Please check www.news.theconference.org for the full story.

Everyone has their own tastes but when it comes to The USD team the
Carbon 2 has had the most enthusiastic response we have ever had on a
skate model. In fact so many of our die-hard hardboot riders are
making the shift to the Carbon 2 skate.

These skates are hand made and are 1 boot per size. This makes
control, comfort and look all the more perfect. Add to this the fact
that they are the lightest skates in rolling made with the most
expensive and abrasion resistant materials and you have what could
potentially be the best skates ever. That's for you to decide
yourself!

The first shipment of these Carbon 2 skates arrive this week so snap
them up while you still can, or at least before our entire team claims
them all!!

Also check Roll's cover boy, Richie Eisler on his Carbon 2's getting
that front cover shot on the day he arrived from a 48 hour journey
from Canada - he got that allright!

White soulplates? Black looks so much better.

I guess it gives all the scene kids dying options though.

I need these... god damn you USD for being so good.

klebanironcross
14.12.2010, 10:29
i wonder if i can get these with no soleplates to cut down the cost a little since i already have new ones on my deshis.

Oli, what is the deal with this "We also redesigned the internal structure making the carbon lower, with a
new shape. "???

Is this a new new shape? Or the old new shape from the first usd carbon?

its so that the cuff area allows independent progressive flex. I dont think the front part has been modded but I'm asking. It may have been slightly lowered to avoid all possible pressure points to add to the comfort. I don't know I just heard they are much more comfortable than the USD ones, they sure look it.

bostonsk8er
14.12.2010, 13:41
it's the ultimate carbon design. the addition of an articulated cuff is the direction i was waiting for. gives you the proper ankle support without sacrificing flex like the USD carbons did, and the support gives you what the deshi carbons were missing. i need to knock over some liquor stores so i can afford these!!!

FYI, the toe box is larger than the Deshi Carbon.

Its like the USD model, more round at the front, not as narrow.

Those are so good looking, and the concept means skates that fit your feet perfectly, never wear out, have adjustable flex: essentially, perfect skates.

White souls stock makes no sense to me though.

Looks better, easier to see wear, better white/black balance (Political Correctness?)- Definitely looks better, retards can dye them and it won't run when you put them in the wash.

tried these on last weekend... they feel so good but i have a feeling id be back on xsjados after a few months like always. still, I may surprise myself with a christmas present haha. oh and I traded the cuffs on them, both were lookn pretty ballin'... id want to rock the blacks with a white cuff, and black souls/frames/wheels.

gRANT
14.12.2010, 16:55
Whats the deal with cuffs, are there two sizes like the souls or is there a cuff size for every boot size?

I really don't want to have to buy these, but the more I hear about them the better they sound, wider toe box, lower carbon etc. Ankle padding looks nice too.

So the whole shell inside has been modded a bit for more space and comfort, lowered a bit basically.

Village Idiot

after relearning topside mistrials on ledges these past few sessions, I'm afraid of getting new skates other than remz.

Oli, I really appreciate being able to grill you about USDs products. No other skate company has somebody that we can interrogate about their new products.

I just know what it's like when it comes to getting new skates though. In the past i have wasted money on the wrong size Khutis, Psirus, Razors, wondered for hours the difference between one product and another.....and now i get a chance to test stuff or work alongside everyone testing and developing and working with all the feedback it's such a pleasure to know some answers! So thanks! it's a pleasure!

Did you manage to find out whether they come with spare white laces? And it's true, The Conference having you here to answer our questions is soooo useful

UnknownPleasures
15.12.2010, 14:07
No spare laces.

Can you really not afford a spare set of laces?

I'm a lazy fucker, and besides it's hard to find a set of laces the right length.

I don't think my questions are too outlandish, why do I never get an answer? :-(

Conference really trimmed the fat and stepped up the quality control in the last few years. You guys are kicking ass.
