USD just dropped the brand new USD Mathieu Ledoux Carbon 3 Boots. Solid red boot with their signature Carbon 3 build. Now this skate comes from USD as a boot, so we swapped out some of the parts, added our own wheels, frames, and bearings. Now this is one hell of a pro level Custom Skate.
If your interested in a more in depth look at the boots, CLICK HERE for our blog specifically made for the USD Mathieu Ledoux Carbon 3 Boots.
Be sure to check out the extra photos and info below:
The Frames: Ground Control Featherlite 2 Red Frames
These are the Ground Control Featherlite 2 Frames, solid one piece construction with the 8mm Sickle axel. Since the axels have the self locking sickle head on one end, you only need one allen wrench to swap out your wheels or anti’s. These frame have a recessed frame wall, and what that does is when your grinding it reduces your surface friction, making you slide faster. Beveled edges for better cess slides. Coming setup with 42mm anti-rockers right out of the box. These are hands down some of my favorite frames that come stock on any skate
The Wheels: M1 Urethane Trinity 57mm 91a Black/Gold
If your looking for a high performance wheel look no further than the M1 Urethane Trinity 57mm 91a Black/Gold. The wheel features a new Trinity core and uses a more advanced urethane. The Trinity Core offers more flex allowing the wheel to flatten in turns, widening its surface area, providing maximum gripping power. The Trinity continues to be a triple durometer urethane construction to get the right balance of grip and speed. The Trinity uses the same advanced urethane as other M1 wheels, just layered differently to really focus on grip.
The Liner:
These skates features a built in/non-removable liner, this will increase the responsiveness of your skate, since the actual shell and the liner are one. Keep in mind these liners are not replaceable, so to get the most out of the skates you need to make sure your unlacing your skates all the way before you taken them on/off. Be gentile when your putting them on or taking them off, the more you try to jam your foot in or rip it out, the more damage the liner will take. These liners are just as durable as any other aggressive liner.
The Soulplates: USD Carbon Soul Plates
These are the souls that come on all USD Carbon Free or Carbon Skates. These soulplates offer a slim-lined profile with anatomical backslide. These are poured from a very hard plastic, provided much needed durability. If your wanting something a little more beefy check out the USD VII Soul Plates, those work as well on this skate. Those and the USD Carbon Soul Plates souls are available in a wide variety of different colors. Keep in mind we can swap out the color of ANY part on this skate for no additional charge, just gotta call us up and place your order over the phone.
The Bearings: Themgoods Bailey Pro Bearings
These are the signature professional level grade Themgoods Bailey Bearings. The specifications use in the manufacturing process out weighs the Abec rating system, which mean they are better than an Abec rated bearing. They have a single rubberized metal shield, open faced on the other side. Having the one side open make it way easier to clean and lubricate your bearings.
The Anti-Rockers: Razor Black Anti Rocker 42mm
42mm size, is pretty much ideal for an anti setup. Not too big, not too small, just big enough to give you that perfect balance point for all your groove tricks. Metal bushing prevent them from being super noisy. Great solid plastic anti-rocker for the price.
Other Parts:
45 degree USD Carbon 2 Velcro Straps. Now the function of this part is to help keep your foot locked into place. When you tighten these up it will reduce the height of the boot putting pressure on the top of your foot increasing responsiveness and fit. These straps are adjustable so you can fine tune them to your exact wants. And it helps keep your heel locked into place, while reducing heel lift. If you get these skates and don’t really like the straps, you can take them off and skate without them.
