Xsjado Pioneer Skates
Saturday, March 13th, 2010
The XSJADO Pioneer skates are coming with XSJADO Mook Frame, ABEC 7 bearings and XSAJDO Team Wheels in 55mm/90A. The Pioneer skates come with new Footwraps with thinner innersole to give you better skate feeling.
The Soulframes and Soulplates are removeable, of course. Instead of innerboots (liners) all XSJADO Skates have regular shoes (Footwraps) inside. With these shoes you can walk and skate. Just slip into the XSJADO Boot when you like to skate. The straps and buckles give you a perfect fitting and a good skatefeeling. The new grey Ben Schwab 09 Footwraps have an ageless style, so you can also wear them when you are not skating.
Because of the shockabsorbers (under the footwraps) you will not have any problems with hard “touchdowns”.

Thanks Arturo S.

Thursday, March 11th, 2010China: Counterfeits & Tornado DK1 Skates
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010I posted about the Moon Frames (photo below) in 2006. 4 years later the frames (Xsjado Counterfeits) are still sold in China. I have no idea about their technologic improvements (i don’t speak chinese), but they updated their package graphics (which is no more a rip of the Quality Dvd Cover, by Dustin Latimer & JB Snyder).

Other surprising news: there is a new skating brand in China, which released the Tornado DK1 Skates (photo below) ; a setup is also availiable with the Moon Frames (DK One Moon).

Thanks Mike.

Thursday, March 4th, 2010Remz Chris Haffey Signature 2.0
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Chris Haffey introducing his new Signature skate, the ChrisHaffey2.0 by Remz.
Filmed with Connor O’Brien & Brandon Negrette ; Chopped by Chris Haffey.

After 3 years of testing and developement Remz presents its latest masterpiece, the brand New ChrisHaffey Signature 2.0.
The skate was entirely rethought by Chris Haffey who personally put a multitude of samples through the test to meet his high expectations.Style-wise Chris takes it back to the days when he began riding Remz. The skate features the classic color scheme reminiscent of the first Remedy, a fresh low cut skin, a redesigned rear lacing system, and strong hockey laces giving the skate a distinctive and athletic look. “When you’re rocking these they look like mid-top shoes, looks super sick!” says Chris.
Technically speaking the Haffey2.0 introduces Remz’ new concept of High Resilience (HR) skin giving optimum control & foot support, as well as a redesigned Remz liner offering an even more precise & accurate all around fit with a new ergonomic insole & a softer shock absorber. “It sucks your foot in there and keeps it right where it needs to be so you’re in complete control at all times”.
The ChrisHaffey 2.0 features Chris’ own V-cut + strap setup, with the optional buckle included in the box, GC FTL2 frames and new Chris Haffey 4×4 wheels.
As a reflection of Chris, The Remz Chris Haffey Signature skate blends superior technique and progressive style. Freedom-of-feet approved.

Features:
- New low-cut design by Chris Haffey
- New HR ‘High Resilience’ skin concept
- New high-end redesigned Remz liner
- Chris Haffey original freedom-of-feet setup
