Salomon Feinburg

okay the Salomon Feinberg pro-model.
Well i guess if your reading this then you know who the hell aaron feinberg is huh? well like him or not, hes got a pro-skate.
If you are at all familiar with the previous model of salomon agressive skates then you will know that not much has changed appearance-wise with these new beauties. Keeping with the individual boot mould, they have chosen to beef up the specifications of the skate instead. So here is whats new on these new blades.
THE UFS SYSTEM FRAME. now the soul plate is a seperate piece that attatches onto the frame. This is a move by salomon to forge the way forward with frane standardisation, making the frane marjet more competitive, resulting in more compatibility therefore better prices for consumers.
On the grind the soul was impressively fast, having had a pair of K2 250's on my feet about 3 minutes earlier i would even venture far enough tp say they equalled the speed of the K2's, and on some variations (alley-oop soul in particular) they felt faster. HOwever they still manage to maintain a good amount opf speed control, not slipping out too much.
The shock absorber is still the same type, but as the sayin goes, "if it aint broke, dont fix it" and is still what i beieve to be one of the best on the market.
The wheels are mindgame-poured Salomon pro wheels. THey glide smooth and fast, but are not the best wheels wear-wise. Making the wheels turn are fast gliding abec5 bearings. mmmmm.....nice! boy are they fast!
The liner has been slightly beefed up, and neoprene fitted in the harder wearing parts of the liner. THis combined woth the wonderful shock absorber definetly puts in strong contention for one of the most comfortable skate on the market. After skating USD, Roces Khuti and K2 in the last year, i would have to say i am very happy on salomons at the moment. A great fast crusing park skate, at a great price (£169.99)
