My experience with the following equipment is: | |||
=== Boots === | |||
In the past I used soft boots. Tried one pair of hard shell plastic boots and did not liked it. Currently Seba carbon boots only. | In the past I used soft boots. Tried one pair of hard shell plastic boots and did not liked it. Currently Seba carbon boots only. | ||
Two pairs of Adapt skaters to conclude that adapt is hype. Most uncomfortable boots ever used and poor craftsman work when compared to seba. | |||
I did not pay full price for them, nor anyone should as they are not worth more than $500 cad and that is due to the boot being carbon. | |||

=== Endless === | |||
I bought the [[endless]] frame 4x 100mm / 3 x 110mm during 2021. | |||
# It is a frame designed for beginners and intermediate skaters and not advanced skaters | |||
# Although the lightest of it's kind for wizard skating, it is still one of the heaviest of all frames out there and on speed skating and marathons it's weight is felt as performance decreases. | |||
# Not aerodynamic design which has negative effect on it's performance for speed and long distance which is heavily felt during windy days. | |||
# Axel holes are both from the right side due to the frames being identical. You will have to remove the right boot if you want to change the wheels on the go. | |||
