or just do what humphrey does and never actually do tricks.

this way all you have to do is replace the wheels. every 2 years.

Salomons (depending on the plastic) will always get less sturdy.

Some models have a rubbery plastic which can flop out after a year or so. Others are much stiffer and can last several years. The carbon souls seem to be one of the better fits for Salomons, but you'll need to flatten the boot to fit them. I did it with M12 souls and worked great and felt really similar for royales, but better for torques.

Agreed, plenty more to go around.

I have a pair of bcam 2s that I will probably never skate, but I will beat the piss out of my ST ones. The bcam 2 liners will help me fit into medium shells and the frames are on my xsjados. I find it just to be a bonus that I have the actual boot as well.

just got my fourth pair of salos from ebay, st-pros in size 11.5 for $50 shipped. i lucked out so hard with my past 3 pairs, each one had only been used for rec skating (who bought salomons to roll around?) this one looks to be the same. comfyskateaddict4lyfe
