This blade is straight dirt, in a great way!! This beauty has so much pop of when taking a clapper its insane. Probaly the best thing about this blade is its durability this baby has lasted forever (this coming from a guy that snapes a stick or two a month at least )and still had that brand new pop since the first skate. Throw this beaut on shaft for well under 200 hundred bucks and it is the best pieace on the market!
