I've tried to move on from Xsjados several times, but I find they're the most comfortable boots for me in terms of zero pressure points. Even if they are big and clunky. I use the original cuff/ankle strap with 2.0 baseplates.
Well after xsjado was discontinued I bought two pairs to last me the rest of my life. I got a pair of the retro white ones and skeleton black. The white ones came in a retro NES themed box. My black ones are still brand new in the box living on the top of my closet. The white ones are my daily driver
Love the shadow concept, love shadow skates, thank for the brief history, very interesting, and totally agree with your opinion on shadows, am waiting for the day where we have a gto level boot in shadows. Love the content keep up the work mate!!!!!!
Hi Law, are you going to skate those Xsjados? If the footwraps are too big or small you can use your own shoes & adjust the shell if you take the frames off 😎
Law .. someone like roller derby (walmart brand) has got to come out with a kids aggressive skate around 50-60$ for this sport to grow...in my opinion cost has always held us back.. you can buy a cheap skateboard for 30 bucks and try.. $160 for most parents is a lot to try.. I see kids skate in their fitness skates all the time at my skate park.. but as well all know it is just not even close to the same..and I can see them get discouraged
Hopefully the shimas shipped with right foot bed inserts! I ordered the v3ht liners and now waiting on left bed insert to be sent. I got a right foot insert in each liner. Lol roller warehouse is supposed to be taking care of it. So if anyone is having left foot pain check that you have the right foot beds!
Always admired the xsjado skate, never got to skate any though. Been looking high and low for any for sale 😑 hopefully, like you mentioned, we'll see a quality resurface of the style
you ever tryed xsjado/shadow soulpates on usd carbons? i use the usd shadow plates on my carbon frees and love this setup, definetly worth a try!❤ Btw, nice livestream like always even if i have to rewatch it, much love from Germany❤❤
@@BacktoBlading i love the space on the negative side and also theyre pretty fast. Also theyre in an little bit less angle than 90% to the frames so they really let you stick to the rails if that makes sense
Same. I’m getting back into skating after 10 years and my xsjados are the only blade I got. Bummed when I saw they were gone. Don’t like what they did with USD.

How can get hold of a 50/50 t-shirt or hoodie top.
Also could you make a t shirt saying “full disclosure.. I own the company “ 😂😂
Happier new year!!
Hah! You laugh but people still don’t know! I always disclose. :)

I own a pair of Xsjado Jeff Stockwell 3 (2010) with GC 2 red anti rocker. Really love these skates. They really are something else!
Yes they’re great. I have the blue ones 🤙🏻

I think you should come out with the 50/50 freestyle frame again!!!!!
That’s basically what Balance frames with the juice blocks are.
Creative intro love the videos man keep it up!!
The audio is fantastic now
Thanks. I work really hard to improve the show so this means a lot

I was confused by the start when I went to watch the posted version because I came late to the live version lol
#xsjado 2.0# Where can I buy the replacement wheels and bearings I could not find it nowhere ,or almost . Thx you
Also, I'm fairly certain the reason people skated creatively in Xsjados was because of Dustin Latimer.
Great Gear talk episode as always - Any chance for white compass frames?
Absolutely
What are some good replacements for the foot wrap? I have the original Jeff Stockwell Xsjado’s
I’ve heard people like low top converse
Did u have a ankle pad for sell?
you ever tryed xsjado/shadow soulpates on usd carbons?

I haven’t, could be amazing

Can i buy your xsjados i cant find any
Anybody having xsjado V2 souplates to sell? Even used ones. I can't find anything besides XS or L
I think it's funny they dropped the xsjado and they're just calling em shadows now lmao 😂
I pulled my xsjado all white chris farmers ( painted them lime green and black) from the garage, sad to see they are no longer in business.
