Great infos once again, thanxs ! But this is the old gen Wizard (extruded aluminum as the Roka). Hope you'll do a comparison with the new gen Wizard frames (Cnc'd from solid block aluminum make them way stiffer with higher pitch sound)
@@indidogg1215 " As a throwback to our original frame aesthetic and build, this limited run is made out of a solid block of aluminium, with a custom engraving listing the production date, quantity produced, and the frame model. "
@@meangenes3295 no , they still do the trick if you just want to get into it or play around. Just keep in mind if you want wizards after you are now spending more like I will end up doing.
My question is, where are the plastic wizard frames? Incredibly surprising that neither an indy company or one of the large brands has come out with some injected molded glass filled nylon 80/90/100mm rockered UFS framesets. While the setup costs of injection molding are high, it still seems like a no-brainer to me. People would gladly accept the loss in stiffness for the smoother ride quality and incredibly decreased retail cost. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you plan on wizarding with plastic frames you should stick with aggs tbh. Wizard skating is a discipline that DEMANDS responsiveness and plastic frames just wouldn't cut it sadly. There are also other engineering difficulties that come into play when making a plastic big wheel frames because of the leverage against the skate itself, leaving your frames prone to breakages. Kizer makes some solid 90mm frames for cheap, compass has their 80mm frames, but if you're looking for wizard specific frames, plastic just doesn't work very well unless you're willing to use a lot of it.
Please do a blind testing... give some experienced skaters one of the frames beneath their feet, but don't tell them which. Than they have to guess which is which
How would that work? As soon as they put them on they’ll look down and be able to tell even if you taped them up they’d be able to tell me the different outlines.
You can. They are both UFS compatible. I would say Roces Fifth Elements are not the most supportive skate though. They cuffs are quite soft and flimsy, which isn’t idea for larger wheels.
@@wheelsceneblading thought the wheels were the same, when i looked at the them x braindead & wizard collab. Thought that the wheels on their 909s are the same ones used for the braindead x wizard 5 wheel frames
@@Kaito2.2 The wheels on the Braindead x Wizard frames are 80mm wheels, not aggressive wheels. In that video JK Park uses a combination of the Brain Dead Wheel and a blank white wheel, which could be UC or FR Street Invader. Also, the Them boot is significantly stiffer than the Roces Fifth Element boot. It offers a lot more support.
