Comments on: One : Q & A with Dustin Latimer (video) http://www.rollernews.com/one-q-a-with-dustin-latimer-video_3959.html All the latest inline aggressive roller news Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:36:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: jpjedi http://www.rollernews.com/one-q-a-with-dustin-latimer-video_3959.html#comment-99305 jpjedi Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:00:29 +0000 http://www.rollernews.com/one-q-a-with-dustin-latimer-video_3959.html#comment-99305 SALOMON raped them, not powerslide ! Powerslide bought from salomon after all this problems. I do think powerslide should bring DL and all the involveds into the "new xsjado" project. But it´s really stupid to thing that powerslide is the one who fucked them. As I said in the previous comment, POWERSLIDE is the one who´s keeping xsjado SKATES alive. If not, salomon would "die" and them you all woudn´t even think about hating powerslide. We should ALWAYS thanks powerslide for what they did and do for rolling. Even DL should, because I DO REMEMBER WHEN UpSideDown cam out and what happened to the skaters (dustin, champion, julio, etc) back then. So, unimmformed kids, SHUT THE FUCK UP and start reading between the lines. SALOMON raped them, not powerslide !

Taken straight from the Be Mag messageboards: "powerslide is going to do them right.. thats why production is taking so much time. no worries, its gonna be a good skate...maybe not identical plastics, but a good skate nonetheless. and for those of you hating of powerslide, they are a good company, owned by an old rollerblader named matthias....I would have skated for them forever, but I just had to try my own thing.. shane is working with them as creative director so the marketing and image stays the same...... along with as similar of a product as possible... until of course they are to make new molds and such......which could be awesome with a new soulplate design which would completely change the grinding characteristics of the skate, but not compromise the comfort and feel." That post by Dustin Latimer in the be-mag messageboards debunks my theory that Nimh worked with him to release videos and instigate an uprising to make rollerbladers aware that they should buy "skater-owned" products. Oh well, let's hope Powerslide changes that shitty manufacturer they have in China and get those Farmer 2 boots out as soon as possible. Lol. Taken straight from the Be Mag messageboards:

I just want to know which company didn't compensate DL and Shane well. If its Powerslide then I've lost all my fucking respect for them and I won't buy a freaking product from The Conference EVER again. If its Salomon then jesus fucking christ its a good thing they quit the inline business before I strapped C4 explosives on their main office. Hell, Dustin Latimer should make another video explaining the internal events of Xsjado in full detail from the day it was started to the day he retired and left. Its the only way we can clear this mess and make me decide whether I should praise or punch the next asshole I see with Xsjado skates on. ^^^^ What??!!

Now they were raped (DL and Shane) because X company did not create or help with the idea of xsjado so why should they give the creators less money...I just think thats fucked up. I own my own business so I do know why they did what they did on both sides but that is still fucked up! But I know I will stick with the Nimhs and GC etc. Boycott whoever did not compensate DL and Shane! that is fuckedup

Powerslide was the one who didn´t let xsjado die, because salomon was quitting inline skating. Simple as that. Powerslide is the company that support us all the way, since usd was created. If we had only remz and razors in the world, they woudn´t have fitness and speed and hockey skates to sell, and we all know where freestyle rolling came from. Street-only brands are beatifull, but we need more money in he industry to make it flow. So, don´t put your hate on powerslide, because they were the ones who pushed he product´s limits for a long time, improving our rolling experience I really don´t think he´s talking about Powerslide.

Jon Julio doesn't own Valo. Their main office is Roces in Montebelluna, Italy. ROCES. Kudos to Roces for supporting the industry though. No corporate fuck would want to pour funds into 3 team skate videos, a huge team of riders, daily website updates, and other stuff that needs money. Nope. Jon Julio doesn’t own Valo.

Valo is really a division of roces creatively and fully ran by julio. You always have to give props to julio and anything he supports brcause you know when he gets a chance hell make a %100 owned co. im sorry he doesnt own all of it, and im not sure what if any part he owns in it.

Salomon is the one who screwed Dustin and Shane by not giving them proper deal from the get go. Powerslide actually kept the company and xsjado product alive by buying it from salomon who OWNED it, and we all know decided to abandon the inline industry completely. FUCK SALOMON. EVERYBODY, PLEASE, PLEASE, ONLY BUY SKATER OWNED, ITS THE ONLY WAY WE(skaters & skating) WILL GROW! oh yeah, boycott Salomon, Not xsjado/powerslide.

Cause they both left xsjado frames for ground control which is another rattail company. 4x4, vicious, ground control, and nimh are all the same company really. do you think there is a pro skater struggle between the powerslide guys and the rat tail guys over whether or no farmer and stockwell we ALSO switch skate companies and ride for NIMH instead of xsjado.

They made the most ergonomic boot ever which was based on their ski boots, too bad they used plastic that was too soft and slid like shit. Salomon skates were just as “revolutionary” as the xsjado.

HUGE MISTAKE! They trusted big business. Then big business fucked them by selling out to powerslide. This kind of thing happens every day, this day it happened to a rollerblader.
