where are those rzrs haers, that scream for innovation…
somebody has forgotten usd in the late 90s (and this is not meant in a good way ;) )..
They may lack innovation but it’s called a Cassic Throne for a reason. Either way, it’s a clean set-up. As usual, USD really needs to stop printing “classic” on the tumor plate. It looks tacky.
@ Fuck You – It’s unfortunate for me that we have the internet between us and truly fortunate for you that we do. That fact that I’m generally one of the most eloquent on this forum is a clear indication of the chip on your shoulder concerning your mental midgetry.
I’m glad USD are still making both types of Thrones. You may say “old”, but they work perfectly well without the need to change. It would be like trying to re-invent the bicycle – there is no need.
@ Venom – Agreed. This design is not only tried and true, but also still sexy. Those lines around the toe box are just as emotive to me today as they were in the late 90′s and perhaps an odd caparison, but is actually reminiscent of the BMW 3series of today with their sharp crease lines (not sure what to call them) around the head lamps down the side of the car to the tail lamps. All the other hard boots on the market have very bulbous and dopey looking design… especially Razors.
On the Coup De Tat anniversary Thrones still, 3 years later. Had to change soul and buckles a couple of times, but that’s it.
The tiniest bits of constructive critique I’d give on the skate would be;
1. The printing of “Classic” on the tumour plate of the newer models. Not a fan.
2. The hardware. Replacing the soul kits on these bad boys or even tightening the souls can be a nightmare without the proper tools.
If they could make the hardware for the soul kits with Allen key holes rather than screw holes, they’d be fucking dynamite.
Also, the frame bolts in Classics come loose way easier than in any other skate and I’ve no idea why.
3. The gap between the soul and tumour plates. Sometimes when I miss a trick I’ll catch in there and the falls can be a bit hard to predict.
Other than that, the Classic Throne skates are basically perfect. Adore them. Supportive, immensely durable soul-kit, look damn sexy, souls slide at a high speed without feeling “icy”.
I laughed when the gentlemen above called himself eloquent but I doubt he would have called him a ‘bell end’ in real life.
Well the Feinberg’s had that barcode on em’ remember. I like the Classic printed on these. But looks aren’t everything. Go on have yourself a good time.

I meant *Classic… but I’m sure someone is going to say something about an obvious typo.
