Powerslide Next 80 - Black Core

  • Cymatics + Magic Boots

The Powerslide Next set new standards in the field of freeskating and urban skating back when they released. For the first time in a history, a hardboot has been equipped with innovative Trinity frame mounting, drastically changing the skating experience. This three point mounting has allowed engineers to lower the center of gravity in a way which was simply not possible with standard 165mm mounting and make skate as a whole more rigid. Thanks to these qualities, Next give you a superior control and energy transfer, on levels which up to this point were simply not possible to achieve with plastic composite boots.

Powerslide took great care in making the Next boot as customizable as possible, allowing you to adjust it to your anatomy and preferences. High laced boot (hockey-style) with two buckles holds your feet firmly in place. Cuff is equipped with canting system allowing for four different positions, which can be used to counter unwanted bending of your ankles to the sides, or simply give more or less ankle movement freedom depending on the height. Moreover, both cuff and the shell can be cut along factory made marking lines, to give skate more flexibility for those who prefer it. Front part of the shell is protected by a replaceable plastic strip which covers not only the sides of the skates, like traditional sliders, but also the tip.

Inside the shell you will find a MyFit Recall Dual Fit liner, one of the top models in MyFit range. The Recall padding adjusts to your anatomy in body temperature, shortening break-in period. Furthermore, the liner can be heat-molded in 80 Celsius degrees for achieving even better fit. Liner can be laced in the upper part, which is a welcome feature for people who like to ride their skates with cuffs done a bit loose – you can secure the tongue of the liner in place, which will not only prevent any abrasions, but also make the upper part of the liner less prone to wear.

Next 80 Black core are made for skaters who prefer a “classic” 4x80 mm wheel setup. However, Powerslide put a little spin on this formula – the Next are freeskates, belonging on the streets at heart and they’ve been tuned to perform best in there. This is why the usual 243 mm long frame is used in sizes up to and including EU42-43. Bigger sizes have a 275 mm long frame to ensure that enough stability is provided while cruising the streets. This makes these a better pick for big-footed users out there then other models that come without similar feature. Furthermore, the 275 mm version of the frame can fit up to 90 mm wheels! A nice bonus for upgrade in the future, as all sizes come with 80’s out of the box. One of the rare instances in skating where having bigger feet actually pays off.

What makes Next 80 unique among its triskating siblings? Well, the 4x80 mm setup is hugely popular for a reason. Not that long ago, there were times when you would have a hard time to find freeskates not coming with this wheel setup. Among four wheeled skates, it’s the most versatile of setups – a great compromise between speed, agility, low centre of gravity and weight. Millions of skaters still hold it as their “go for” setup for urban skating, slides and even freestyle slalom. Well, on a subject of slalom – if you are one of people who will get a 275 mm frame with your skates, it may be a bit problematic due to length, but everything comes with a price – Next are intended to be a beast of urban skate and Powerslide made a call to focus on that, with stability coming ahead of ability to skate between cones. The 4x80 mm version is also a great point of start for newcomers, being easy to handle and learn on. Of course, seeing that skates accept all Trinity compatible frames, it’s possible to swap undercarriage for something different in the future.

Four 80 mm Spinner wheels give this skate a dynamic character and thanks to Super High Rebound urethane compound rolling on them is a breeze. These wheels will held up well in demanding urban environment and during jumps and slides. Four wheels down result in very good agility but also nice level of grip. ABEC9 Wicked bearings complete the package.

Next is a true revolution in category of hardboots made for urban skating – it is a perfect skate for demanding users who value customization options, but thanks to low setup height and outstanding level of comfort, newcomers to urban skating love it too. One of Powerslide’s best, without a shadow of doubt.
