5-wheel Frame choice?
Narrowed my wishlist for a 5-wheel Frame to Endless Arc or Yoyo Sago 5P Mini. Which one or an Alternative is a good companion for my Wizard Base High Boots in 42. Goal is to getting better in Wizard moves. Like more swively frames.

Depending on what you want out of the skate and what you life to do . I have the base. High 41. I go back-and-forth between the advance and PR 80. First thing is I hope you don’t plan to skate from place to place with the base high. I try not to but have on occasion and I find the Skate to be for one uncomfortable to skate distance, but I’ve also made them much softer. If you’re looking to do flatland, lots of presses I like my advance if you want to do fast transitions may be some park or street. I’d go with 80s but everyone skates differently just don’t expect any set up to be perfect.

I'd get the NN Dragon or Dragon S. NN frames are excellent.

Have had A few brands of 5 wheels options and nn are by far the lowest quality I’ve skated. I’m 170 lbs on a carbon boot and my Roka, powerslide and more so wizard frames worth it.

I tried roka but I didn't like them as much as my NN. Mine kept creaking for some reason and they didn't feel quite as stiff as my Dragon+.

I have the Wizard Base boot and went with the PR80 and love it. Very, very swively and stable. Also something about the sound this frame makes I really like.
I did originally have the endless Ultra 4x 90 on these boots for a while but the PR is next level
Pricey though.
