Amazing. I had a pair of the first edition and a couple more releases following. The CE stands for Chris Edwards who was a pioneering pro for aggressive inline skating. There were other and arguably better models out there, but growing up in a town of less than 50000 people we didn't have a ton of options. And I absolutely despised the k2 fatty pro line...always felt like I was leaning back when I wore them. I upgraded to these from a pair or Bauer moulded fitness skates and never looked back. That was probably 1993-1995 when I was early to mid highschool age.I learned to do a bio and perfected my rail skills thanks to rollerblade and Chris Edwards. To the guy that says these aren't even skates....you need to learn to appreciate the origins of the street skating sport and not just the perfect parks and advanced tech of today's market. We didn't have parks then and the closest we had was a shoddy wood mini-ramp halfpipe in a kids backyard...otherwise we were getting trespass warrants on the streets of Belleville, Ontario. Now I'm 41 and trying to find a pair of skates that don't hurt my feet like all the generic k2 crap out there. Any suggestions for a moulded, wider skate for an old dad here?
