graf g5 vs 705 which would you get

[anteck7 0]

Hello,

Ima fairly new skater, and I'm looking at either a graf 705 or a g5. I can get them both for the same cost. The 705 is localn and I've had a chance to try it on. The other would be an online order.

I'm mainly worried about durability and longevity.

I also haven't had a chance to fit G5s and the local shops are pretty much in the we can order but you must purchase mode.

Which dkate do you think would be better?

I'm around 220 pounds

If durability and longevity are your selling points I would go with the 705.

Do you think there would be a large difference in durabikity? I play 2 or 3 times a week and want them to last at least 3 years

A friend of mine's G5s are falling apart after a year of playing 2-3 times a week. I've heard similar complaints from other players.

It seems that there is a direct negative correlation, with most skate brands, between the use of materials to achieve a lighter skate, and the durability of the skate.

You may sacrafice weight, and likely some performance, but it seems that the older models hold up so much better.

By falling apart how long did they last?

Are they the Ultra G5 or the older Supra G5's

If they are the ultra's I would go with the them. If its the older g5 i would go with the 705
