Okay, first day testing the new Hon

SF

uh basic model. This is the 20% softer

sample and I will test it with the new

liner, the new sample of the liner and

stock wheels, stock everything. No shock

absorber. I cut the

the cuff in the way it will be modified,

but is still the same sample from

October from China. So, I'm going to try

this setup first. It's a little bit

windy, but sunny finally.

Okay, the skates are very, very

comfortable. The liner feels quite

premium. Good padding on the sides. The

tongue, it's not super hard, but it's

actually not that soft. So, there's like

a little bit of forward. There's not

much forward flex as I expected. The

size feels a little bit smaller than

before. So, [snorts] it's more like a 42

and a half I will say because this a

little bit of a too much padding around

the sides. But since it's a

liner made of foam, I think we'll

probably give a little bit away on the

sizing after a few sessions. Uh the

wheels feel very very fast. I like the

flat setup. Like the distance is quite

good going up and down of ramps and all

that.

But yeah, it feels very comfortable,

very supportive and fast. But right away

that's when I started to skate touch on

the front of the sole plate felt.

[laughter]

So that's a problem.

I'm skating more like freekate style

like crossing over and all that. But

still watch I touch and just slip out

like falling on my hip like on the first

minute. So you can see where it touches

the weights align the so with the edge

of the frame should not touch but when

you're crossing over you

lean on the tip like on the toes little

bit more extra than usual and that's

where where it touches. But of course

after a few grinds it should be okay.

But yeah I'm going to keep testing but

the liner feels really good. It's only

about the sizing. So, keep testing.

>> [laughter]

>> Okay, the curve ledge took me a a little

bit longer because I'm still figuring

out the angle of the Royale because the

way it's designed obviously like when

you put your toes to the front or to the

back totally different and after a while

it's going to wear down and create your

own groove obviously but especially in

the beginning since you have this kind

of area to lean on the frame and then

you have the other area on the back

slide so I don't think is bad at all.

But depending where people come from

from what I skate, it will obviously

take some time to get used to it. But so

far it's working and going to try all

the tricks.

>> I did not

wheel bite like not even once. Even when

totally missing the Royale and going

backside, no we bite at all. So it's

almost like cheating.

It's like the back unity.

It's like it's too fast. It's like

usually the problem is you are worried

about wheel bites. And this is not the

case. It's more like I can do like

torque almost. I'm going to try full

torque neck.

Now I'm trying the

zero liner

without the plastic sheet and no shock

absorber because when I tried the

fitting,

I felt the removing the plastic sheet

gives a little bit of extra shock

absorber. And I want to know if I feel

the mounting plates without the plastic

sheet. Trying the zero liners. No shock

absorber, no plastic sheet with the thin

uh insole with arc support. With art

support.

Uh the skate is very comfortable. It's

very It feels almost like a different

skate like much more anatomical shape.

It's like everything wraps around your

around the shape of your foot.

Much better heel locked, but I don't

think it's necessarily better.

So, it feels like more bouncy

everywhere. Like you get more return on

the forward flex and on the sides.

I don't feel like after skating the

other liner for an hour, I don't feel

this this more spacious, especially on

the toes. But overall, it feels like

yeah, like correct sizing. It doesn't

feel like huge difference in in width, I

would say. But it's very comfortable. No

pressure points in that sense. And a

different feeling because also I'm

lacing now to the top. By the way, the

skate feels very lightweight to me.

and good amount of lateral support,

forward flex, backward flex. I don't

feel like we need more v-cut really like

this are higher liner. So the feeling is

a little bit more similar to I would say

like this kind of razors rain liners

obviously like intuition which is not a

good thing but yeah I'm going to try how

it feels on tricks. I tried one backside

royale. I thought I could not go down,

but actually

did the whole slide like perfectly. So,

I'm going to try a few more tricks.

>> Okay, that soul grind felt so good.

I really like the sole space. Not too

big, not too small. You can lean on, you

can lock the tricks and you don't slip

out. It's very fast.

So, about the zero liner

now. After a few

minutes, it feels really good.

My foot just sitting inside the the

liner. It's grabbing my foot all around

my ankle. Everything is like like it's

like sucking my my foot inside. Feels

really good. Good support.

Without the plastic sheet, I don't feel

the mounting plates at all. And somehow

I feel

enough shock absorber with the tiny PU1.

I'm going to put on the the other shock

absorbers. Now to try

been trying some seslights and yeah they

are easy like I'm really bad at seslight

and I can do like down bank like a

royale ses light not touching with the

wheels at all like every time I fall

it's like the opposite like too much

plastic

But yeah, it works really well for a

flat 4 * 60 mm like not not having wheel

bite at all. Another thing about the

zero liner is like you really need to

pull the tongue on the back of the liner

a few times to really sit the foot

inside and avoid like any overlapping of

uh the different edges and stitching of

the liner and the shell. But once you

find the position like the lowest

position, it feels really good. Feels

amazing. Okay, testing of the shock

absorbers. Now with the zero liner

right foot, I have the hard

un

shock absorber and on the left the soft

green one.

I don't feel a big difference other than

when I'm skating,

the left one, the softest one is more

bouncy for sure, while the orange one is

just more like power transfer.

The higher stance on the heels,

uh, not as bad as I thought.

I have maybe a little bit more of heel

lift, but not really noticeable. It's

not really my style of blades because

Yeah. Now definitely feels more like a

razors, but not in a bad way. Actually,

I don't have my instep

being squished by the shell by the edges

of the lacing area.

And yeah, I feel a bit of less power

transfer, less performance for sure when

you're pushing and on the ball maybe,

but overall it's pretty good.

I always like more like a not bouncy

feeling, but compared for example to the

ACT icon, which I felt extremely bouncy

on the hill when I was skating, the

green one is actually a little bit

better and you feel the shock absorbing

more because when I land, I didn't land

anything big. maybe meter meter

something meter 20 really like a few

gaps and maybe I suffer a little bit

less on the left one

but

yeah I I'm thinking more of having like

two options of the PU shock abs sorry

one which is the free skate and another

one which is like 5 mm thicker and

having these two options inside the

skate will be the best I feel but

actually the the green one works. I will

say it works. Maybe it's a little bit

long because it's longer than the orange

one, but both do the job. But yeah, I

think I think the the green one is a

little bit better. And by the way, I

love the sound of the skates. Super

dumping actually without anything

between the shell and the sole plate.

And yeah, so far really, really good.

I'm going to skate a little bit more

now. I will change the wheels.

Okay. So, this whole frame is the not

modified yet. So, it's the same that we

saw in China. So, these wheels doesn't

fit.

58 mm.

Okay. Okay, so I mounted the 58 mm

wheels from the other factory

and I don't feel much of a difference

skating like touching more with the sole

pil with the frame really which is

surprising. But I feel them much more

sticky.

The profile is more square. Not a big

difference, but

the stock ones since the the profile is

rounded and they are matte and they are

kind of soft when you roll. But they

don't get caught when you touch the

ledge. So I feel the stock ones are much

better. Not much better, but I don't see

I don't feel much of a difference. But

the shiny ones, they are a lot more

sticky. So when you touch the ledge, you

really get stuck.

And yeah, I don't know about durability.

I will need to give them like a longterm

testing.

But yeah, I'm so tired today. And it's

been like three more than 3 hours. And

now it's getting dark and cold.
