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.

Apparently Itunes US is a bit buggy those days.

What happens when you let eight professional skaters inside the Marvel office? An insightful conversation about the correlation between comic book influences on the developing psyche and being an action sports athlete, of course!

Known as one of the most innovative and jaw-dropping group of skaters in the industry, the Valo crew destroys every rail, ledge or gap you put in front of them with style and super human prowess.

Fresh off a new DVD release called “Valo4Life” which reached the Top 10 list of documentaries in iTunes, Jon Julio and the Valo crew are already in the midst of creating their fifth DVD and releasing a brand new carbon-fiber skate called the Valo Light.

There is no stopping the Valo crew. Don’t believe me? Check out “Valo4Life” to see for yourself.

We sat down with inline skating legend and O.G., Jon Julio, along with Erik Bailey, Alex Broskow, Brandon Smith, Victor Arias, Ivan Narez, Dylan Davis and Justin Hertel to chat about skating, coffee blood, Wolverine sideburns and much more! [...]

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. [...]
