Albert Hooi Ufs Throne – setups? – new setups online 01.10.09
I just received the Al Hooi Ufs throne and as Im not allowed to leave my bed for 1-2 more weeks I decided to at least take some pics of the skate and maybe post my opinion about it – AND COME UP WITH SOME SETUPS THAT YOU OTHERWHISE MIGHT NEVER SEE. I dont claim that a green skate with a blue cuff and orange frames is appealing nor do I say its ugly.
Im not searching for the best looking Al Hooi setup – im just messing with parts I have and see the result.
Stalkers, rumors and carbon?
People post pictures of other people on rollernews. Sounds normal.
But pictures of me landing gay after a small whatever on a small grindbox somewhere in romania? Where is that news? Ouh im skating a supersecret Usd carbon prototype?
Still ridiculous! 60 comments – even more ridiculous…
Want to know what i have to say about the skate? Read the rest of the Post!

Usd 7 review
Ive been wanting to skate the 7 for quiet a while now and finally I made up my mind and ordered a pair.
first impressions:
- the cuffs seem to be pretty soft
- I dont like all whit skates fresh out of the box
- The skate seems to be quiet simple no unnecessary knickknack
- Big negative soulplate
- Skate is pretty light weight
I changed only the frame cause I prefer a good flatrockered Kizer Slimline to any other frame and I removed the shockabsorber cause I wasnt used to the “highheel” feeling it gave me,
also the skate was a bit to small with the absorbers.
The first session was on a rail we just found and I was impressed how well the skate worked from the verry beginning.
I didnt have to get used to it at all it just worked. Though comming from UFS thrones I thought it was a bit to soft for my taste but I solved this problem by tightening the laces a bit more. The royal groove is big enough and works well – the soulplate is big and slides fast.

Sagona Setups + some conference stuff
As the amazing Dominic Sagona UFS throne should be available “everywhere” by now – at least it is at Grindhouse - I thought it could be fun to come up with some setups.
This is not a serious “Im looking for the best looking sagona setup” post.
Its more a “i received the new sagona, lets see what crazy color combinations we can create” post. We had only one hour to “set up the studio” and take all the pics – so please forgive us the unironed background.
IN THE FOLLOWING POST YOULL SEE SETUPS THAT YOULL PROBABLY NEVER SEE AGAIN – I DONT CLAIM THAT THEY ARE AMAZINGLY GOOD LOOKING – you dont have to fancy all the setups.
If you want to see a certain setup, drop a comment, when there are a few I might find the time to take some new pictures.
By the way, the skate comes with an extra pair of golden laces but I was too lazy to change the laces all the time…
Some people asked for more detailed pics of the liner and here they are.

1. For me to remember
2. For everybody to get inspired
If you have suggestions / ideas – feel free to send me an email – ill see what i can do.
