Kyle G. gives you a quick rundown of the Valo Light BS.1 in this staff review and promo edit put together by Aggressive Mall.
Kyle normally rides a size 11-12 skate and was able to size down to the Valo Light in a size 10 with an 11 Trust Spec Ops liner. An exact quote from him on the set up “I love them, just don’t use the wrong hardware.”
Skating at 1:53. Song: ZZ Top – La Grange.

Introducing the Valo JJ Light by Jon Julio: all new carbon fiber shell, 1/2 Kilo Lighter, 5 mm wider and longer, open toe shell, all new 2 piece soul system, all new upgraded valo light liner.
We got some Valo Lights a while before their release to see just what was up with arguably the most anticipated skate release in skating history.

For the first time a Valo skate has sold out before manufacturing his finished production.
What does this mean? What has happened is before mass production was completed, skates shops and distributors purchased all of the Valo JJ Lights before completion.
Can I still pre-order the JJ Lights? Yes you can! Through your favorite skate shop you can! Pre-order your pair before it’s too late! Thank you to all whom made this possible.

Jon Julio pulled time out of his busy Valo schedule to answer some followup questions I had regarding the new Valo Lights that are scheduled to be released June 2011.
The rumors about the Valo light were flooding the Internet for a while. How long have you been working on the Valo light design before you released the final product?
Jon Julio: Hmm design wise.. at least 2 years.. maybe more..
Since the 1st preview at the 2011 winterclash , How has the rollerblading community responded to the idea and concept of the Valo Lights?
Jon Julio: I felt like it went really really good.. Def stoked to get the response that we did especially from kids who don’t ride valos.
Now that Valo has ventured into the carbon fiber market, do you feel the Valo lights will receive the same amount of support from the Valo masses as the original shell?
Jon Julio: Advantages of wider and lighter shell will help in a big way. Also having our original parts compatible with all the new Valo Light Parts will help recycle old styles with the new… We will see in June on the reaction! But so far so good. [...]
Check out the Q&A and photos regarding the Lights on Yourdailyjuice.
1. Will the Valo Lights be available for sale at either Winterclash or BCSD?
We will only be debuting the skate for show. They will be available for sale at your favorite skate shop internationally and USA this spring.
At Winterclash we won’t be selling “other” Valo skates, but at BCSD we will be selling “other” Valo Skates. We will also have some limited edition items available for either giveaway and/or for sale. Come check us out at our booths!
2. What makes the Valo Light different from any other Valo? Will it be lighter? Is it made out of carbon? Will it have a new shape? Is the shell shape different than the current shell? Also will they be pre toe-cut?
The Valo Light will have a new carbon shell with an all-new shape. The Valo Light is 1.1 lbs (half a kilo) lighter than the original Valo Skate.
The Valo Light is now proven to accommodate a wider and longer foot. The new shell interior is 5 mm wider and 5 mm longer in length.
Through the 1.5 – 2 years of testing, Alex Broskow, Erik Bailey, Jon Julio and Brandon Smith have all had to down size from a size 8 (US) skate to a size 7 (US) skate due to the amount new found space available in the new shells.
We look forward to solving problems for people who may have wanted to ride Valo skates but have had a sizing problem and/or weight problems for Valo skates.
3. So I rock a size 10 T.V.2. I can also skate size 9 toe cuts. You think I’d be able to fit a 9 Light (no toe cut)? Let me know guys…
