I fux wid dat shit yo!
October 7th, 2011 at 10:40 pm
Not sure if I want…this whole powerblading thing
October 7th, 2011 at 10:42 pm
If they come with the new powerblade frames im killing someone
October 7th, 2011 at 10:48 pm
I really like them, and holy moly, i guess that this Powerblading(even if it sound very Hollywoodistic) is a great thing, because it’s developing rollerblading…anything new is good, we can try new things, we’ll see though how long will it last:)
October 7th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
if it comes with the frame and is only around $300 then that’s a win !
If it’s $350 with no frame then that is just a fail.
October 7th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
I wonder what company besides rollerblade will push “powerblading”
And Kevin Yee and them boys were doing this stuff long times ago…
It’s cool it could be the next trend…
Like Kendama… Powerblading Carbon Free time now… haha!
October 7th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
i must be out of the loop… what the hell is powerblade??
October 8th, 2011 at 12:05 am
failblading is what is should be called.
October 8th, 2011 at 1:05 am
freestyle rolling
October 8th, 2011 at 2:13 am
Powerblading is the lamest shit ever. Stick to the real skating folks……
October 8th, 2011 at 2:34 am
yeah just leave the powerblading to the skating rink trolls
October 8th, 2011 at 2:40 am
So i was just wandering what the F*** powerblading is, so i googled it and found this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTJV57GSiyk
Im sorry, but THIS IS WHY WE GET CALLED GAY!
October 8th, 2011 at 3:14 am
No high changed from carbon 2
Same soulplates , same boot only change middle strap
October 8th, 2011 at 4:13 am
powerblading is sick do any of you trolls know how hard it is to grind with 80mm wheels or bigger eh? try it and tell me how gay it is
October 8th, 2011 at 4:55 am
ahahha the fun stuff is that powerblading is exactly like fitness blading with some tricks, in final it exactly like the guys who wered minishort, doing slalom, stair jup in methode or other gay stuff, and we laughed at some years ago. except that those skate should be nice with a kaltik freestyle frame.
October 8th, 2011 at 5:01 am
^^ so basically you think its cool? ^^
October 8th, 2011 at 5:20 am
You should do your research rather than say its gay.
Its a form of skating known as Freeskating/Freeriding/FSK.
Its very well known. Nothing new. But, very glad its getting more exposure. Glad more people are finally appreciating it. Also more availability to parts is a big plus.
Rollerblading is progressing greatly.
October 8th, 2011 at 6:09 am
skates look good all the powerblade frames would do is ruin it.
October 8th, 2011 at 7:26 am
I sometimes ride fitness frames just because the aggressive skates ride so fucking sucky. I don’t think power blades is any different then a fitness frame, you still can’t grind other then makio neg. makio.
October 8th, 2011 at 7:45 am
Looks like they have the same tightening clip on the front of the foot as the usd liners that click to tighten.
October 8th, 2011 at 8:24 am
this is not even a powerblade skate its just a new carbon 3 and looks alright. wouldn’t mind seeing more of that strap though
October 8th, 2011 at 8:36 am
It´seems to me, that what powerslide is aimong for, is to attract more non-aggressive-skaters. So they can sell higher numbers of their 350€ boots.
The skates are getting narrower and more fitness-like. I like this one but it kind of reminds me of some racing-freeskate-fitness hybrid…
sounds kinda harsh but…yeah… i don´t know
October 8th, 2011 at 8:41 am
powerblading is a good idea for several reasons: First, its fun as fuck, second, stunt rollerbladers bring a certain style, an impressive way to skate to this segment of rollerblading (which probably sells to a much wider range of people) and third: you must not like the powerblading idea, but if youre a sunt rollerblader, its just a great way to aso use your skates as a transportation medium whithout ruining your set of wheels- plus youre much faster
October 8th, 2011 at 9:53 am
I think this shit is awesome.
Its really opening new doors for blading, enabling it to be more appealing and more accessible to people who don’t know about it.
I can just see so many possibilities. Walking around all day in stylish xsjado footwraps, strapping on a pair of xsjado’s and busting out at your local spots then wrapping it up with swapping on some powerblade frames for a cruise around the city or some beach front.
October 8th, 2011 at 10:48 am
USD making a joke out of the original Deshi Carbon style blades. This is starting to get into the Razors Genesys cathegory.
October 8th, 2011 at 12:32 pm
why do you people have to justify it so much? or even criticize it? it’s all part of rollerblading so why should it be shamefull to try it out? powerblading has always been a huge part of rollerblading, this boot is making it better and more fresh.
another note too, it’s undeniably massive fun to do! if you try it out and just have a go it feel fresh and you can use your flow in more creative ways.
such narrow minded minds need to open up and just have fun, sticking to just one type/style.
the vine gang edit is a very good example of this.
October 8th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
sticking to just one type/style is probably a factor why people quit rollerblading, they quit because they don’t explore***
I remember going ice skating during a point a had a break from rolling, it gave me a fresh feeling just like powerblading does.
keep rollerblading alive.
October 8th, 2011 at 12:42 pm
also @MJ – do some more research, I’m sure you’ve seen it, and if you havn’t, watch the vine gang edit and then let me know if you still thing it’s gay, and if you so, well… my friend…I pity the fool
October 8th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Noone wants you to switch from aggressive to powerblading. This is not meant to be future of aggressive inline skating, this is future of freeskating which have been known for a long time! This will bring more grinding into freeskating world, it is in Rollernews because this is common with our type of skating. You don’t have to worry about being aggressive skater, just THINK OUT OF THE BOX. ;)
October 8th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Powerblading is new way for skating, all of you prefers small wheels?
With a 4x80mm frames you go faster, put on a UFS boots with soulplates you can put faster grinds, it’s middle way between freeskating and agressive…
The Carbon 3 will come with a liner (that’s why it’s number 3).
Price for boots in EU : 300€
Price for completes in EU : 399€
Expensive? yes, but UFS Carbon boots, on aluminium Freeskate UFS Frames, 8 wheels in 80mm and 16 bearings…
Hope, you haters, will test them and re-considerate your opinion… I’m blading every sunny days to work and i’m so happy to get a skate like that to put a trick during my travel from home to work :)
Peace!
October 8th, 2011 at 4:17 pm
What is sad is that Powerblading will make in on to TV and everyone will think skating hasn’t progressed in ages, hahahahaha
What a marketing FAIL!!!!!!!!
What a marketing FAIL!!!!!!!!
What a marketing FAIL!!!!!!!!
What a marketing FAIL!!!!!!!!
October 8th, 2011 at 4:29 pm
Ill bet you $400 these will cost over $400
October 8th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
whats that dirty ankle strap all about? looks like the rb solos and we all know they suck dick
October 8th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
@Anonymous 3 up from me -
you have no idea, whether it shows on TV or not, powerblading will not make the outside viewers think that “skating hasn’t progressed in ages”
this is no marketing fail, this is just a release of a skate so what are you on about?
you have nothing to worry about.
stop thinking so much.
you can not predict the future.
and if you think you can well…get over your self.
watch the vine gang edit and shut up.
embrace whatever rollerblading has to offer.
October 8th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
who is producing the 80 mm wheels??
October 8th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
I hate to break it to you, but people on the outside already think rollerblading hasn’t progressed in ages. Only people on the inside can tell the difference between 2000 and 2011.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
Did anybody bother to watch the powerblading video put out by Eisler and company? Apparently not, because you would realize that the potential for this shit is incredible. It’s not my taste, but if you can do what Note, werbeski, and Eisler were doing, then thats pretty cool.
October 8th, 2011 at 9:14 pm
Jst another thing to put us deeper on the hole….really guys?? Powerblading?? Lmfao!!! Am proud to say iv been a blader since 1999,bah powerblading has a really uncool image…dnt think it’s going to help us,bah if it gets us expousore,then hopefully it will also help bring out the blading we all love,and drop this powerblading…Wut ever happend to the raw street blading like the UNDERESTIMATED vid…gotta love all those sections ey….
October 9th, 2011 at 12:55 am
I laugh at you all clueless fools. Powerblading is nothing more than freeskating with more aggressive approach, people are doing it for years, but nobody before named it. There are, and were, UFS frames for 80mm wheels or larger (up to 90mm). Mounting such frame on aggressive boot is quite common practice, and Rollerblade did id before Powerslide with their Fusion line.
And now, when Powerslide is trying to forge a bridge between freeskating and aggressive, to allow more fluent flow between these two communities, you complain. In long run it’s a good thing, because BOTH types of skating will get “fresh meat”. It will help to advance skating to be something better – for example freeskaters developed many awesome slides on wheels, which are mostly unknow to aggressive skaters, and freeskaters will start to do grind and stalls for new tricks in urban environment. Aggressive skating WON’T lose anything because of Powerblading, quite the opposite. So stop bitching, and if you don’t like it don’t buy it, these are only two new frames and two new wheel models, not like PB is replacing all aggressive skating frames out of sudden.
And be prepared to see more skaters who are focused on skating faster and doing better lines, than killing the same rail over and over again. In next few years, rollerblading will hopefully reclaim “rolling”… because now aggressive is more like “grindblading”.
October 9th, 2011 at 2:25 am
Hey Micheal,
I hate to break this to you, but intelligent comments are not for this blog. Please take your thoughtful words and approach somewhere where it can be valued and appreciated. The mutts that tend to populate this arena are more concerned with dissing the things that don’t appease them.
October 9th, 2011 at 5:21 am
@michael and any one else calls it “Aggressive skating”
its not this
“aggressive” is such a put off word.
it sure as hell isn’t skating aswell
it’s blade
rollerblade or rolling
October 9th, 2011 at 5:26 am
this isn’t “putting us deeper in the hole” you negative cunt get over yourself
October 9th, 2011 at 6:13 am
I don’t see why it should be called Carbon 3. It’s more or less just a Carbon 2 with different colors. I guess the strap seems a little different, but I doubt it’s enough to really change how the skate feels.
October 9th, 2011 at 6:39 am
It’s aggressive skating you moron. rollerblading is rolling around not doiing any tricks.
October 9th, 2011 at 6:42 am
I like the boot only. Best looking boot on the market. u can keep the frames.
October 9th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
If i understand it right! We have
Aggressive inlines and Freeskating now Powerblading it´s between both and altso fitness and speed! is there any more genre?
October 9th, 2011 at 3:10 pm
@Karl af Sweden
Most common types of skating are:
Rec skating – what lots of newbies on skates is doing, slow, calm ride just for fun.
Fitness skating – skating as form of training to stay fit, skates are of stronger construction than rec ones and have bigger wheels
Speedskating – probably most technologically advanced and biggest community-wise type, focused around speed competition
Quad speedskating – the same as above but on quads (it’s usually slightly slower)
Inline downhill – full armor rocking down steep hills. Usually on 5 wheel frames and durable plastic boots. Speeds up to 110km/h.
Inline alpine slalom – the same thing as on skis, but without snow, on a hill with hard road and using skates with 5-wheeled frames.
Nordic skating – using skates with off-road frames to cover rough terrain. There are also skates that mimic cross country skis for training during summer.
Inline Hockey – name speaks for itself
Artistic figurine skating – mostly done on quads, but on inlines too.
Jam session/shuffle – the thing people practice on quads in skate rinks.
Freestyle slalom – this thing with tricks between cones. Skates are of very strong and stiff construction, but much different than agr. ones
Freeskating/Freeride – parkour of skating – basically aggressive without grinds and with much more speed and few different tricks (slides for example), whole city is playground, it’s rare to skate one spot for more than 15 minutes.
Powerblading – the same as above, but more advanced with simple grinds and stall tricks added.
Aggressive skating – focused on tricks obviously. Rolling is limited by small wheels, but still doable, and nowadays too many kids forget that skates aren’t for grinding only…
And there are lot more combinations of above. Most freestyle slalom skaters flirt with elements of freeride. There are high-jumping contests, slide contests etc. Skating is HUGE sport with lot’s of categories and it’s worth to take a look what’s outside cage of one type of it.
October 9th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Michael I applaud you. Seriously.
Guys, if you going to insult a style of rolling, at least be correct.
Go on youtube type in RollerFR/ freeskate/ inline freeride. Do Research.
October 9th, 2011 at 9:59 pm
@Michael
You can add Roller-soccer, there even a world cup championship, currently the leader is Marseille
October 10th, 2011 at 5:47 am
I don’t see anything new in sticking an 80mm wheel onto your skates.
The name is lame, the idea is top managers bullshit, what else?
October 10th, 2011 at 7:36 am
yknow i’ve met enough groms that think theyre good at skating to know what kind of people post here. dudes who dont really rollerblade. haha
October 10th, 2011 at 7:57 am
The name is indeed pretty lame
October 11th, 2011 at 6:50 am
someone call the wahhmbulance, some lil douche stuck in the early 2000s is cutting their wrists and bleeding on their sweatpants TONIGHT.
