sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 20th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Nice one. Since its still modular, can we just buy the heel/cuff?
July 20th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Option to use Normal buckle … finally … but too late …
July 20th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
WTF September ? -_- can we at least have it for SOME the the summer when were NOT in school?
July 20th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
was that Sean Kelso on the Xsjado website rocking the 2.0′s?? whaaaaat!?
July 20th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Surprised noone mentioned the pic of sk on the siteS mainpage..
July 20th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Carbon 4s weren’t appealing to Sean.
July 20th, 2012 at 2:47 pm
Cool. But as excited as I am, I dont think Im alone when I say its probably too little too late for most Xsjado supporters. The passed years worth of scrapping for over priced parts wherever you can find them, the quality of the products were always piss poor, theres STILL NO TEAM VIDEO, then shitting on their pro team, etc. was just too much.
When a multi-million dollar skate company cant provide a decent velcro strap there is something seriously wrong there. These minor changes should have been made years ago. Instead of Stockwell getting 2 different colored skates at one time, the Pioneer flopped, the Avant flopped, Shwab flopped and they canned him, Damien 2 flopped and they canned him.
Conference screwed up royal and I predict plenty of their supporters are gone and now skating other brands.
But hey, nice skate though.
July 20th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
johnny 5ive – sure you may have some points, but don’t go spurting out things you don’t know. wilson isn’t skating xsjados right now because he broke his ankle. NOT because of the company.
July 20th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Sorry xsj, it’s too late. Even a year ago I would have nabbed this up in a heartbeat. But been waiting too long and am completely over it.
July 20th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Dakota you are wrong as hell Damien is rolling on razors have you not read his rant about how Xsjado and The Conference? You cant call someone out if you dont even know the facts which are easily found ob the web. I dont think you will find him on Xsjado anytime soon.
July 20th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Here Dakota, educate yourself. Everyone, educate yourselves:

youre welcome.
July 20th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
haha Kelso is wearing a small frame on a Large shell anyway I use to love xsjado but I once tried the razors SL then I regret all the time I wasted on the ninjalikefloppy xsjado. no hate just he facts.
July 20th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
Nice skates.
Sure Powerslide lacked of reactivity but it seems they finally put together a nice piece.
WIll give it a try.
July 20th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Everyone will buy these. They look awesome.
July 20th, 2012 at 4:34 pm
pretty awesome that someone thinks xsjado is a multiMILLION dollar skate company… is there even such a thing?
July 20th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
100 billion dollars…muahahaha
How many little twats on here have no clue who Johnny 5ive is. Go google that shit…twats. Dude had solid points too.
July 20th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Instead of knocking it we should be happy that this is a real new skates from a skate company. It is still a xsjado skate but its completely different than their first one and looks damn solid. It is not a new color way, and its not what seems to go for a pro skate nowadays. They have even added some customizable options for those who are a bit heavy >This guy right here!!< and want to add in a real buckle for added support. Seems like xsjado has taken a major step in the right direction skate production wise.
July 20th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
I meant real new skate, not skates. Don’t kill me for a grammar mistake.
July 20th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
if there’s one thing we should all realize by this point, it’s that rollerblading is never on time xsjado is cool
i would really like to give these a try with a buckle it seems like they might feel and skate totally different compared to the 1.o
July 20th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
Powerslide, owner of The Conference, is very much so a multimillion dollar company, its very similar to Rollerblade. They make off road skates, hockey, cross country, recreational skates, etc. So dont believe that bullshit about them not having any money to take care of their team or products. They’re flat out leeches of this culture just like RB.
The Xsjado 2.0 Cuff has been out on the XC Nordic Skeleton for almost a year already. Whats new here? http://www.xskating.com/Nordic-Cross-Skates:::49.html
This press release is no more than another “coming soon” teaser.
July 20th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
These are hardly anything new are they?
Xsjado are pretty much done and dusted.
July 20th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
Super stoked over these and going to preorder right away. Im sure this skate will sell a lot! The whole damien thing sucks but at the end of the day without getting sucked into tye drama i feel like xsjados fit my style of skating the best.
July 20th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
Guys…suck my egg
July 20th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
Sean Kelso in Xsjado? O.O
July 20th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
@Johnny 5ive
Powerslide is NOT a multimillion- dollar- company. Powerslide consists of about 25-30 people in their headquarter. Its a small biz still
July 20th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
haha i swear all this hate is from owners of 20 y.o. solid shell skate companies
good god did you see what they did ? mother fucking progression suckas. ditch ufs for a dedicated suspension frame. thats the next step

How can you be over an ergonomically correct skate.
Stop being a consumer and be a thinker. Think about rollerblading, movement of your body, and how your skates fit with your skating NOT ABOUT WHOS WEARING THEM AND THERE RELEASE DATE. Its rollerblading. We don’t have the blood for everything to be bang on every time, we live with what we have.
July 20th, 2012 at 11:26 pm
I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Kelso on xsj, I think it will be interesting to see how he rides in em!
July 21st, 2012 at 12:14 am
nice wiht option for buckle, can’t wait to buy a pair !!
July 21st, 2012 at 1:34 am
I only have 3 questions:
1) Will these skates allow me to spin at least 4 times before grinding ?
2) If I huck myself at a rail with these will they auto land all the time ?
3) What do these skates sound like when I’m taping rails ? clink or bong ?
July 21st, 2012 at 2:59 am
Waaaaaaaa, my iphone gives me everything instantly. waaaahhhhhh, my mommy’s tit is always in my mouth. waaahhhhhhhh, i hate xsjado because the skates came out late. I hate em, I hate em, I hate em.
July 21st, 2012 at 3:11 am
Would love to try these with the buckle option instead of the straps. New soul plate looks sick! Different sizing options was long over do. Those of you talking of xsjado being done seem to forget that the most technically innovative rollerblader in the world rides these. The masses will follow. At least there is some improvements on the design and not just another color scheme like most other “new” skates out there.
July 21st, 2012 at 3:41 am
Xsjado has every right to take their sweet time. You can’t rush perfection. The new footwraps look sick too!
July 21st, 2012 at 9:12 am
damian is washed up and his time to go, dude hasnt been good since forever, plus hes a bitch for bitching. what a waste of space. And kelsos a bum, go skate some curbs, milk your childhood skills, ck was better anyway hes a bum too. its time for some new kids to come up. Rollerblading is over in america. euros rule. and south americans are the heart. scum bag rollerblading so fucking dumb. blader gang blader gang.
we out here. hang yourself.
July 21st, 2012 at 2:05 pm
@senateman you sound like a salty ass female. shut the fuck up. how’s that sound you cunt? new kids don’t come up because they don’t know how to. don’t be bitchin at skate companies.
July 21st, 2012 at 5:47 pm
A skate that should have been released long time ago.
I remember a time when brands use to upgrade their product almost every year.
I know ” there is no money in the industry bla bla bla”
Well no wonder why the sport is not evolving fast business wise.
Peace
July 21st, 2012 at 6:00 pm
yo suck a dick. those dudes suck. So do you. mother fucks arent even fun to watch skate. dude complains about online edits taking away from skate videos, But I skip all of his sections in any video. Cuz they suck.
rollerbladings dead. face it. skate companies are finished. Scum bag idols arent going to bring anything back, just bury it more into the ground.
fucking twat.
July 21st, 2012 at 11:12 pm
i think the best course of action is to drop an edit of rian arnold skating these.it must be done.
July 21st, 2012 at 11:44 pm
You know rollerblading’s next chance to get big? It’s when the x-games need something new to do and bring back the original sports for the 20th anniversary in another few years years. That is about the best chance to get the Salomon type companies, with money nd technology, back in the game. It is either that or our current companies need to hit it big in the fitness market. What we do is just a byproduct of fitness blading…without some outside support from the public, this is what we are looking at. Now, from an evolutional standpoint, I think the sport is still evolving like crazy.
As far as the sport not evolving, look at the skates now and ten years go. Look at the skating now and ten years ago. If you think, overall, that all parts of rollerblading haven’t considerbly evolved since 2002, you are in denial, pushing an agenda of ome kind, or just don’t understand rollerblading.

Of course Powerslide is a Multi Million dollar company. Just because they don’t have a shit ton of employees doesn’t mean the corporation makes millions a year, in profit. Learn about business before you guys rant .

stoked. Going to be a rad September.

BLADED XSJADO SINCE 2004; NEED IT NOW.
TOO LATE BOUGHT SSM’S.
July 22nd, 2012 at 7:16 am
FUCK I’M ALL WASTED & I WANT THESE NAH!
ROLLERNEWS SUCKS BLADE OR DIE!!!
July 22nd, 2012 at 9:25 am
these look sick. i always hated my straps getting loose after a few weeks. i wonder if these will have a lower center of gravity than the carbons
July 22nd, 2012 at 11:01 am
soo sick finally!!!
July 23rd, 2012 at 5:30 am
@senateman
am i the only one seeing the irony of calling someone washed up but your screen name is SENATEMAN??
lol oh you trolls
July 23rd, 2012 at 9:30 am
great change but too little too late. They’re gonna end the program/ aggressive skate in 2 years tops. Watch and learn. Not enough revenue is coming in. Oh and Both Damien and Schwab didn’t get booted off due to injury or weak sales. It’s due to egos of other riders.
This is a much needed change but it’s not a new cuff since it’s been being used on the nordic skate. the plate is great but still too little too late.
They should’ve treated Shane much better and latimer as well. This would’ve been out 5 years ago and it would be better
July 23rd, 2012 at 5:43 pm
dyed red deshis is always trying to sound like he knows what the fuck is up. pathetic
Schwab is not off xsjado, and has pretty much no ego haha
“too little too late” is what jealous and bitter girlfriends say
People need to stop putting shane on a pedestal. He wasnt forced out. He wanted to leave, he wanted out, understand. He made himself a clean break from blading.
Or why else was mindgames ending so well orchestrated. Endgame remember?
July 23rd, 2012 at 8:51 pm
right. he wasn’t forced out. he bailed because working for them sucked and they didn’t listen to any of his good ideas because it would cost them money. they refuse to drop money for aggressive skates. not that i blame them.
July 24th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
So powerslide was so bad to shane that he quit working for their skate company, and that made him shut down mindgame? That doesnt even make sense pal
