Valo just dropped their new Valo V13 Boots, brand new for 2013. These blades come as a boot only, so we added some professional grade parts and upgrading a few things, to make this one desirable Custom Skate.
The Frames: Youth Airliner Jon Julio Pro Frames
The Youth Co. is Jon Julio’s brand new frame company, with the likes of Chris Farmer and Chris Haffey on the team supporting it. Julio and the team went through rigorous prototype stages and testing to bring you a frame that is not just durable but made of a plastic that will slide fast without reducing the overall strength of the frame. These frames also have recessed frame wheels, and what that does is when your grinding a ledge the recess walls will reduce the surface friction on your frame making you slide alot faster. These frames come with built in frame spacers, 8mm axles, and beveled edges on the frames, making cess slides a breeze.
The Wheels: ProVoke Gorilla Team 56mm 90a
Provoke is a up and coming wheel company straight outta Detriot, MI. They proudly get their wheels made at a secret manufacturer that no one else has used before. These wheels rock a shot of the Detriot skyline, and with a hardness of 90a in a flat rocker setup in the Youth Frame, these wheels will last you a long time. Super hard and durable, without the slippage of other wheels.
The Bearings: Bones Reds Bearings
Bones® REDS® are manufactured in China to our Bones Skate Rated® specifications in a manufacturing facility dedicated to producing the highest quality skate bearings in China. They are inspected twice before being shipped to skaters and offer the greatest combination of performance, durability and low cost in the industry. Because they offer near Bones® Swiss performance at a fraction of the cost, they have become the best selling bearing brand in the U.S.A.
Single, non-contact, removable rubber shield for easy cleaning and less friction.
High speed nylon ball retainer for greater strength and speed.
Pre-lubricated with Speed Cream® racing lubricant.
Skate Rated™ clearances, tolerances, materials and lubricant provide the best performance and durability possible.
The Soulplates: Valo V13 Replacement Soul Plates
These are the V13 Soulplates, not too big and bulky, just about big enough to get your tricks in. Slimmer style soulplate to match the slimmer style boot make this one of the lightest skates on the market. 6 point mounting system keeps them affixed to the boot firmly. Also with a generous backslide area, along with a decent sized negative area.
The Liners: Trust Special Ops Black Liners
These are Trust’s signature Special Ops liners. These liners are on the thinner side, which make them perfect for SSM’s or Valo’s. They feature a lace up system on the front of the liner, which will help keep your heel locked into place preventing heel lift. It will also make your skates a lil more responsive. The padding these are made of is a memory esq style foam, super comfortable right out of the box. These liners are a major upgrade for this Custom Skate.
