Currently riding the overpriced Powershells (as much as i love them!).

 I am putting together a PS equivalent. Currently i have two front boots and the plate itself.

 Any recommendations on where or what boot to buy as my rear boot? I am not looking for a double super carbon overlaid boot but just more of a standar rear boot. I have two boots for front of varying stiffness but the rear would seem to be not as critical.

 What are you guys using/building? It has to be relatively affordable. (Can't be an animal or something like that, has to be hardshell).

 

scoke.

I just put a reflex shell on the front of my plate. The goode shell was too flimsy for me plus it was cracking a lot. It also allowed more forward flex than I want but I left the rear shell alone. Like you said it doesn't matter as much back there.

Roller Derby roller blades are a great hard shell and very inexpensive.  Check your local sporting goods store. $50.00 for a pair.  I think Bruce Butterfield buys the black Malibu GT's. Just drill out the rivits holding the skates to the boot.
