Have these and I love them. My main complaints are exactly the same as yours. I hate the stock wheels but haven't changed them yet, also don't like the top lacing system, but honestly I don't mind just tightening the buckle. I had the old shadows and they were soooooo flexy. Loved them for park as well as street, but these feel....so much more stable. I've come off a few shaky landings completely fine on these, where the old ones I feel like I would have toppled to the left or right. Also just got some medium oysis I may try and throw on, which should only add to the stability. Don't know if I should go 72mm or 68mm on the outer wheels for a completely flat setup, maybe you can chime in? Going to use the oysis primarily for park/air stuff, while still having the ability to grind in a way that's comfortable for me. Love your videos, cheers!

[@denzense]

You can move the heel cuff a little to the front of the soul plate so that the foot doesn't move so much... a skated xsjado almost 10 years and what I'd like about those skates is that you don't need to adapt to the skates. The skates adapt to you

[@RicardoLino]

i understand what you mean..in fact i actually skate the smaller size soul plate before and fell good on my size..but at the same time as i said in this video the skate adjust to your tricks and that is awesome...its like cheating...:P

[@HollyBoni]

Nah, the problem is the "shell" sizing. The medium plates are still waaaaaaay too huge for size 43-44 shoes. Not just length wise but width wise as well, since they're the same width as the large ones. When I skated Xsjados I downsized to the small shell and used 44 shoes. There was a tiny bit of toe overhang but the plates hugged my shoes and it was amazing. I started on the large shell and it was absolutely horrible. Another issue is that Shadows come with no heel pad in the cuff. A lot of people are complaining about this. The shock absorber is not just there for absorbing shock, but it wedges your shoe in side to side and makes the shoe fit better in the cuff. So your shoe moves around in the front because the plates are too wide, and it moves around in the back too because of no heel pads. 😄

[@chrisgoblin4857]

I loved my Xsjado 2.0. Don't have the foot wraps any more unfortunately but they were fantastic for me.

[@Frankenstein_]

The point of xsjado wasn't just that you can walk right out of your Skate it was that you could Skate in any of your everyday Shoe's in that regard USD totaly missed the point. (Truly sad to think about getting back into Skating and one of the first Vid's you see is xsjado was shutdown and then reworked by USD who thought it's a good idea to remove the signature feature that made the Skate what it was.)

[@xenophagia]

That was absolutely not the point of the original Xsjados. In fact they reccomended against it.

[@philip7343]

I loved my original xsjado skates had the latimer Stockwells and basics probably the best skates ever!!

[@lopez9212]

I love what you do! Thanks for all the info Lino

[@RicardoLino]

i love to do it :)

[@TwoQs]

You really make every skate look so fun. Too bad the skates don't include the skills or I'd be all over it! Keep killing it bro!

[@cuank]

1:23 so clean

[@johnj5p]

I picked up the 2.0 recently. I can say they grinded like butter but for long skates the cuff was too loose and the bindings dug into my foot when forward flexing. Having the walkable wraps wasn’t all that great because in the time I could get in and out of the bindings I could just as easily slip out of other skates and put on my sneakers. Concept is great but I would just as soon have less complicated skates with those soul plates.

[@helderamorim]

Good review, hope you had a great time at winterclash. Good to have a normal video back .

[@RicardoLino]

hehe.. thanks. had AN AMAZING TIME :) busy but good

[@jaroslavkalousek6542]

Thank you for the amazing content you produce. I just got myself back into aggressive skating thanks to you.

[@welvincruz6221]

Thanks Lino I wanted a review for this one and you actually had the same experiences than me on the prev models so now im interested in these!

[@joe4282]

Those look so awesome. Too bad I can't find any in size 9. I made the mistake of taking a recommendation from inline warehouse and buying skates that constantly hurt my wide feet.

[@francocerella6108]

Good review, Keep up the good work. Bay fam🌉

[@PowerslideInlineskates]

lovely torques!

[@MK-xw1rp]

Hay power slide im getting ur new xjadows any word for replacing parts an liners ??

[@elliottkendall5256]

I've still got my original Dustin Latimer's from back in the day, still skate good

[@sebberrocal9888]

Great video! I can see some fancy wheels behind you!

[@RicardoLino]

psssss :) dont talk about those yet

[@thephorest]

Do you like the 1 piece cuff (like on the Trimax version) or the 2-piece cuff (like on these) better for aggressive skating?

[@titzmageex]

Bummed they decided to not include the heel pad that sits inside the soul frame that was included in the original xsjados. Seems like it helped a lot with any heel movement. I'm getting a little bit of movement with my pair that just came in. You woildnt happen to know where i can get a pair of the pads woild you ricardo?

[@alchemicalcreations]

I really enjoy my shadows too. I would say to buy it more for grinding ledges and rails. The soul plates is so big that you can accidentally cess slide in a bowl and fall which I did a few time. I prefer different skates for transition. I tried them with the Kaltik v2 frame as well and quickly changed that. A taller frame and bigger wheels feels waaaaayyyy too wobbly for this skate. Anyways, it is a really amazing skate and lots of fun to skate. Also, Powerslide did a video of the Updated trimax version with the one piece cuff in which they showed off a new liner with a evo compressed tongue. Eugen also mentioned this in one of his posts when he switched to those skates. Although it isn’t really advertised so if you ordered the trimax you might get the older liner with a fatty tongue. From my experience with the shadow, I would prefer a different tongue or a better lacing system. Cheers

[@Heiduschka]

thx

[@atomusstar]

Nice review and fire demo! Clean skating man

[@ochamadodamontanha]

Esses dias vi um plate Shadow com uma bota Gawds. Achei curioso e muito bonito por sinal. O plate largo deve ajudar muito!

[@bodhi1195]

Does anyone know if a new model is coming out for 2021? The skate is sold out everywhere...

[@proffessasvids]

excellent review sir!!! xx

[@labdosgames]

Tenho um USD Throne Billy O'Neill e já acho uma máquina. Assim que tiver condições, pretendo comprar um shadow pra mim.

[@robmastin7964]

Good review mate. Cheers

[@b0nez31]

Does anybody know where I can find a soleplate for these?!! I have the large skates and I cannot find them anywhere

[@Shadowcat]

Have actually the same problem with Xsjado Avant. Parts are nowhere to found because USD started to treat the brand like a naughty stepchild

[@ChiefKeith94]

Big love from Northern Ireland bro✌💕

[@noorbabelli]

Can you tell use were we can get spare parts for ROCES ELEMENT UFS 52 skate aggressive

[@ULTIMATEZEROINLINE]

I’m forsure a lace snob too haha

[@0Ninja0Dude0]

So if I wanted the fluids could I still throw the kaizer frames on them?

[@0Ninja0Dude0]

Wish they had a model with the aeon 80 built in frames

[@DJ-nr8cd]

Great review & sick little edit. I skate a UK 9 too. Do you know what shell size the UK 9 uses for the new USD Shadows (small or medium)? Thanks.

[@_MJ07_]

It uses a medium shell which was introduced when the 2.0 released. I'd still advise getting as small shell skate though (I think that stops at UK 7 maybe?) And cramming into a uk8 (maybe some 9 liners/footwraps might fit), because the small shell still skates 100x better.

[@DJ-nr8cd]

@@_MJ07_, thanks for the info. I thought that was the case. As they've dropped the 1/2 sizes I wasn't sure which way they went with the size split. I'll go for the small shell and order a slightly bigger liner seperately and have a play to see what works

[@gabrielgagne3850]

My fav. Trick to do, the first in the video. But I like to start spinning from fakie

[@dmytromak5479]

Last weekend I took the xsjado 1.0 out of the box, put them on one foot and they broke on my foot, I bought them back in 2010😢

[@gabrielgagne3850]

Broke these in a few weeks, the straps and side of boots have .3cm of plastic. Useless... clack clack.. can’t use a skate that lasts less than a month. Probably one unity cess slide going 30 on a street and it’ll do it for the front strap

[@spade4acer]

20:14 Why is this? I skate without a shock absorber because I want my feet to be level with the ledge when grinding, but I don't know if it really makes me a better skater or not. But how does it make you faster?

[@jtblenker]

You have more articulation in your ankle so you can push off harder/ longer during a stride. When you elevate your heel you have less length to point your toe/ push during a stride but you have better balance in a raised heel going forward and especially backward.

[@papjonas3971]

Is it good for spine or bowl too im worried about i buy one and its not good for parl

[@bayareagoodsamaritan]

I can’t find this anywhere

[@donutbarbell]

Will you be reviewing the new shadows

[@81Garret]

What about Mike Obedoza?

[@TerraRyze07]

Love these skates i wish i had a pair !

[@rollersbrothers3055]

So that's what they were. Now i want this aswell.... Damn you Lino, You will make me go bankrupt! 🤣🤣

[@sawneybean9584]

god dame!! left a pair of o4 xados that were like new wore them 2 did not like the lack of feeling ona rail at my ex flat.....lol

[@iamuglypeople]

I know a lot of people love these but all I see is a combination of those shoes people wear when they have a broken foot and those kids adjustable fisher price skates. They are hideous. 😂

[@RicardoLino]

ahha. or also some boxing shoes.... :P truth is functionally for this type of skating they work wonders :)

[@iamuglypeople]

Ricardo Lino Haha yes. Who knows, maybe I will try them one day. Good video as always.

[@Asleepinthechapel]

My god you rip. Love the content, man!

[@RicardoLino]

Thanks Dillon, i really appreciate it. one thing is for sure..i have LOTS of fun..then some days i skate better than others. hehehe

[@setco6536]

Good video!

[@craigmodus2442]

Dude...you got canned heat up in them boots....where you been hiding all that????🤘🤘🔪👊👊

[@sunridersclub]

Yo ! Nice. (a bit long intro, had to skip before falin asleep) : just one super cool info you should repeat : SHOCK ABSORBERS TRICK. Everyone should use those on any rollerskate (even quads). Cheers ! Big Up Lino ! Thanks again for the live from Winterclash ! \m/,

[@jackasshomey]

-.-' and i just wish i could just get a god dam pair of USD Aeon 60mm skates for less then like $500.00... yea i know their priced at $289.99 but after shipping charges and customs it adds like $180.00 to the total price to get it to ontario... that's like a whole 3rd skate in shipping and customs charges....

[@ronny12301]

Checkout grindhouse eu The shipping to mexico is 35 eur So maybe the price will be something around that

[@jackasshomey]

@@ronny12301 yea i was originally looking at Rollerwarehouse and they had some 70 dollar usps shipping fee along side possible border taxes that aren't included in the price -.-' big yea fucking right moment there for me... then i came across locoskates but their price was like 50 bucks more without adding shipping ontop of that and skatepro don't ship to canada then i heard someone mention intuitionskate when i was watching the winterclash 2020 stream and they actually seemed pretty reasonable anyways thanks for throwing me another inline site i didn't know about lol even tho i already went with intuitionskate.

[@xrayrunner3156]

Bought mine in toronto @ a shop for much less than 500$

[@Bavmorda]

I'll never understand those spelling nonsenses in English. How do one figure out "Xsjado" is pronounced like "shadow"? "Oysi" like "wish"? Really? 😲🤯 Thank goodness we can buy online, because those things wouldn't sell a single unit in Spain otherwise... 😅 Anyway, I'd love to try them. But honestly as a beginner I prefer to learn grinds on a less "cheating" skate. Though my bearings would definitely appreciate the walkable liner I think 😅

[@oldmanrolling3770]

😂That's because we have a stupid language. I get the Xsjado silent X because why not😅and a H sounding J like Jose. But were "wish" comes from fuck knows.

[@chiefoftimes387]

Should I rollerblade?

[@CityStarrzz]

Dead_ Magen yes

[@Exavyas]

yes

[@chiefoftimes387]

Zachary Bason but were I’m from we don’t have a shop. I guess two day shipping will do lol.

[@humanbeing3795]

do it

[@chiefoftimes387]

Allison Forti what website should I shop?

[@victordraghiciu7670]

Its spelled “xjado”

[@kchappelle]

Nah... too high off the ground. Give me Aeon 60 any day. Who's going to wear those goofy boots around. I don't get it. Nothing wrong with dedicated skates?
