View Full Version : Xjado skates
Do you guy think you could get them tight enough on your ankles for vert. In FEbuary were getting them in my local shop and i was wondering if they would work in vert becuase if they do i might get a pair.

those do look like some sick skates to be riding. i'd say you'd be able to get them tight enough AND still have all the flex you need for topsouls. and aren't they supposed to lock your heel in place? so thats even better.
personally i think the skate looks ugly and from people ive spoken to who've skated them they're not to impressed. nice concept in my opinion but not my thing. give me some rollerblade, k2 or roces anyday!

I would bet that they would be way to soft. The whole concept of those skates are to be free and unrestricting. I think they would suck even if you made them tight. Even if they felt good when you try boost some airs they might start flexing a lot. The Murda 2 has good flex with perfect stiffness in my opinion. I put Salomon buckles on the skate though.

Yeah i wouldn't think they would be good either.
nice way of comparing yours and takshis airs :mrgreen:
except for one thing, your shot is a little pointing up and Takeshie's shot is stright across and a little down so it's a little deciving, impressive no the less though

hehe..I just now noticed what that was in your sig. i guess if you could get the cameras at the same angle it would be a good way to measure your progression.
wouldt the xsjados be really bad for landing low cause theyre really flexible?

lol yeah, i didnt mean to take them at differnet angels, i just found those 2 pics and put them together.
hey Trueskater i noticed on your site that you got the Xsajdo skates, how are they in vert or have you not tried them in vert yet. IN March im going to be getting a pair, and if there good for vert i'll use them there as well or else im going to use them for street and park and my K2's with fiziks for vert

i have tried the new xsjado skates
i like them and the concept and all by preffer REMZ and Razors
they skate nice though my friend let me try them out and they worked pretty good i didnt have a poblem on vert with them.
But i skate REMZ more than anything just because of the feel and the give on the ankles.
