Even the XSJADO fades when it gets dark

It’s been a while since you heard news from Xsjado. The rumors of the brand quitting business were in the streets for quite some time but no official statement was made until now.

The Xsjado Farewell is your last chance to grab a piece of skating history as this is our last skate to be released.

We want to thank all the individuals, designers, skaters, photographers and videographers, distributors and dealers who made Xsjado possible, who worked hard and helped us with their talent and expertise, specially during the development of the Xjsado 2.0 model and who kept the brand alive, staying by our side during these past hard years of skating recession. Thank you all for your support.

But look forward with hope because every end is a new beginning.

CJ Wellsmore - Go Project | Ok Cj | 62mm Wheels

CJ Wellsmore - Go Project | Ok Cj | 62mm Wheels

We’re happy to officially announce our new guest rider: Cj Wellsmore. After a year of tweaking and testing Our ‘OK CJ’ 62mm pro wheel is now available. We made the 62mm rounded-radius wheel mould from scratch in order to keep our unique Go urethane. - Go Project.

CJ Wellsmore - Go Project | Ok Cj | 62mm Wheels

For the OK CJ wheel we created a brand new 62mm wheel mould exclusive to Go Project. A 62mm wheel with an elliptical profile is not currently being produced anywhere else; the perfect way to introduce CJ to our catalogue.

While Sydney’s CJ Wellsmore has been enjoying our urethane (for both freestyle and aggressive) for the last couple of years; we can now call it official. CJ skates a balanced mix of street, skatepark and big-ramp so wanted a wheel size which was easily adaptable over all disciplines. CJ felt the 62’s carried their speed well enough without compromising too much on acceleration. We created the urethane a little harder than our previous wheels so they are faster. The small core still allows for enough give in the urethane to create a good ‘footprint’ (for grip) and shock absorption.

We spent the best part of a year testing new materials for the hub. We managed to fully extract the colour pigmentation out of the core this time leaving us with a stronger hub material. We also changed the way the hub is bonded to the urethane ’tyre’ so the wheel is now more resistant to de-coring. That said, the wheels have a lifetime warranty against de-coring and core fracturing incase you find an anomaly!

With a recent trend towards larger elliptical shaped wheels, the industry has been left with a graveyard of smaller and flatter wheel moulds. We are proud to present to you something entirely new.

Go Project wheels come with Go Project bearing spacers because for the most efficient ride, the length of your spacer and the gap between your bearings must be equally matched.

Razors Icons 2 Skates - Press Release

Razors Icons 2 Skates - Press Release

Razors ICONS 2, the second skate in a series of the groundbreaking Superlight skate generation, has once again set new standards for aggressive skates. Razors has made this revolutionary skate even better: Including a brand new Jug liner which is specifically designed for the ICONS 2 and features 50 % thicker padding, increased front support, flex and ergonomically designed ankle shape, heel and tongue areas, improving the overall support, comfort and ease of use.

The reinforced baseless boot design significantly increases the feel of the skate, lowers the center of gravity by reducing the layers between the foot and ground and resulting in a surprisingly light weight boot. A perfectly pre-grooved and positioned backslide plate combined with a flat grinding area and smooth transitions delivers almost effortless performance of tricks such as backslides, royals and torques.

The result is a super responsive, user friendly skate that makes any boot/soul trick easier, creating a whole new skating experience.
