Yeah I'm pretty siked. I'll be getting them for sure, and only slightly thinking I'll regret it.
Remember: "It is better to keep your [hands still] and appear stupid than to [respond] and remove all doubt."
I doubt that they will be all compatible with themselves. Think about it, the current cuffs aren't even the same at the bottom. What makes sense would be four baseplate sizes. A small, a medium (currently available), a large, a x-large (currently available). The small cuffs will fit on small and medium, the larges on large and x-large.
considering that the current small souls say 'm' right on them and go all the way up to 9.5us, I hope there is a 6-7 soul this time around. 6-7 and 8-9 on the small cuff, 10-11 and 12-13 on the big cuff. I sort of doubt they'd bother with 2 soul sizes on the large shell though, so few people ride that one.
I think they will, would be retarded not to. Also a small(er than the current small) would be a proper kids skate. I also think Xsjados were initially designed to have four baseplate sizes but this was cut down to two to keep the cust down. Remember, shops would have to carry not only four baseplate sizes but also four different sizes for soul sliders. Now with the one piece this should be easy to do.
And yeah,do something with the buckle cus I hate that clacking sound!
so what? myth? or are there actually gonna be pictures?
Dudes! It's pretty much these:
There was a strap instead of a buckle in the picture, and no v-cut. Not coming out for a while though, so settle down.

Soo-hooon.
I got to check out the 2.0s and look them over. Chris Farmer and Al Dolega have explained to me that there will be 4 base plate sizes(6-7. 8-9. 10-11. 12-13. And then then half sizes in between those baseplate sizes some where). Still only 2 cuff sizes because they are compatible with the older boot.
They look amazing to me. I was right about it being a strap on the top and not a buckle. The soul is so slim. I really just want the souls for my Carbons.
Reading back now I see people complaining about them not being at BCSD.
Yeah they should have been at the booth but all you had to do was ask Chris about them. He was putting them on and handed me one to check out. They look pretty nifty to me. Seems like they aren't changing the tongue piece unless they just haven't made a proto for that part yet. It needs updated badly. The way the tongue wraps around you leg hurts so damn bad.
Oh and one of the cuffs were cracked about the strap. Could just be a cheap material they used for the proto though.
So in conclusion: I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN AT LEAST 20 PICTURES.

It looks great. It also seems to have a third adjustment hole for the main strap. Getting a good fit will be really easy. I hope they start making narrow foot and wide foot wraps.
It was clear there was a strap in the pictures, but there seems to be a 'bump' for the protection of the straps/buckle and the cuts don't come down underneath the straps, so putting a buckle on will be easy/useful unlike the old models. A good compromise, eh? I could have swore Al told me only three sizes of plates, though. I don't know how much of this information is supposed to be leaked, so maybe he can/can't clarify.
