A company called G Form: g-form.com/ Very versatile protection equipment. Low profile so it can fit under a lot of clothing too.

Sorry for the delay getting back to you! Realistically, either would work well for what you're looking to do. The 80 mm wheels will feel a little easier to skate. Lower center of gravity, etc. 90 mm wheels roll over cracks and imperfections a little better. So, if you're skating on rough surface, the 90 might make more sense, but either one would certainly work just fine.

Hi David! Fortunately for me, we have a brick and mortar ski shop that does a lot of custom work on ski boots. I used a boot press to stretch the boot a little right where the navicular bone is. It's a fairly common practice if you happen to have a ski shop near you. I often have to do the same thing to ski boots.

Im mostly interested in sort of urban flow skater. Something 4 or 5 x 100

@@hamlordofpork I'm a big fan of the Rollerblade Maxxum Edge 90. That's 4x90. I personally use the Twister Edge X for that kind of urban flow skating, although those are 4x80. There's a Twister Edge 3x110 that's pretty darn fun too, I just prefer the lower center of gravity personally.

Your Powerslides might have nicer bearings? Between bearings and a 100 vs 80 mm wheel, that would be a pretty significant difference in speed.

It's not necessarily a heat moldable liner, like there's no memory foam in there or anything, but you could still heat mold it if it was a matter of trying to fix some hot spots or stuff like that. Heating it up will essentially shorten the break-in period, if that makes sense...

There are certainly some similarities, but plenty of differences too. The most notable is the boot itself. The Macroblade is a soft boot with a frame, while the Twister is a complete hard boot. Soft boots tend to me more comfortable right out of the box, where as I had to do a little custom work on my personal pair of Twisters. A hard boot, however, provides more support and better power transfer, so generally will feel like a higher-end, higher-performing skate. The Macroblade is typically a better choice for a beginner, intermediate, or recreational skater. Twister is a better choice for an advanced/expert skater and/or someone who's harder on their equipment.

Yup!
