I like em, if a Valo came out in these colours, everyone would be bigging them up, so good stuff, and it makes them look more like an 8 than a 13 too!

I have to disagree about the fluids, i have always skated flat, since it was possible ( my old RB Chocolates had to be anti cause there was no space in the middle at all, but my Salomons were designed for it ) and i think the fluids are almost perfect for a flat set up. The groove is perfect, and once you are locked on, you stay locked in, not like Slimlines that slide about everywhere! the perfect flat frame though in my opinion are the Kizer Element, because the H block has 2 grooves and can be turned over depending on what set up you like, one groove is Slimline style, and the other side Fluid style. Just my opinion, but as i have been skating since '95, I have seen a lot of different styles and ideas come and go, and i think with the amount of choice for parts nowadays, people dont realise how lucky they are to have those options available. Gone are the days when every week a new set of grindplates was needed to cover the Mamoth groove in your non replaceable stock frames!

Hi, there isn't much wrong with the Deshi souls, other than a lack of protection around the boot, and the Backslide groove just didn't suit my farvs. Ivo at THISISSOUL did the Valo Soul mod for me, so as he has already replied, it the heel that needs most work. To be honest, the weight difference is negligable when you have frames and wheels etc on anyway, the deshi's arent actually that much lighter than most skates anyway. I Think that the Deshi souls are better for royal / torque tricks, though the soul seems slower than the normal soul plate. Worth a go if you fancy a change, but not much improvement over the deshi.

Hey, if there are any K2 fans who want to buy an improved pair of classic K2 skates, let me know. i'm planning on selling these, just because i have got to many pairs and projects on now, and i can't really do much more to these. any serious offers considered.
