USD Billy O’Neil Throne Skates
Billy “Fish” O’Neil has been gettin the hookup lately from all of his sponsors. A pro wheel from Mindgame, a pro frame from Kizer, a pro liner from Jug, and now, the ultimate reward for any pro skater, his own pro skate with USD. They’ve hooked up him up with his own black and white UFS Throne skate, with his pro Kizer frame, his pro Mindgame wheel, and also a new Sifika liner to go along with it all. This is definitely a dope setup put together by Fish and USD.
These new Sifika skate liners are incredibly sick. It’s a black and white SL-714 Liner with all the features they normally come with. It’s got the quick pull-string lacing system so it’s extra easy to get your skates ultra tight. It also features the neoprene toe cap so your toes have some leeway at the end of the liner to press up against the end. One of the main features of the liner is the v-cut back ankle area, made specifically for the USD v-cut cuff on the skate for extra flex and comfort. Lastly, two pull tabs at the top of the liner to assist you in putting your foot in the liner. And also a neoprene pocket at the bottom of the liner for any extra shock absorbers that you would need.
Like I mentioned before, they’ve dropped in a special USD Billy O’Neil V-cut cuff. The v-cut portion of the cuff allows for more flex and comfort while you’re skating, and also makes your feet feel less restrained while buckled in the skate. It’s also features some dope graphics of the NYC skyline and Fish bursting out of it, to represent Billy’s nickname and his hometown. They’ve put that creamy white cuff on top of a flat black boot, with white USD New 2 Piece Souls on the bottom. These souls are made out of special machined USD plastic, made for sliding extra fast and lasting you as long as possible. Lastly, they’ve sketched on Billy’s signature in gold on the side of the boot to remind you that you’re riding the skate of Billy himself.
On the bottom half of the skate, they’ve dropped in Billy’s pro Kizer frame. It’s a Kizer Fluid frame specially made for riding flat rocker. It’s made with one of the biggest h-blocks so you have no problem locking your grinds when riding with all 4 wheels on the ground. The Kizer fluid material is ultra-slick and durable so you don’t have to sacrifice sliding fast for a strong frame, cause you get em both with this frame.
Inside of the frame, they’ve dropped in Billy’s Mindgame pro wheel. This is a 55mm/90a wheel, so you get a large wheel with a strong hardness, which is bound to have this wheel last a long time for you. You’ll be rolling smooth with some USD ABEC 5 bearings inside the wheels, which are some super fast bearings. When you mix those Mindgame wheels and bearings together, you get a super fast, smooth, and long lasting ride.

Hey Hey!! I just picked up the new USD Billy O’Neil Throne Skates and have been riding them for about 2 months now. I would like to say that these skates Kick Ass!! I was riding some k2 250 cc’s and since i have been riding these skates i have gotten so much better (not to brag), doing handrails and ledges, even some big gaps. Its true, when you buy a good quality skate, it helps you in all your lacking areas. I couldn’t even grind before! You should see me now !! Huge soul, faster royales, and great for Cess Slides.

Through the years I’ve skated many many pairs of skates. From the original Rollerblade Tarmacs to Oxygen’s to Salomon’s to Razors, etc. Infact…I have skated every brand possible since ‘94 except Deshi, Valo, and xsjado.
I have to say that these USD Billy O’neill, the Razors Elliott 3’s, and the Roces Fifth Elements are my favorites skates of all time.
Also, I ride flat. It just feels more solid. And the kizer fluid frames are killer with a 52mm-54mm wheel.
The liners are nice. But I prefer the Elliott 3 liners.
