Farmer is good: Radius section

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

I never get sick of watching Chris Farmer skate. From his Mindgame days, to his transformation into the Xsjado days (whatever that means) his skating has always been top notch, stylish, creative, tech and cutting edge and most definitely definitely trend setting. I’ve been watching and negatives as of late have just been getting more and more popular, because of who? That’s right, Farmer. Only because he can make them look good.

Bail of da week #40!

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Collisions are inevitable at skate parks, even when you are trying your best to be on the look out, odds are some one else isn’t…and I can’t hardly believe it’s been 40 weeks since I started doing this, sigh.

In Motion Series 1

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Here is a video deal that Casey B. (amall team rider) and friends have been working (or was working I should say). This is basically a NorCal + edit. I say + because we’re in NorCal, but they are a little more NorCal than we are if you know what I mean, being way up in Sacramento. Funny thing is I remember Shawn(Oberg) coming in here in the summer telling me about it. I guess I was out of the loop because Casey evidently uploaded this 5 months ago. Well… See for yourself. Sections on Casey Bagozzi, Sean Keane, Shawn Oberg, Sapata, Trevor Tylosky and more.

Valo Broskow Boot Video View

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

KG dropped this Valo Alex Broskow boot video view (scroll down) this morning for everyone’s enjoyment. I know most of the sizes except the bigger ones are currently sold out but Valo is expecting to have more available in March or April.

Luckily I already picked up my pair of Broskows and I have to say that I really like them… they look awesome (Blue skates and Zebra pattern yeah!), the souls are nice and big and slide well and the liners are simple and to the point (the way I like liners) without a bunch of extra straps, laces and velcro to mess with.

So save up, mow some lawns, beg, borrow, get a job or whatever else you can do to get cash so that you can cop a pair within a couple months if your size is currently sold out.

Pushing Skate Weight

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Yesterday Party Time Dre weighed almost all of the skate set ups we offer (complete, pro, boot only etc.) and this morning I just added the weights to the skate descriptions under features for those bladers out there concerned with skate weight. We have a few highlights listed below but please keep in mind that we only weighed all of our readily available skate set ups and not any custom ones:

(All weights based on a single size 9 skate)

Lightest Boot:
Roces Majestic 12 Boot: 2 lbs. 4 oz.
K2 Fatty Pro Boot: 2 lbs. 4 oz.

Lightest Stock Skate (Manufacturer’s Set Up):

K2 Fatty Pro Complete: 3 lbs. 8 oz.

Lightest Set Up (By Aggressivemall):

Roces Majestic 12 Pro (w/ Kizer Fluid 3 Frames): 3 lbs. 6 oz.
Roces Majestic 12 Pro (GC Featherlite Set Up): 3 lbs. 6 oz.
K2 Fatty Pro Team (GC Featherlite Set Up): 3 lbs. 6 oz.

Heaviest Boot:

USD Dominic Sagona Boot: 3 lbs. 10 oz.

Heaviest Stock Skate (Manufacturer’s Set Up):
USD Dominic Sagona Pro Skate: 4 lbs. 14 oz.

Lightest Valo Boot:
Valo Alex Broskow Boot: 3 lbs.

Lightest Xsjado Boot:
Xsjado Damien Wilson Boot: 3 lbs.

As you can see, part of the reason why the classic Majestic 12 UFS skate and the classic K2 Fatty Pro UFS skate still remain popular after all of these years is because they continue to be the lightest stock skates currently available (Deshi does have the Carbon coming to shake things up…) with their simple old school designs.

Please note that a light skate does not necessarily mean it is “better” than other skates and a heavier skate does not mean it is “worse”. As we have observed from pro rollerbladers over the years, they can pretty much skate any skate out there and still make it look effortless.
