Bombing a downhill run with Andreu Grese
“The POWERSLIDE HC Evo is the pinnacle of urban freestyle inline skating. Now in its third generation, this high-performance urban skate has evolved to be light, supportive, and incredibly responsive, making it the ideal skate for slalom, downhill, and intense inline fitness skating. The boot of the HC Evo has a light, rigid Japanese carbon composite shell that’s heat-moldable, giving you the perfect fit and unmatched responsiveness. The upper portion of the boot is made of a combination of breathable nylon mesh and strong PU-leather that incorporates a TPU panel for extra lateral support. The POWERSLIDE HC Evo boot is complete with a sophisticated closure system that includes traditional lacing, 45-degree and cuff ratchet buckles, and a velcro toe strap that all combine to keep your foot securely in place. The HC Evo Pro also features a built-in 3mm higher heel raise to give you a little bit of extra forward lean. Ideal for precise freestyle skating, the HC Evo is designed around the famous TRINITY mounting system, providing a low center of gravity that gives you superb control and stability. The TRINITY system also allows you to adjust your frame position to further improve performance and responsiveness.
Powerslide TRINITY Downhill Frame DH350 - the fastest downhill frame ever Downhill inline skating is an extreme sport practiced by some really crazy adrenaline junkies looking for the thrill of maximum speed. The Powerslide downhill frame DH350 breaks the rules and sets a new benchmark! Using a 5 wheel frame with 5x90mm setup was set in stone for downhill races. We at Powerslide thought it´s time for a change! This new frame with its 125-110-110-125 four-wheel setup will boost your performance. The 125mm/110mm wheel combination generates a higher top speed while the patented TRINITY 3-point mounting construction, with the front wings forming a deep channel for the wheels, lowers the center of gravity as much as possible. TRINITY delivers the stability, support and power transfer you need at extreme speed. With a length of 350mm from first to last axle this frame is about 15mm shorter than a 5x90mm frame which means a similar handling. The DH350 is made of extruded and CNC machined 6061 aluminum. The double voided construction as well as the 3-point mounting add incredible stiffness to the frame. This eye-catching frame will shredd some records - stay tuned.” - Powerslide
