Рет қаралды 4,922
Күн бұрынA quick look at the USD XVII, the latest skate in the USD Sway range, and how it compares to the older USD Sway Chris Farmer II. I discuss the new features, the upgrades, and the changes they have made from previous models.

I just had these skates delivered today and I threw my Myfit liners in there from my Munoz Aeons. Wow! The skate feels super solid for this price point. They remind me of my 1st gen Dustin Latimer Psirus in a lot of ways, but just a more modern version. I still rock my 20 year old Mindgame anti rockers on some other skates and it's awesome to have a nearly identical set on this skate. I always loved the design and function. Can't wait to take these things to the skatepark.

how are the anti rocker wheels? are they hard? i cant wait to skate these in a week. i was thinking about getting some kizer freestyle x frames but i might just keep as is. seems solid
