I break that down a bit in my blog post, but essentially the 360 will be more reactive. If you skate fast, and control is important (for bombing hills for example) go with the standard. If you do more rhythm style skating or like spinning, the 360 will give you extra flexibility.
Thank youuu for the boot comparison! For a layperson this is v helpful. How are you finding the weight on the glide vs magic? I noticed the glide is marketed as their "lightweight" boot and I am curious how much weight you can really save there x
I have one more question sorry...(wanna buy and GH have not been responsive!) is the kingpin angle the same for the aluminium v plastic plates? It looks like it maybe smaller (10?) on the plastic x
The plates aren't quite as dialed-in as a rolline and the boot is more comparable to an Edea than a Harlick... Edea style minus the super engineered materials. Overall I'd say they are great skates for the price, but top-of-the line is top-of-the-line. I'd say these are mid-quality of a high performance boot. So, for instance, in my Golden Horse Maestro-C, I feel totally comfortable doing my triple jumps, but does the lining mold to my feet like an Edea would? no. Can the boots take the same beating an Edea or harick could? Not sure... time will tell. I've had the skates for a while now, and I can say I do wear my Meastro-C's the most of all my skates.
The maestro ones are basically a copy of some Edea ones but these ones are made in Italy maybe better for serious artistic figure skating and there's a great variety of models from basic to professional skating
The plastic trucks are a dealbreaker on any skate for me. Whenever I’m on my edges the plastic trucks bend and hit the bottom of the boot either stopping me completely or slowing me down
Will you explain the 3?
60.
Pivot pin
I’m looking at these too but I want to know the difference between the standard and the 360 pivot. Thanks

The Glide and Magic feel about the same to me when it comes to weight. All three are actually pretty light.

Good question! The vanguard kingpin is at a 16 degree angle and the fiber compound frame kingpin is at a 6 degree angle.
When i Dm'ed them they left me on read lol. But when i emailed them they responded pretty quickly.
Thanks for the information!!!
And I wear these indoors as long as I have the correct wheels?
How do these compare to a more expensive boot and plate setup like harlic boot with something like a rolline plate like the dance or energy??

What's the difference between a 8mm and 7mm wheel axle?
If you have 7mm axels you need 7mm bearings in your wheels. American skates usually have 8mm axels, whereas European brands like Edea have 7mm axels.
How do you request the street glide skates?
I think you can e-mail them.
The maestro ones are basically a copy of some Edea ones but these ones are made in Italy maybe better for serious artistic figure skating and there's a great variety of models from basic to professional skating
Yeah, I'd say these are Mid-level high-performance skates. Great for the price. Edea is high-end high-performance.
The plastic trucks are a dealbreaker on any skate for me. Whenever I’m on my edges the plastic trucks bend and hit the bottom of the boot either stopping me completely or slowing me down
you look hapa... race wise.. good content
Omg you are so beautiful
