yes
you getting farmers? i am torn on getting the black skeletons, especially if my shop lets me swap coloured parts on them.
what if you put some skate shoes with some nice cushy insoles and no skate shock absorber

no, chris calkins traded me a bunch of xsjado parts and skeleton, for my UFS thrones. I should have em today! I might get the new farmys if i become rich in the future.

you still run the risk of your skates exploding on impact. i mean if you're ballsy do it, other than that I don't see why you would do such a thing.

Yes, the shock absorber is A MUST! Skates feel strange without them...

If I ever forget to replace it after doing some frame rotations or something, I know immediately when put my foot in because it feels soooooooooo wrong on so many levels.
Always skate with the shock absorber. Xsjado footwraps alone aren't designed to withstand impact, that's why the damn thing was put there in the first place.

my sig has no shock abosrbers, my skates didn't explode

Maybe your sig is the reason for your knee pain?

I never do gaps, I only did that because I was skating with michael kraft (he shot it)
knee pain is only when i have the absorbers in

This.
Also, shoes only work well in Xsjados if they have thin soles, otherwise your foot's too far from the frame/souls. Indoor soccer shoes are usually built like this. I've stuffed my Dunk-style Nikes into mine on a whim before and it felt like crap.
