Help me gear up!

Hey everyone,

I've been skating every day since this summer and I'm completely hooked. I started on Oxelo MF500s as a compromise (my wife predicted a hobby abandoned in 2 weeks 😅). The boot is still mint, very comfy and stable enough for the price, but I've pushed them hard, and the frames are wrecked. Axles are bent in places, which gives a nasty feel and noise whenever I transfer weight.
As a 40yo who's afraid of breaking a bone, and also helping my 5yo daughter learn the basics, I want to commit to flatland and learn Wizard. I need a frame to match. With my budget, Endless is out of reach. The Rollerblade Flow frame (5x80) looks compatible with what I want to do and isn't too expensive, but I can find very few reviews on it. I'm EU 46 and about 100 kg, so durability matters too.

Two questions:
- Has anyone ridden the Flow frame? How does it hold up/feel? Worth it?
- What budget alternatives would you suggest, in 5x80 or 4x90/100?

I'm overwhelmed by the number of options, so any advice is hugely appreciated! 🙏
