As I finally have my new
Invaders
my UK6 Vixens are on the block! Product info from Everglides:
Quote:
Brand new for 2009, the Riedell Vixen has been designed specifically for the rapidly expanding Roller Derby market. Leather uppers with stylish Riedell graphic to the inside of the boot, the lacing pattern comes right down over the front of the toes in a similar way to the ever popular 265 boot.
The skate is fitted with the new Powerdyne Triton Aluminium plate, the first in the Powerdyne line up ever to have a cranked toe stop. This puts the toe stop in line with the centre of the boot, rather than offset towards the little toe as on most quad skates.
The wheels are Radar Flat Outrageous, which are derby specific, grippy wheels (88A, 62mm) and narrower in profile than standard skate wheels.
...Although mine actually come with Radar Flat-Out wheels, which are the same grippiness but without the narrow profile and with a "speed groove" thingy down the middle.
I've had them since the beginning of FM on 1 May, so pretty much four months of practice once a week plus occasional CYC evenings. They're still in very good shape - they just don't fit my wide hobbit feet!
I'd also be up for selling wheels and skates separately.
If anyone's interested in trying them on, let me know and I'll bring them along on Sunday!
