Looking to get my old Stockwell xsjado's out again but i totally hate the souls on them. They are a size large and stick like hell sometimes. There was a guy at the my local skate park who said he makes his own souls for some of his skates with some self lubricating placstic? I dnt know if its the UHMW or whatever its called? Anyone know a good plastic i can use to mod my xsjado souls? Thanks.
Wax doesn't seem to make alot of difference. Plus at skate parks u can't wax up rails sometimes. I've known a few people to have problems with xsjado souls grinding.
Owww very good. Cheers for that. I hope i can get some? I've got a friend who can use the tools at his work to cut them for me?
Man, they sell it on amazon in the USA http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene-Length/dp/B000ILLNKC
If you search really hard and get lucky, you might be able to get your hands on some NIGHT UHMW souls for Xsjado's. But they're very rare and UHMW is quite slow on rails/metal. As for making your Xsjado souls faster, you could 'clean' them by skating a very rough curb for several minnutes, or use a drill to make some countersink holes in the plate (like the Razors cult have). It makes them a bit faster.
six one six (formerly night) have just released razors Sl soul inserts and I have heard they are interested in machining xsjado uhmw souls with the dimples for catching wax. The guy you'd want to talk to and find out if their being released..... is detroit's bald legand Al Dolega. The company, along with night is under the umbrella of intergrated distribution..
