Razors Elliot 3

Jon Elliot – one of this guys who will be remebered forever. One of the first Pro who was not an american and a true rollling legend.

  Nowadays there is a lot of talking about this new ‘rock`n’roll’ trend among rollerbladers. Tight pants, small tshirts and long hairs have become the top subject. More and more people who were recognized by their super wide and lose clothes have changed their style completely, sometimes misnamed as ‘punk’ style. But what Jon Elliot has to do with it?? Well, Jon was the first person who introduced so called ‘rock’ style in rollerblading and influenced many of us, thought there were and still are plenty of people who hate it. Jackets, ties, classic rock music used in profiles – Jon`s style gradualy have become popular, it is no shock for anybody right now. Moreover Jon Elliot heleped with design of the first cult-style Razor skate which was basis of many other models. It is the Cult skate which since its release has been the example of simple, slim and great looking skate. Just think how many Cult based skates have been released so far!
This year Razor released the third pro model of Jon Elliot. There are many opinions that giving Him a next pro skate is a mistake, simply because Jon do not have exposure which he used to have, but we think that we are not into position of deciding if it is truth or not. By releasing this skate The Razor owners wanted to thank and celebrate the 10th anniversary of Jon`s cooperation with the company and point out how huge was his involvement with helping the rollerblading to develop. The skate itslef resembles his previous model, which according to many is the greater Cult skate ever made.
Double lacing system, famous backslide plate and one of the most durable liners to date – are features which remained unchanged which in our opinion is the great advantage. The new features are: Ground Control Dual Injection frame with 42mm grindwheels and new model of 4x4 Elliot`s pro wheels, specially released for this occasion (56mm/90A). Elliots 3 like all others cult-based skate had and still will have a vast ammount of supporters for who this skate will be the most anticipated product of the year. We leave the aspect of ‘should he get another pro skate or not ? ’ for You, but we think it is pointless just like arguing about ‘should they release another The best of Ozzy Ozbourne Cd ???
