for a very comfortable ride. After I put my skates together, I went outside to skate for a little while. Right away, I could do a Royale, and comfortably too. I had not been able to do one before because my ST1s have terrible soul areas, and right...

Advantages: Nice shirt, very fashionable Disadvantages: United in blue - just not on
...Once again, the powers that be have had their way over the true fans. Manchester United in blue - it is just not on.
The kit itself is very nice, slick looking and extremely fashionable. A royal blue colour with red trim, and white logos makes for a very attractive shirt. The only problem - it is just not Man U!
The vodafone logo (update: now replaced by AIG) is in white across the centre of the shirt, with a white nike tick in the breast, and the club logo in a central position on the breastbone.
The shorts are in the same colour, baggy, with the red trim on the seam at the base, and the socks being nikes current half and half with blue fronts and red on the back.
As I say, the kit is lovely, once again expensive at £40 for an adult shirt, but somehow is just not a Man U shirt in feel or appearance.
The shirt...

Advantages: if your lost in the woods you can hold em up to light your way out Disadvantages: they are yellow, they aren't compatible with any parts from other manufacturers
...errrrrrrrrr, K2 250cc are horrible, for a start they are yellow. Whats that about? The soul space is tiny and they are mad fast on royales. Thats ok if your good at skating but if you've just started then you don't want to be falling on your head every time you try and learn one of the most basic tricks in the sport. I do not think you could possibly call these skates comfortable. Razors are comfortable, thrones are comfortable, these are like special shoes, urgh just disgusting. Then theres the softboot aspect, what is the point of making aggresive skates out of flimsy cloth. Every pair of these skates I see have big holes in the side and it just doesn't look good. Get some proper hard boot skates because you don't see them with big holes in the side do you?
And then you've got the wheels, K2 own brand because no real wheel...

I purchased this machine last year and we have been very happy with it. We are seriously coffee lovers and didn't mind paying a bit extra for a top quality machine, that was easy to use that would last us a long time - if these are your requirements... more
