Powerslide Imperial Megacruiser 125: problems?

Question

Hey everyone. I am considering buying Powerslide Imperial Megacruiser 125's (I love the bright yellow or orange ones), but I am a little hesitant since I occasionally see people complaining about the liners/general comfort, as well as the durability of the frames.

I fell in love with the look of these skates the moment I saw them -- to me, they are the sexiest skates out there. I love the look of the boots AND the frame. The bright colors are perfect. So, I am really hoping there aren't serious problems with the comfort/durability.

  1. I have read that the Fat Boy liners are "shit". However, according to the Powerslide website, the three Imperial Megacruiser colors come with three different liners:

Yellow: MyFit Fat Boy Medium

Orange: MyFit Recall Dual Fit

Pink: MyFit Fat Boy Dual Fit

  • How are these liners? Any serious complaints?

  • Are there any significant differences between the liners in the three different models?

  • Is it possible to purchase different liners and wear them in this shell?

  1. I have read that the Imperial Megacruisers (non-PRO) come with frames that are not very durable (PS Unity one piece 255mm AL). People have reported bending the frames from sliding and jumping off curbs. While I don't plan on getting huge air and landing hard on my skates, I want them to be durable enough to handle day to day sliding, curbs, etc.
  • How are these frames? Are they as vulnerable to bending/breaking as I sometimes read?

  • How are the Imperial Megacruiser PRO frames (PS XXX 260mm AL)?

  • Should I simply put PRO frames on non-PRO boots if I want the neon colors with better frames?

  1. If the liners are really that bad, I'm thinking I could order the Seba FR1 boot and use the Powerslide 125 frame (either non-PRO or PRO, depending on the answer to Question #2). Is this possible?

  2. Any other advice? I'm new to the world of skate parts/customization, but I'm trying to learn as much as possible!

Thanks!
