5-Wheeler
Got a pair of new skates ! They are 5-wheel-speed-skates !
Equipped with 84mm 83A race wheels on 340mm extruded aluminum frames.
I was so lucky that I could find my size (I have real small feet).
Went to Central Park for a trial skating.
They are fast, well balanced; on the other hand, they are heavier than my 4-wheel skates. Because of longer frames, it was a bit difficult for manipulations such as forward cross, transition, small turn etc. but I think I will get used to soon.
I like my new pair a lot :)
:: DATA ::
Skates: TR Mag3 (Morning) Pilot V Pro (Night)
Route: Broadway, Central Park Loop
Mileage: 17.5 km.
Weather: Temp. 35F (1.5C). Winds 3.5 mph, Events Overcast, Humidity 57%.
