Marathon w/ K2 Moto 90s?

[crazylars00]

I am looking at getting either the Moto 90s or Radical 90s. I would consider myself an upper intermediate skater. My skating will be mostly recreational on streets and smaller trails, but I'd also like to do a marathon in the future. How difficult would it be to complete a marathon/training with the Motos given the shorter frame, more weight, and higher boot? Would I be better off with Radicals and just sacrifice some recreational maneuverability with the longer frames?

Thanks! I look forward to your thoughts.

The Radical would be the best skate for the marathon, and the moto 90 for the streets. You definitely could do the marathon on the Moto 90's, just as you could still skate on the street in your Radical 90's.

You'll just have to ask yourself what you'll be using them for more and go with that.

Thanks!
