Guess it is a common post, but as a lot of peeps on here have been rolling around 10 years or more it would be cool to see! I'm in love with Xsjado's and have been since they came out, right now im busting on some Stockwells. Just put on some Eulogy wheels and some fresh fresh fresh new fiddy fiddys (THANKS LAW!)

I bought some xsjados and never really liked them.
Im skating my Remz 04 haffeys. with 50/50 freestyle cores. I had to try what all the fuss was about with the freestyle trend. I hate it. Im going to go with 4 down cores.

Just grab the outer walls for the 50-50's and change em into flats! I used to have the freestyles they were the best on the market with the h-block within but I prefer the flat ones now!

Farmer 1 boots
Featherlite Haffey frames
M1 Aragon wheelsÂ
4x4 Jack O'Lantern anti-rockers
Craps bearings
I'm getting the Farmer 2 boots next along with some new Xsjado Mook frames. If only those delays and mishaps didn't occur, I would've had one heck of a winter vacation.

I still have my 99 ST9's. I bought some RB Access boots cheap because I wanted to swap the soulplates over for a UFS Conversion. But then I cut off the toes and shaved down the sidewalls on the RB's , dyed the skins and put a small v-cut in the back. Got my Matt Andrews Ables mounted but I cut off the protruding parts of the h-block with a hacksaw so they sit flush with the bottom of the frame. I bought some closeout 9mm's form skatepile but I've cracked two hubs already so I scored a set of Krypto Flat Roxx off ebay for $5 shipped. Waiting on some Gen 2 liners to come in from ebay and looking for a heel pad that comes anywhere close to what salomon used.
Will probably still convert the ST9's but I'll use a Razors Gen soulplate and mod them and frames to run 61mm or bigger outside wheels.

Nice skate Tim. I'm still rolling on some Remz06ones that I had reviewed for havenskate... And 50/50 freestyle cores - I want to get the new cores to roll flat, but haven't invested in that yet and I'm so used to the freestyle now it'd be a tough change.

I thought that, but after a couple days I got used to anti again, so much better!!! All the hype for freestyle was ledges but they sucked on ledges, especially for torques - but were amazing on rails. Anti is right for me and im glad for the last couple years I have been back on them, my freestyle stint is defiantly over.

really? For torques, I feel like they're the best. Torques are my favorite tricks so maybe that helps, but it really seems to me that the frames just slide you right into position on ledges. Personal preference I suppose.

the only thing i really disliked about my freestyle cores were that the groove was so low (close to the boot) that i had to put a massive groove in my backslide area in order to not have a retardedly stand-up backslide angle.
it does make torques and farvs really easy though, and you're right, the groove shape gives you that nice clicking-in feeling that lets you know you're locked in.
i'm going to be going back to anti on my next skates for sure, i'm sick of freestyle, i want a tighter groove.
