MY NEW K2's.. the ones Jochen was skating...PICS PICS PICS

**KILLGORE** · 09.04.2009, 16:13

So once i saw the ad with Jochen in it skating those Fitness K2's i emailed my good friend and old Team Manager MIKE POWELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL big ups!! and he sent me a pair of those amazing looking blades..... HERE THEY ARE.

I have yet to skate them.. i JUST got them right now. but they are so fuckin comfortable and SOOOOOOOO LIGHT. even with the F1 frames they feel light as shit... Easily comparable to the Carbons, for way less $$.. i THINK these retail for like $225-250

ill let everyone know how they blade when i try em.....

NIMH's are still my jams for life... but these will be fun to play in!

THANKS MIKE!

those skates look tiny killgore. what size are they?

**KingDirty** · 09.04.2009, 16:16

god damn those are fresh...

All they need to do is put like a little bit more soul plate on them and they are perfect.

If rollerblading grows K2 will come back and make fresh jams.

Its the same cuff/soul/frame they've always had.... they are size 7.5

so comfy

I've been riding K2s since early 1997, and I have to say that I am pretty disappointed in the way those things look.

The souls look like they are 1/4" thick and the double velcro straps...WTF?

But please give us a review because I am in the market for new skates and I'd like to stick with K2 and definitely light skates.

They aren't made for aggressive skating..they are fitness blades. the double velcro is good.. just as supportive as a buckle and when your not grinding ledges and fallin all the time thats fine for fitness.

The souls are the same ones that were on stylepoints, k55 and all the others.. just without the UHMW added.

These in my opinion look better then most skates K2 has done lately especially the DISGUSTING TERRIBLE HUGE BULKY UGLY FUCKING nemesis and shit.

They are very very similar to the old models. and you can very easily drill out the straps and put a buckle.

crazy, i was wondering what the dillio was with those. nice work adam.

Fantastic Feets · 09.04.2009, 16:34

I'd stop skating my Schrijns if I could find some size 11 red and grey 250ccs.

I only ever had the yellow and black ones.

But I will probably be buying some Nimhs in the next month or so.

**Rotgut** · 09.04.2009, 16:34

Better pics please. I can't see the whole sole/backslide area.

**Rotgut** · 09.04.2009, 16:37

Sweet. Thank you.

I'm actually tempted to get some of these. Even with all those gay ass colors.

**gatsby** · 09.04.2009, 16:38

EDIT: PICTAR DIDNT WORK

put some nimh souls on these...

**KILLGORE** · 09.04.2009, 16:45

$200 half the carbons... and DEF more comfy.. i've tryed both on.

**Rotgut** · 09.04.2009, 16:58

Only problem is that squishy backslide plate. Used to LVOE it back in the day, but I don't think I could give up farves and torques now. But I bet I could soyale my ass off in those.

**KILLGORE** · 09.04.2009, 17:00

Its not hard to make your own out of some old 50-50 frames or whatever else u like th material on.

im gonna make some out of 50-50 frame walls like i used to and expect to love it.
