When I first took them out of the box I put them straight on my feet and went for a street skate. The wheels are a pile of shit and I threw mine away straight away, the bearings are pretty lame too. On street I would recommend the 'cozmo' mini-fly wheels with some abec-5 bearings.
The skates grip to you're fit like nothing else, the liner is the best I've ever skated, a big improvement on the K2's I was using, and I big improvement on the old rollerblade skates. The soul space is huge! u remember when the fifth elements first came out, and how big that soul was compared with other models? Well this is the modern comparison! It seriously is big. I only skated street on these skates a couple of times, but on those occasions they performed really well, solid landings on gaps and VERY fast on rail........ Almost a bit too fast!!
On vert and park these skates are in my opinion the very best. On vert as soon as I put these skates on I was getting over 7 feet, they are just really solid, but again.... loose the wheels!! They are fast for grinding on the coping and planters. I have managed to rip through my skins and break the toe cap, but the first batch of toe-caps were said to be dodgy and I got a new replacement, so all is good. (Touch wood)
What is there left to say? If u mainly skate park and/or vert then these skates are a must, and for street you should consider them, but they are not for every street skater.

The only thing i would ass to that is when i got mine being mainly a street skater took them out for a spin and found on ledges is was impossible to fall off the soul area being so big, Rails were fast on soul bassed tricks as well. When on h-block stuff very slow put my Ground Controls on and everything way good. A very hard skate to royal in though i found it almost impossible in them.
And i killed the shins on mine pritty quikley!
As for them being a park skate i think thats the cause they are VERY fast on copeing and good for airs verys solid! these skates were for me though so i swaped them if you prefer skating park i would highly reconmend them
