This is the opinion of Davide Tacchini,the president of IIDA (internetional inline downhill association) about your frame,post in the www.italianskating.com forum (new tecnologies-tecnologie a confronto, in italian)

"Mi dispiace essere sempre un po' distruttivo..ma, da quel poco che c'è mscritto sul forum Bont indicato nel Link, mi pare un'idea che difficilmente avrà sviluppi di applicazione pratuica, men che meno agonistica.

Bisogna però considerare che fino a quando gli americani continueranno a chiamare gare di downhill dei rettilinei di.5 o al max .6 miglia al 5-9% di pedenza in cui buttarsi come pecore in quattro o cinque alla volta, anche un carrello a 18 ruote potrebbe andare bene.

Viene chiaramente indicato come l'obiettivo di questo prodotto sia higher top end speed, per cui, anche se il pattino non curva, pesa come un'incudine e per montare il frame sulla scarpa bisogna trasformare quest'ultima in un gruviera, poco importa..

ciaaaaaaaaaao
Davide "

Translate from italian into english..."I'm sorry to be always a bit negative..but, from those little that
there is writen on the forum Bont indicated in the Link, an idea
seems to me that difficultly it will have developments of practice
application, neither for professional skaters. It must consider that
until when the Americans continue to call downhill some
rectilinear ones of 5 or 6 t miles to the 5-9% steep in
which throwing itself like sheep in four or five to the time, also a frame of 18 wheels could go well. It is written that
the objective of this product is higher top end speed,
for which, even if the skate doesn't turn , it weight like a anvil and in order
to mount the frame on the shoe you must transform this last one in a
gruviera chees, desn't matter.Bye Davide"



So,dear Bont,thanks for your effort in studyng speed skating,but after spent my money I wait to see some athlets go on podium with your frame....

For Rainis69: What is your best time in skating marathons?Do you really believe that 88mm is the best combination possible?Good for you because it is clear for everybody that 4x100 is the best.Also Botero in 2004 (when he was in Bont international)use 4x100 (Belotti frame)in ST Moritz,and during 2004 Bont international use 5x88 but in 2005 choose 4x100....that was introduced by FILA...these are not opinion but fact.
