Our rider Daniel Goncharov met with Ivan Kovtun for a session at Ivan’s local skatepark!

Daniel Goncharov combined his two passions to create this unique Piece. “Over the last 2 years of life, there were a few things that have changed something in my head, including the attitude towards skating. I wanted to make the file “my own” for myself. And here you go. :)

I actively learned to play the guitar, which also affects my feelings from blading. For this I am grateful to many people who were my teachers and listeners”. - Daniel Goncharov.

Special thanks go to my friend Eduard Mnatsakanyan from About:Blank band, and all the guys from About:blank band, and to Evgeny Roshkovskiy. A powerful respect to my friend Ivan Kovtun for having filmed all this on video.

I was guided by many goals, but one of the most important was to make a video, watching which can make all of you, tough guys, raise your ass and go to blade, to get your portion of kaifarikov.:) I will believe that it will happen, and that the abrasions and bruises are worth the price for this. live - blade - catch the moment. Peace for everyone!.

Since joining USD a few years back, Roman Abrate has always favored the USD VII Skate, so it was the obvious choice for his first Pro model. Roman reworked the VII design, adding his own personal twist on this popular model.

The glass fiber reinforced plastic is now covered with a stylish PU & real leather skin, creating additional support across the skate and adding a unique dark look of the skate. The famous VII soul plate got an update with additional side screws, strengthening the connection between boot & plate for an optimized power transfer.

The skate comes equipped with the premium MYFIT Roman Pro liner, a heat moldable liner packed to the brim with features for 100% comfort. The USD VII Roman Abrate Pro also comes stock with his black Pro KALTIK Stealth frames, a full flat set up of USD Roman Abrate 58mm 88A wheels & fast ABEC 7 bearings from WICKED.

Our premium quality aggressive skate for one of the best park skaters in the world. The new USD VII Roman Abrate Pro is OUT NOW worldwide!
