My boyfriend it currently using Velocity 4 and still learning his Tstop and parallel turn etc.

Thanks for the post!

Both skates are great, with the main differences being the frames, wheels & bearing as you mentioned. The VO2 Max is awesome. Took it out this weekend and it is fast and comfortable.

I would go with the VO2 Max if he is comfortable on his skates. Otherwise, the Kinetic 10 is the perfect step up from the Velocity. It will be faster for him and a lot of fun. The VO2 Max may be just out of his ability at the moment, but he's only going to get better. So he can always grow into the VO2 Max if deciding to go with the higher end now.

Hope this helps !
