The CRAZY Skates DBX 3 is a very High Performance Derby Skate and is the
culmination of several years of intensive research and development to
bring the very best COMFORT and PERFORMANCE to Skating and especially
Derby Skating. Crazy Skates of Australia, has assembled a team of some
of the best Skaters, Derby Skaters, Boot Makers, Design Engineers,
Mechanical Engineers, and Chemical Engineers in the world to provide
Skaters everywhere with a whole new level of Comfort and
Performance.The CRAZY Skates DBX 3 Boot is a totally VEGAN MicroFiber
Boot that incorporates three core technologies and many other features.
The first is the HLT or Heel Lock Technology, which utilizes Memory
Foam (like on your mattress at home) to lock the Heel into the Heel
Pocket and to secure the Achilles Tendon preventing Heel Slip.
Approximately 70% of the DBX 3 Boot is eat Shapeable ?due to the use
of an ABS Counter that is designed into the Boot from the inside Ball of
the Foot and around the back of the Boot to the outside Ball of the
Foot. eat Shaping ?is what allows the Stock DBX 3 Boot become a
Custom Boot with a Custom Fit, just for you. CRAZY Skates uses CoolMax
MicroFiber Padded Lining to wick the perspiration away from the Skaters
Feet and the when the Skates are removed and allowed to ventilate, the
moisture is allowed to escape and keeps the padding from rotting and
going flat. The second core technology is IFS or Integrated FootBed
System. The Integrated FootBed System provides three (3) levels of Arch
Support: 1. Red is for the Low Arch or Skaters with almost totally Flat Feet, but without Pronation issues, 2.
Yellow is for the Mid Arch which should be used by about 80% of
Skaters, including those that have fairly Flat Feet and need the extra
support to help with Pronation issues, this is the standard FootBed
included in most of the DBX Skate Packages 3. Blue is for those
with an extremely High Arch that needs some extra support. Within each
of the three (3) levels of Arch Support in the Integrated FootBed
System, there are two (2) levels of Support: 1. The Standard Shaped Foam Arch Support System (Standard with the DBX 3) 2.
The Extra Firm Hardened Arch Support System (Standard with the DBX
5)This provides six (6) variations possible for each of the sizes of
the Integrated FootBed System. Choose wisely. There are four (4) sizes
of FootBeds to cover the entire DBX Size range. These four (4) sizes
are trimmed to fit the intermediate sizes.These six (6) variations
within each of the four (4) size ranges, make for a total possibility of
twenty-four (24) Integrated FootBed System possibilities. The DBX
Skate Packages come with one (1) FootBed System as standard, any of the
other additional FootBeds may be ordered as Optional Accessories.The
third core technology is the 3DT or 3D Tongue. This Tongue System
conforms to the Foot and allows for both Narrow and also very Wide Feet.
CRAZY Skates has designed a unique Tongue and Toe Box System that with
proper lacing can provide for those Skaters with very Wide Ball of the
Foot and Toe Box Areas, while if drawn tight can be brought in to fit a
very Narrow Foot. The 3D Tongue also wraps around the foot and with the
Laces run through the Velcro Tongue Tab, which is held in place by the
Wide Cinch Strap, the Tongue will stay in place and not slide off to the
side. CRAZY Skates even has a special way of Lacing the Skates so as
to be able to individually adjust the tightness of each crossing of the
laces. The Lacing System utilizes the Laces being installed Over the
Top or from the Outside to the Inside and then when the laces are drawn,
you will Cross Pull from the Center Out, and the Laces will lock in
place when the proper laces are utilized. To prevent the Toe Box from
getting too tight over time, remember to loosen the Laces all the way
down EVERY Time the Skates are taken off. There are two Cinch Straps,
the top one is used as a part of the Heel Lock System and should be used
to assist in pulling the Heel back into the Heel Pocket. The Toe Strap
is a CRAZY Skates Exclusive Design and is used to eliminate Lateral
Slide of the Ball of the Foot in the Boot. The Heel of the Boot has a
reinforced Heel Plate which will provide the CRAZY Skates DBX 3 Boot
with Stability and not allow it to lay down or for the upper part of the
Boot to pull away from the Sole. The CRAZY Skates DBX 3 Boot
integrates an extremely durable Toe Protector along with extra
protection on both the inside and outside ball of the foot. These
protections will help the DBX Boot to last longer than others. The
CRAZY Skates DBX 3 Boot is a VERY well designed Skating Boot that takes a
Stock Boot and allows the Comfort and Fit of a Custom Skate and also
provides great control for the Skater over the Skate Frame underneath.
One of the most amazing things about the CRAZY Skates DBX 3 is the
extreme comfort and ease of Break-In.The CRAZY Skates Venus Skate
(Frame) is an exceptional design which utilizes the very best
technologies that are available to create Magic in its performance. The
CRAZY Skates Venus Plate is designed of very Lightweight extruded and
tempered Aircraft Aluminum and then is completely CNC Machined and then
is highly Polished providing a GREAT looking Plate that has an Allen
Screw Adjustable Toe Stop and Delrin Pivot Pin Inserts. The CRAZY
Skates Venus Skate (Frame) uses the very articulate 20 degree action
that both rocks and turns like many of the best Artistic Skates in the
World and with Trucks that use a single Adjustment Nut to articulate the
Action Adjustment. The CRAZY Skates Venus Skate King Pin is an actual
King Pin of Stainless Steel made specifically to be a King pin (not just
a standard bolt) that utilizes a special Locking Nut to secure it to
the Plate and increase the Strength to stand up to the most rigorous
usage. The standardized complete Truck Assembly assures consistent high
levels of performance across the CRAZY Skates Frames, including the
Venus and the Apollo. The Aluminum Truck is imbedded with a highly
precision 8mm Axle and a hardened steel Pivot Pin. The Core of the
Truck assembly, where the Cushions (Suspensions) are seated is larger,
allowing for the Larger Upper Cushion to go through the Core of the
Truck and touch the Smaller Lower Conical Shaped Cushion. This design
Totally Encapsulates the King Pin creating the magic feel of a very
Stable, Smooth, Fast, and Articulate Action, providing GREAT Edging and
Total Control of the CRAZY Skates Venus Skate. The CRAZY Skates Venus
Skate (Frame) comes complete with three (3) sets of High Rebound, Fast
Snap-Back Urethane Cushions. One of the three sets will be installed on
the Skates. The Soft or Flexible Cushions are Green. The Mid or Medium Cushions are Clear. The Firm or Hard Cushions are Purple. There
is a fourth hardness that is available only as an optional
Accessory.The Xtra-Firm or Xtra Hard Cushions are Blue.These Cushions
can be swapped very easily and also mixed and matched to create many
combinations. Remember that the Larger Upper Cushion is the one that
that goes through the Core of the Truck and provides the Stability of an
Edge and should most always be the Stiffer Cushion if they are mixed
and matched. The Smaller Lower Conical Shaped Cushion provides the
quick and sharp movements and should most always be the Softer Cushion
if they are mixed and matched. The CRAZY Skates Black Eye Bruiser
Wheels are a 62mm Diameter and the width is 36mm. The CRAZY Skates
Black Eye Bruiser Wheels are a very grippy wheel with a moderate size
Delrin Hub, which promotes longer oll ? They are designed
specifically for Roller Derby and most of the adverse Tracks that Derby
Skaters Skate on. Derby skates on a small Track and Derby Skaters must
have a super agility. Having Wheels that are not as wide as peed
?wheels, provides the opportunity to have good tight crosses on the
corners and to not get tripped up in your own wheels.The CRAZY Skates
Bearings are the ILQ-9 TwinCam Pro 8mm Precision Bearings Are a 6 Ball
Pro Precision Bearing which withstands approximately 10% higher Loads
with more than 5% less internal friction than a standard 7 ball bearing.
The Custom Designed Race Curvatures provide for better Side Load
handling capabilities. The ILQ-9 TwinCam Pro has a serviceable Metal
Shield on one side with a ?ring for self maintenance.The CRAZY
Skates ARROW Toe Stops are very durable Rubber Toe Stops with a flat
bottom to help with that et Up and Run ?needed for Derby. The Toe
Stops are American (SAE) Thread. The CRAZY Arrow Toe Stops are adjusted
in the Venus Plate by an Allen Screw that uses a Standard 3/16ths inch
Allen Wrench or T-Wrench. CRAZY Skates Mount and Power Wedges ?The
CRAZY Skates factory mount is extremely accurate and consistent. The
Mount is Bolt Mounted utilizing Lock Nuts and with internal Mounting
Bridges at the Ball of the Feet utilizing six (6) mounting points on
each Skate for a VERY Secure Mount. The Mount Positioning is very
Centered, just barely to the outside of the long axis and the CRAZY
Plate Sizing is based on Standard Length Plates, placing the Front Axle
under the Ball of the Foot and the Rear Axle under the Center of the
Heel. This type of Mount provides the absolute best and most flexible
Control of the Skates. Other Custom Mounts are available, but without
consultation, are not recommended and will take additional time and
possibly charges. The CRAZY Skates Power Wedges are a very distinct
advantage to the Skaters using them. The Power Wedge is a wedge of
lightweight Nylon Plastic goes between the Toe of the Boot and the Flat
top of the Plate (Skate Frame). All shoes, boots, and Skating Boots
have a natural curvature of allowing the Toes to come up and if the
Skating Boots are pushed down to match the Flat top of the Plate the
Boot can become deformed and mis-shaped placing stress on the Boot and
potentially the Foot inside. By installing CRAZY Skates Power Wedges,
that fill this space and provide a solid surface for the Boot to rest on
and press against (not allowing the toe of the Boot to Flex) during the
pushing process actually greatly increases the Power of the Push, thus
the name ower Wedge ?
