    Lol @dickydamage, Razors are STILL using this mold… At least USD has more molds then every other rolling company around and they are trying out new tech and new stuff unlike the other companies.

    These must have been quite a step up compared to other brands back in the day…

    I have a m8 who has been skating since before these were made and he said they made skating too easy cos they had an inbuilt H-block and big soul plates lmao!

    People were hard up for skates in those days I guess lol

    they are the cult boot yes but also the mold for that boot is an open mold meaning that anyone can use it. USD used it, Razors uses it and Nimh as well. its the same with the mold for the Solomon skates a company now makes skates called Cores that are cheap and affordable aggressive skates.

    ” back in the day of baggy jeans flapping around,kryptonics,wallet chains and rocket makios..” sadly this was my life and how i miss it so. I actually remember when these came out and the excitement around them. Anything had to be better than Oxygen and those Poppy and Daisy skates.

    Basically inliners aggressor. I’d note that USD back then was up side down.
