NEW BLADES + SETUP/SESSION PICTURE POST

My new remz os3’s FINALLY came in! i love them. they feel very very verrrrrrrrry comfy. the liners are very thick especially when compared to my old valos.

I also ordered  the chimera mike lilly wheel, the new ground control turquoise featherlite frame, and vicious bearings!

i figure i should comment on a couple first impressions i have from them.

LINER: the new precise liners have a few upgrades from the big J liners that came out sometime last year. I noticed the tongue on the precise liners is VERY plush and padded compared to the big j. the big j’s werent padded at all and the velcro pocket on the back of the tongue caused me a few problems(blisters, scratch feeling, and general pain sometimes). the padding on the precise liners takes all of that away in my opinion.

another nifty thing i noticed was the frame bolt in the heel spot is inside of the liner, and ALSO inside of the heel pad. i think it was a really good idea for reasons like heel lift. this in conjunction with the shell ankle strap, the velcro that goes over the tongue of the liner, and the liners padding all help keep the skate snug and responsive.

FRAME: ive always loved skating ground control frames. especially when they finally made all the hardware to their frames 8mm and metal. those plastic ones were nooo fun haha

the sickle bolts i think are a great idea and do their job very well. one allen wrench, and no spinning of axles while grinding. the grooves line up perfectly. i have the size nine os and size 2 gc frame for anyone who was wondering or needed advice on sizing.

the antirockers that come with the frame are perfect. same material as the frame and they are very sturdy in my opinion. alot of people love real antirockers with bearings and such but i find the bearingless antis to work great. i often got stuck with urethane antis and these are made of the same material as the frame so no issues there. just a matter of personal preference but i thought i should note it.

they slide really nice haha very fast. all that good stuff.

all in all the frames do a good job in my opinion. the groove and antirockers work together very well.

WHEEL&BEARING: i love vicious bearings. bottom line. the abec 5s are amazing. i had an earlier pair since this last hoedown.  so thats been a really long time. they are durable and very speedy. definately a nice dose of venom

i got the 5s for the price and their durability. i trust them. i had them since hoedown 08 and just yesterday i let them go. they still spun! so for all the people wondering… they are durable and fast. well worth the money.

i love mike lillys blading and i had to get his wheel. normally im scared of 56 mm wheels and especially softer ones of 88a but these feel really durable. i put them through a pretty rough break in and they handled it wonderfully. theirs holes all over the run up of the curve ledge haha

i love my setup. the bs plate and frame groove line up perfect. the liners are comfy. the wheels and bearings work beautifully together. the skate is light and responsive. really responsive. no sloppiness or heel lift. the souls are great as well. kato and the team do a wonderful job. congratulations and thank you for making another wonderful skate.
