Many people asked me to upload a new edit so I checked on my computer and my hard drives and found many unused clips to make this little video, hope you guys enjoy it. – Adrien Anne (via).
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.
USD Phoenix FL Liner (89,95 euros)
USD Phoenix Liner (59,95 euros)
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 Carbon 2 skate from USD continues to blow up all over the scene as aggressive’s most advanced and best performing skate. The highest of high quality materials also converted the Carbon 2 into the market’s most exclusive boot due to its price.
At USD we decided to develop a new compound that would mimic the Carbon feel at a lower price, allowing more skaters to enjoy the Carbon revolution.
The Carbon Free boot has been designed with a combination of Carbon, Fibreglass and Nylon which has allowed us to create the closest feel to Carbon while enabling us to lower the price and make it available for more people to enjoy this new feeling that everyone is talking about.
The Carbon Free Richie Eisler skate – tried and tested by the man himself – comes with US Poured UC Pro wheels (often considered the world’s best wheels) and the brand new Kizer 4 Fluid frame, making it by far one of the best quality pro boot setups ever released on the aggressive market.
The VII was originally created as a price-point skate, but after it was drastically improved both in comfort, hardwear and looks skaters on the team began to take an interest.
This skate can battle any skate on the market. The USD Diamond liners are high quality and exceedingly comfortable, and the cuff and boot combination is a perfect balance between support and flexibility.
The new soulplate is a variation of the enormously popular Carbon soulplate with a brand new wide-groove.
The skate really can be considered one of the most comfortable and accomodating skates on the market with a full lightweight soulplate to compliment the boot as well as a lowered heel for better anti-shock and the brand new Kizer Type-M II frame available for the first time.
Ideal for beginners, due to its great price, but also great for experts thanks to its hi-spec features. Weight of 1 skate in size 42 = 1,90 kg.

So you have some of the best performing skates ever produced, but you want to adjust them to your feet for an even closer fit? Here’s how to do it!
Important: Please be careful when handling the oven and heated skates. Use protective gloves where possible and carry out procedure under the supervision of an adult.
Jrgantan from the RN Forums reviewed the Usd VII 2011:
I know a lot of people are asking about how these things skate, so I’ll try to answer a lot of questions in this review.
First of all, a lot of the curiosity is about the soulplate. Just like you can see from the pictures / videos, the soulplate is huge (bigger than the carbon plate), and has an amazing shape, especially it’s groove. Before buying the vii, I was afraid the groove was too deep (like the 2-piece plate for UFS Thrones), making royale to ao topside tricks a little less fluid.
USD adressed this, and made the groove wide and shallow, like the Deshi soulplate. This makes switch-ups, pretty easy, but doesn’t take away from locking you in. Unfortunately, although the vii plate resembles the carbon plate, it feels like it is made from a softer, slower plastic. That’s right, they are slower than I thought they would be, considering the carbon plates are pretty fast. If this is a deal-breaker for you, you might want to consider skating them with a carbon plate, though I don’t know the sizing compatibility.
Second, the shell itself, imo, is the reason to get this skate. I have med to low arches on my foot, so many skates I’ve tried hurt my feet. I combined the vii with Blank liners and Superfeet insoles, and I have never had a more comfortable skate, ever! This shell is very accommodating, so I especially recommend this to people with wide feet.
If you have a mid to narrow foot, get a liner that fits (I highly recommend blank liners), because your foot will have too much room with the thin stock liner. Or, you can downsize. The instep also flexes well, so there are no pressure points at all. Yet, with the flex, the shell is still solid and very lightweight. [...]
