Richie Eisler skating the new USD Franky Morales Carbon 2014 at Woodward West
This is a collection of raw clips of Richie Eisler skating the new Franky Morales pro skate at Woodward West. The skates are customised all black with paint and shoe polish.
Welcome to 2015 with the brand new black Carbon III skate!
This is a real softboot hybrid that lasts even longer and includes a cuff for improved support and flexibility. This cuff, which has been created with an exclusive mold, includes a v-cut cuff which matches the enhanced lining of the skate. The improved flex thanks to this new cuff means that there is less stress on the inside lining allowing for longer life, perfect heel lock and all round better performance.
The flex is also supported by a unique tongue, a one piece construction made from different foams allowing for great comfort, perfect flex and no wrinkles or surplus material that could cause blisters.
We also redesigned the internal structure making the carbon lower, with a new shape. We built in more flex zones to accommodate the additional cuff while maintaining plenty of support to do any trick you can imagine and we made the crucial enhancement of superb forward flex being implemented into the design, a real bonus when it comes to your jumps and landings.
We are proud to present this extremely high quality, Carbon Free skate for Richie Eisler. Richie Eisler paid exceptional attention to detail when creating this skate. The materials are of the highest quality leather and match his favourite shoes, this time in a gray scheme. The beauty of these skates is that the more worn they become, the better they look!
At USD we decided to develop a new compound that would mimic the Carbon feel at a lower price, allowing more skaters to enjoy the Carbon revolution.
The Carbon-Free boot has been designed with a combination of Carbon, Fibreglass and Nylon which has allowed us to create the closest feel to Carbon while enabling us to lower the price for our loyal customers. A size 41 skate weights 150g more than the Carbon II.
Dano Gorman asked me to help him film a section during the summer. We shot most of it in Dublin and made a trip out to BCN. Dano’s skating in many ways reminds me of my own and it’s great to see this little fool killing every spot he goes to.
