Revival – Vidcast 54 – Deshi Carboncast
So there has been a LOT of hype over the new Deshi Carbon skates. So much in fact that I had to try some out for myself.
While doing so myself and Harry Reavley decided to film my first afternoon on the skates to give you an idea of how they roll. I could have happily rambled on in nerdy fashion about small details but instead we decided to make it more fun to watch and let the action do most of the talking.
Big shout out to Harry for coming up with a top level edit and getting it done in a day even if it took me a week to get it on the net! [...]

Too much money for only piece of plastic

That was a really good review, more like that please.
Too many people are saying that the Carbons are too much money. This is a premium product, in the same way that there are entry-level products. Deshi/Powerslide will have done their homework on the cost and the pricing, and they believe there’s a market for a really high-end aggressive skate.
If you don’t want to pay for lightweight carbon-fibre technology, then there are plenty of skates that may be more in your price range.
I’m looking forward to trying the Carbons, because if they’re as good then everyone says they are, then I’d be willing to pay more than usual.

Man that was such a professional showcase. Did Harry Reavley get any commission for that? If not Oli Bennett should hook his ass up!

They’re the best skates ever (have owned all brands!). They cost exactly as much as most other brands (in the EU)! So stop with the BS, sure in the US they’re 350$, but thats probarbly becuase of customs or the exchange rate… We have gotten that with all american based products for years!

Pity they didn’t hit a gap.
Ledges and rails. Nothing else.
No park, no gaps.
Bah, rolling is so bland these days.
Won’t be purchasing them until I hear how they are after 6-12 months (no offence Deshi, but past skates haven’t stood the time test) and see them used on gaps.
I try to keep a skate for 18months plus, so I’m picky.
Sick review, just wish a wider variety of terrain was covered.
