I know it's not available for another couple of months, but it looks like a pretty cool skate. :cool:

Hoping you guys can answer a few Q's about it in advance of its release:

1. Is the frame laterally adjustable? (Important for me because I pronate quite a bit.)
2. What is the closure system? There's obviously no TFS -- is it simple laces?

BTW, what is "urban" about this skate other than the molded plastic upper? It's got 90mm wheels, and it's a long-frame skate, so I can't see cruising around the city in it. . .

I assume it will be laterally adjustable, but I'm not sure yet.

It's a regular tie up lace with a powerstrap velcro up at the top.

As for the "urban" reference, you got me on that one. A bit big on the wheel size for inner-city, but if a "platinum" level skater... You can handle it :)
