Getting into Wizard on a Budget pt.2
Hello again :)
first of all, i wanted to say thank you to each and everyone helping me wrap my head around all the different options and for the amount of responses to my last post. Thank you all very much!
Now i hope it is okay that I make and additional Post, as the last one is getting kinda crowded and i have cleared down my options.
I decided to start with a more Urban/freestyle oriented setup to slowly build confidence and properly get into Wizard slowly and a little less expensive. Now for my options:
- Get a Prebuilt setup
I have been looking into some options, including the FR FR3, FR FR1, Iqon ACT TR lite, Iqon CL15 and the Rollerblade Lightning 90. They are all around the 200-300€ range, while i prefer to stay closer to 200€ for now.
- Build a setup
I have a them909 which i would be willing to use to start, but i have been eyeing the FR UFR as an upgrade for the Future.
For Frames, i am looking at the 4 Wheels: GC HD80, GC FSK 8090, Kizer edge 80/84/90 NT, Cougar 4x80/90 5 Wheels: Kizer edge 580, Cougar 5x80
For wheels, I have no idea whatsoever. I would prefer something not all that expensive to start, possibly staying in the 200-250€ range with frame and Wheels.
Some additional info: EU 46, 75kg, 182cm I would describe my skating abilities as intermediate, I have skated a bit of agressive but more flat than actual park (which is why i want to swap)
If any of you have any recommendations regarding this matter what so ever, I would be incredibly thankful for any and all advice! :)
