Product details
Known for his love of risk and uncompromising street stunts, Carlso Bernal is a USD-branded pro rider who is ditching his previously favourite USD Carbon Free skates for the 2023 season and getting his first dedicated USD Sway pro model. Increasingly popular, the USD Sway skates are a true classic offering a combination of removable liner and a plastic shell. Offered in an original colour scheme reminiscent of the 90s, they are a complete aggressive skating set, equipped with a range of proven gear innovations.
USD Sway Carlos Bernal Purple/Green - for whom?
- Thanks to the flat setup friendly Kizer Fluid V frames, the USD Sway Carlos Bernal - Purple/Green seems like a great way for anyone already tired of the slow anti-rocker sets. The carefully selected hard USD 60 mm wheels will be well hidden inside the frame, preventing any wheel bite during grinds. Skating eight wheels down is definitely more fun at the start!
- USD Sway Carlos Bernal - Purple/Green models are first and foremost an apt choice for the skater looking for a versatile, slightly wider shell. If the compact USD Aeon shell doesn't quite fit our feet, or if we're not going to spend a few weeks getting the high-end USD Carbon fit right, then the versatile USD Sway could be our golden mean.
USD Sway Carlos Bernal - Purple/Green - why?
Versatility - the USD Sway's classic inline skate design makes it very easy to change their purpose when needed. The USD Sway Carlos Bernal - Purple/Green rigid plastic shell will give us optimum support not only when performing tricks, but will also work great when changing the 'chassis' to slightly larger wheels. The strong Velcro at a 45-degree angle offers proper ankle protection even under higher pressure of dynamic urban sessions.
Quality components - the proven USD wheels and fast Wicked Abec 9 bearings are included. The 60 mm size allows higher speeds and the flat profile ensures stability.
Dedicated shell size for the youngsters - the children's size 37-38 is a separate, dedicated shell, which is a miniaturized version of the adult skates. This allows it to offer all the current hardware solutions to the youngest from the very beginning.
USD Sway Carlos Bernal - Purple/Green - Worth knowing.
- The USD Sway Carlos Bernal - Purple/Green inline skates feature the comfortable and popular MYFIT 2nd Skin liner with a double size range (e.g. EU 41 and EU 42 have the same shell). Ready to skate from the first moment you put them on thanks to the anatomically shaped 3D lining made from a combination of several layers of foams of different thicknesses and densities, ensuring high comfort and performance. The tongue of the liner is made of pre-shaped and moulded EVA foam. The heel area is fully heat-formable and additional lacing will stop unnecessary movement inside the shell.
- The additional lacing system of the liner gives us two options - lace up the liner alone or combine the shell and liner to further secure the heel position.
- The USD Sway Carlos Bernal - Purple/Green has a considerable forward flex, which gives a noticeable range of movement, allowing the knees to be positioned just above the toes.
- The UFS system (Universal Frame System) is a frame mounting standard commonly used in aggressive skates. Created over two decades ago, with the aim of unifying the method of connecting a frame with a boot of an aggressive skate, allowing people to easily use different frames on different boots. USD Sway Carlos Bernal - Purple/Green skates are compatible with any frame corresponding to the UFS system.
About manufacturer
Every aggressive inline skating fan should know USD brand. German company Powerslide, one of the biggest inline skates manufacturers in the world, introduced USD back in 1997, under UpSideDown label to begin with. The name was a little nod towards tricks naming convention but primarily reflected the intention of turning the industry upside down – introducing fresh ideas, offering innovative products and wide compatibility with parts without need to use power tools (which was rather uncommon back then).
USD was a great success – the company has hit the ground running, quickly attracting aggressive skating legends like Shane Coburn and Arlo Eisenberg. Other skaters have followed and soon legends like Jon Julio, Josh Petty, Dustin Latimer, Champion Baumstimler and Kevin Gillan have joined the team. It was basically a pantheon of pro-riders back then, unmatched by any other skating brand team before or after.
In 1998 the brand was renamed to Universal Skate Design, further putting pressure on the main goal of USD – providing great products for wide group of skaters. Even though the very first skates made by USD were not that good (USD Damocles), the company has landed their first mega hit with Throne Classic the same year. These legendary skates were in production for over 15 years and even though they are not being made any more, they still have a lot of fans to this day. It was the first boot ever designed with customisation in mind – allowing to easily change frames (even for ones made by other brands like 50/50 and Senate), soulplates and other parts.
Few years later, USD joined an industry wide project to develop UFS – universal frame system, a skate frame mounting standard allowing for simple exchange of frames. It is used in skates to this day and serves as an example of what can be achieved if big industry players are willing to cooperate. Of course, the brand has not stopped innovation and constantly introduced new skates, parts and pushed for growth of the sport. In year 2000 they have released a video with profiles of USD team riders – now legendary COUP de TAT, one of the most important, if not the most important, videos in history of aggressive scene. Another milestone came in year 2010, when another brand by Powerslide – Deshi – was disbanded and USD overtook and polished their best skate, resulting in release of Carbon II, undoubtedly the most popular carbon-based aggressive skate ever. The design of this boot has proven so good that other companies have started to copy it. Five years later and USD drops another megaton bomb – the Aeon skates, first ever to feature unibody construction, where shell, soulplates and frame are single moulded piece. This resulted in a super light and responsive hardboot, unlike any other released before.
There’s no denying that aggressive inline skating is not as popular as in 90s, but there are still several core brands on the market, offering solid products. However, while others focus on two or three skate models and target medium or upper price bracket, USD tries to offer variety both in terms of price and products. If you need solid, complete skates to start on, USD delivers. If you are after high end, lightweight boot made out of carbon, they have those too. Something innovative, different maybe? USD won’t let you down. This variety is something other companies simply do not match.
