USD Carbon Powerblading Skates

We just got in another run of the USD Carbon Powerblading Skates, the very first powerblading specific skate. The skate is a Carbon 3 boot, which has the cuff that is a little taller than the Carbon 2′s, which adds a bunch of much needed support especially with the powerblading frames making you ride alot higher, the extra support is clutch. This skate comes with the Powerblading Arrow Frames,with the aluminum cores, a much more stronger version of the Kizer Powerblading Advance Frame. Comes with the Undercover PB Team Wheels, these wheels are poured in the U.S.A. by a company that makes performance speed skating wheels, so you know the compound is solid. These skates come set up with Abec 9 Bearings, to maximize your amount of speed. Another awesome feature that is only found on this skate is the 45 degree strap. This strap is mounted alot closer to your ankle, so that when you tighten it down it will keep your heel lock into place. It work alot better than a regular velcro strap that comes on the Carbon 2′s and 3′s. Also the strap is a bit rounded off to keep it protected while your powerblading. Be sure to check out some of the extra pictures and info below:

Powerblading: What is it?

Imagine when the worlds best and most exciting rollerbladers found a way of triplicating the speed they were used to. Imagine finding a way to fly through the city without having to give up aggressive skating. Imagine Parkour at 10 times the speed, where poor floor was no longer an issue for the small, hard wheels aggressive skaters are used to.

Powerblading is the natural progression of aggressive skating. Aggressive skating has seen thousands and thousands of tricks and combinations invented. It has grown and in many places been outlawed. Fun while skating a single spot, it has become cumbersome and clumsy at times. Cracks in the ground, bad paving, crowds of people, cops and hills are all an aggressive skaters nightmare.

In Barcelona the Powerhouse in collaboration with Kizer and UC has spent a year on the evolution of Powerblading, effectively Aggressive 2.0, and the problem is, once you start its very, very hard to stop. Suddenly a whole new world opens up to you as soon as you strap on a flat setup of 80mm wheels.

Kizer has created the first Powerblading frame to combine the best of freeskate and aggressive. Its the first frame strong enough to resist the impacts that a skilled aggressive skater will subject it to and combines perfectly with the brand new UC Powerblading wheels.

“Combining a strong, lightweight aluminum frame with a fluid plastic grindwall allows for the fastest ride ever to be combined with grinding.

Speed has always been limited on aggressive setups until now. Finally skaters can triple their speed and flow while still being able to grind. Powerblading opens up new terrains and possibilities for the aggressive skater.
