USD Shadow Team 60 Review

[@Stoitism]

Funny thing I get my Eugens on faster than any other skate. I leave the liner loosely tied and dont touch the toe strap. Slip them on, crank the ankle strap down, whip the top velcro buckle/strap thing closed and job done. The numbered graduations on the ankle strap are so damn useful for a consistent fit too. Great review but i'm not taken by them. I'll stick with my Eugens.

[@gooutoffashion]

Tastes are just different. After having nothing but xsjados for about 20 years, the first thing that really annoyed me about my new Aeons was, how long it took me to put on the skates and lace them up so that they fit really tight. With xajados set up correctly, this was just 1. Step in and kick to the back 2. Mid strap 3. Top straps 4. Toe straps - in under 1 minute. Getting out was even faster. The aeons are the complete opposite ... It takes at least 5 minutes to put them on and off. But maybe that's me because I want my Skates to be really glued to my feet. If they would offer a selection of spare parts and especially footwraps again, I would still skate xsjados. Nice review.

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@gooutoffashion oh, it’s definitely a personal preference thing.

[@gooutoffashion]

​​@@wheelsceneblading the screws getting loose is a usd problem in general. The aeons cuff bolt got loose every 15 minutes till I used some lock tight.

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@gooutoffashion it’s a problem with many skates to be fair

[@debas3d]

Elastic laces make things a lot easier

[@blingo4life]

This skate looks amazing

[@franciscopahati8782]

Best skate reviewer ever yet! Keep doing reviews man. So much info and details! 😎

[@4everhumbl36]

Yessir! Definitely my favorite overall reviewer on YT for Aggressive skates 🫡

[@kitderrick9800]

I got on a set of 1.5 xsjado with the first eclipse liner and really appreciate the fit as I have baby feet

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@kitderrick9800 I think another issue might be my giant size 10 feet

[@ragentnz]

Im a nerd when it comes to new skates, I always pull my skates apart, clean all the junk loctite off then reapply new blue Loctite and then let them sit for 24 hours, also If the hardware is crap i get better stuff. I have trust issues. My Them skates had me questioning my life choices to start off with, got the terrible bits sorted and they are still very solid about 3 years on,. Another thing i have noticed is that bearing spacers in general are too big and i end up grinding them down so the bearings dont move around in the wheel. Fruitech hardware is pretty good if you're going to keep your skates for a while, everything fits and nothing strips. Just a comment for the algo. Love the vids Dave!

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@ragentnz I’m kinda the same but because I decided to skate these fully stock I didn’t touch anything before the first session…and I lived to regret it!

[@lustforlow-end6022]

I bought the blue Xsjado Stockwell 3’s back in 2011 for my 30th birthday & was amazed by how light they were. I twisted my ankle on the second session & never used them again. I still have them & even complete with the footwraps, GC Feather light 2’s, wheels, bearings & anti-rockers they’re some of the lightest skates I’ve come across so I’m surprised the new ones are heavy. BTW that 270 back farv was so nice 👌 greetings from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@lustforlow-end6022 I imagine the walkable liner probably bumps up the weight a bit, but yeah I was pretty surprised as well. I definitely remember them being much lighter!

[@RaziAvel]

Jeff Stockwell was the steeziest skater ever imo! Wicked vid as always dude

[@CiDirkona]

Thank you for showing the crashes! Watching skate videos of only the highlights can be really demotivating when my self-doubt and imposter syndrome are misfiring.

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@CiDirkona I spend a lot of time on the ground, it would be rude not to show some of it

[@kevincollins8620]

​@@wheelsceneblading you have more hits than misses, but I agree I've seen you miss on tricks I even have trouble on, but go back and crack it out with style the next attempt, and I get reminded a top soul doesn't always happen first T like a regular soul.

[@kevincollins8620]

0:37 Its Jeremy Soderburg who got me juiced on the skates. He wasnt a pro when he ripped in them, and always looked stylish and like anything was possible in the skates. Look at Jeremy today. I have good eyes.

[@Rollerbalder]

I have never really had an interest in skating these, but I tune into every review because I appreciate your thoughts. Great review.

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@Rollerbalder thanks!

[@Facethemuzak]

Oh Xsjados ! Such a love/hate relationship. It's funny, I skated them back in 2014 and they almost made me quit rollerblading because of how shitty they felt 😅. Then I bought some V13s with a flat setup and all was good, my faith in rollerblading was restored😌.

[@dat_son]

I made it 2 sessions before I switched back to the Eugen cuffs

[@ThatVideographerNick]

Same.

[@Johneleos666]

shadows Ben swuab was my favorite skate , but man they were klanky , I snaped every part while being super light and doing silly things on the park I don't know if I would ever buy them tbh , I love the esthetic from these skates with a pair jorts 🎉

[@chauncey7242]

I have the 25th anniversary Dustin Latimer skates and I have basically the same positive and negatives. They are my most comfortable skate by far, I love the ratcheting 45 degree strap and the wide soul plates. But there are some annoyances.

[@Soulpiercerofficial]

Great video mate ✨ love the music

[@designatedrolla]

Great review, your grinds look really solid in them. Always loved how Xsjados felt for grinding. All issues aside would you/will you continue to skate them? I'm guessing not!

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@designatedrolla I definitely prefer the USD Sway and TNEC 58

[@K_aj_ja]

I always Frankeskate my xjados, keeping the ogs alive!!!

[@wingdingdmetrius8025]

good look at the skate thank you so much. which is your favorite clip you got to show in the vid? :) they were all so good!

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@wingdingdmetrius8025 that is probably the first and last time you will see me do a sunny day

[@RollerbladingwithRoss]

Powerslide Just lost a sale, won't be buying these. Original cuff is much better. Far to expensive in today's market for something that just rattles and breaks. Thanks for saving me the painful heartache.

[@chauncey7242]

I mean the only thing that broke was the cuff buckle, not sure that’s on Powerslide. I’ve been skating that same Kizer buckle on a pair of Gawds for a couple months and it’s fine. And adding locktite to bolts is also a normal thing to do. I think it comes down to do you want a skate that adjustable.

[@trollerbladdering]

Every time you said something was rattling I was anticipating for you start singing The Rattlin' Bog.

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@trollerbladdering I have no idea what that is!

[@longtermsquatter]

When your foot was positioned forward you were backsliding behind the groove. When you moved your foot back would that have exaggerated your personal groove being even further behind the backslide plate?

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@longtermsquatter no. It moved the natural grinding position forward

[@tunermt]

Tune them skates a must do indeed

[@wheelsceneblading]

Every skater needs to own blue Loctite.

[@mr.rodriguez5099]

I dont have this skate but i bought recently the kzer fluid 4 frame and i think the frame is quite short and the groove too low. I found as well difficult to slide on the groove on royals. I just lock on the boots. Not good. Thanks for the video!

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@mr.rodriguez5099 I definitely think the size of the soul plate matters with that issue. This soul plate being so wide just doesn’t seem like the best combination, but I imagine it would work well with a more narrow soul plate like an M12 or a 909 or Cult

[@mr.rodriguez5099]

Yes definitely. I have a large soul as well and the fluid 4 is not the right match. Cheers​@@wheelsceneblading

[@savortheflavorrollerblading]

I love shadows but I cant seem to put my finger on it....its like they were never fully realized. There are so many moving parts.

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@savortheflavorrollerblading the concept could definitely be improved

[@danteneal5561]

I feel like with a skate like this the bolts should be rivets, it still needs adjustments to perfect this mold

[@paddyhartlep8424]

Anyone tried them with 80mm wheels/frames or bigger?

[@wheelsceneblading]

@@paddyhartlep8424 essentially, that’s what Doop skates are

[@ThatVideographerNick]

Yes. Skated them with slimlines with 64,68’s and 72’s Lots of speed and great fun

[@mattkamachaitis7549]

Will never understand how anyone has the patience for these things. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@JustAnotherBlader]

hate those goddam "supreme" buckles. i told powerslide to stop sending me replacement ones cause they are all useless lol.
