Here’s a sneak peak at the new SWS UHMW Remz souls. Currently undergoing testing, these along with a number of other new products from Sixwonsix will be available this holiday season.

This is my attempt of a comparison between the Usd carbon II and the Usd carbon free. Im not going to state much facts but talk about my personal opinion and experience.
Yours obviously might differ but this might help you if youre considering buying a carbon II or an carbon free.
We are extremely proud to announce the release of these exciting new USD liners.
We designed the Phoenix liners to be slim, narrow and comfortable, allowing for maximum control and comfort and also leaving plenty of room on the outside of the liner to accomodate narrow and small fitting skates.
The Phoenix Liner from USD comes with the option of a standard lacing system or an Atop lacing system. The Atop system works simply and effectively to keep your feet held tightly and comfortably inside the liner with 0 heel lift or abrasion, allowing for a long life to the liner as well as enhanced security at all times.

Coming up: USD Phoenix Liners: Where function, comfort and quality open new doors in the liner market.
In our yearly board meeting with our big cat investors and the guys from the stock exchange we made some huge corporate decisions and a conclusion was made – USD would now have to take over the liner industry.

Phoenix liners: Better performance liners
The idea was to make something functional, comfortable and simple. Below you can find just some of the great developments we have worked on to make this the best liner available in rolling.
USD has been speeding ahead of the pack when it comes to evolution and technology and these liners follow this path. Not only does USD provide the most advanced boots in skating, but it now also is about to drop the industries most advanced and functional liner.

The Kizer Type M frame has always been one of Kizer’s most popular frames and continues to command many die hard fans. Already known as a strong, fast sliding and lightweight frame Kizer decided to analyze the frame deeper to make further improvements.
The 2011 Type M frame from Kizer includes an upgraded H-block, a design enhancement that allows the skater to bypass the need to make a groove after buying the frame and ensuring maximum comfort and stability on the grind right from the first day. In effect, the Type M frame from Kizer is now perfect right out of the box.
The Kizer Type M frame is ideal for all purpose freestyle skating. It eliminates any risk of sticking on wheels on the grind and is one of the strongest frames on the market. These elements enhance the skaters confidence at all times. One side of the frame offers elevated grind-walls for longer life and minimum friction, while the other side allows for more soul space and flat surface grinding. The H-block of the Type M frame is replaceable.
The Type M is light, simple yet intelligent, fast, pre-grooved, strong and easily customisable – What more could the demanding skater ask for?
