Seba CJ Wellsmore Inline Skates

Seba brand, mostly associated with freestyle slalom and freeride skates, tried to change their portfolio to a broader one circa year 2013. While this ambition of becoming an inline skating powerhouse in all areas has not been realised, the result of company takin a step in this direction were several interesting skates.

One of them is Seba CJ, an aggressive skate made in association with Australian skater CJ Wellsmore. CJ is undoubtedly one of the most talented aggressive skaters on the planet, however he always had it a bit uphill because of the country he lives in (and we are not talking about lethal, venomous spiders and snakes here) – Australia is separated from the rest of the rolling world, most importantly from the US, a birthplace of aggressive skating, and Europe, where the community around this sport is thriving these days. Thus, CJ had to wait for far too long for his signature skate. Finally, he struck a deal with Seba, resulting in Seba CJ skates, now coming in several verieties.

Seba CJ are based around concept of a boot with integrated padding. This brings benefits of reduced weight and increased precision of following your movements by skate. While CJ Carbon are made, as name suggests, with carbon fibre shell, CJ 2 uses a composite material equivalent. The soulplates are made out of fast sliding material and are the same width for the whole length of the skate – which is important for many users and makes it easier to lock on a grind. Backslide groove is shallow but well shaped and will work perfect until you’ll work in the deeper groove on tricks. Overall, CJ line of skates is a great choice if you are looking for a higher, more supportive alternative to USD Carbon skates.
