Thank you! to be honest I like both! the Jump 2 has become my favorite Chaya skate but switching to the Kismet didn't feel like a big change, even if the cut is lower it provides good heel lock. The positive point of the Kismet is that it already includes the slider. I can recommend both :)
@@Knorrcubesjelay did you end up getting the Jump 2.0? I'm very close to buying them. What appeals to me about the Jump 2.0 is the street wheels. I don't think I'll be going anywhere near a skate park and already regretted buying park skates (Roces 5th Elements) 20 year ago.
Do you like the Karma Pro or the Gold Kismet better? I have the 2nd edition Kismet in Pink and I’m ObSeSsEd!!!!!! Don’t want to keep changing the wheels to a park/harder wheel than the 2nd edition Octo Paseo wheels (92a that really feel like 88a) cuz I am also obsessed with the paseos since I mostly street skate everywhere and to the parks … so getting a whole other new skate I have to carry seems more reasonable than just switching wheels always 😂😂🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😂😂 Maybe I just want all the Chaya skates cuz want the Melrose premiums and the Jump 2 as well 😂♥️ But def don’t need 3 versions of the skate parks that are all similar (or maybe I do 😂) so asking I guess what is your favorite between the Karma Pro or Gold Kismet? OR would you just get the Jump 2s and add the slide/grind block?
I like them all for different reasons but actually yes my favorite would be the JUMP 2! and it's the same fit as the Kismet so you know you can get the same size and it will fit well. I hope that helps!
Great video 😁. I got the Jump 2.0 in EU46 (biggest size they do) but they are too tight on the toe box, especially on the right foot ☹️. My longest foot is 293mm so should fit the length but the toe box is too narrow. Do you think the toe box will give at all in the Jumps? I would love to get Karmas but again 46 is the biggest size & I gather they are small. I see this Kismet skate available in 46 & 47 - am tempted to get these in a 47, but the Goldmember styling isn’t really my thing! Do you know if Chaya are planning to produce the Jump or Karma in bigger sizes? 🙏
Hi Stuart. I don't think they will offer bigger sizes this year but the Karma fits one full size smaller than it is so I don't think the 46 will work for you. The jump 2 are soft skates and they break in a bit after a while, but if the problem is the length, then I am afraid it is better to go for a different model. If the issue is the width or height of the toebox I recommend you to either use a thinner insole, try different lacing techniques that allow for more room in the toes and let them sit overnight with something inside like a tennis ball or such to stretch the upper a bit and gain some mm for more comfort. But I can't tell 100% if it will solve it as every food is different and depending on how you feel it better to return them before skating them. I hope you can find a skate that fits you soon! Cheers
@@RAGNAROLL Thanks for the prompt reply, mate! I have Pearls in 46 with Shiva 45° plates on - I managed to get the toes of the boots punched out a little by a ski boot fitter! They now fit almost perfectly (still a little tight in the width in the forefoot). The Jumps aren’t heat mouldable though so I don’t want to risk it in case they get damaged. I haven’t skated them yet so can return to SkatePro if I choose. Do you think the 47 gold kismets would be a better fit?
@@inkh0rn the fit of the Kismet and the Jump 2 is the same (in my size at least), so yes if the kismet are available in 47 these should fit you. Strange the Jump is not available up to 47 when they share the same sole :S I hope you can sort it out man!
Same thing happens to me. I’ll get the US 12 and it’s tight as hell. I ended up purchasing the Rip Jaws from Bont and that allowed me to make more room in the toe box. And it’s like that on all of their park skates. I have the new white Ragnaroll on pre order and I’m sure it’ll be the same situation. So disappointing.
@@Harleywayne I ended up getting the Goldmember Barbiepatin Kismets in EU47 - they fit perfectly. Felt a bit more confident getting them after seeing Montre Livingstone performing all sorts of wonders in them 🤣👍🏽
Hi Do the Xtndr axles are compatible with the original trucks on those skates or do I have to buy Xtndr axles AND trucks to get wider trucks ? I’m confused as I never touched a setup before 😅
Grinding :D thanks to the smaller wheels with narrow profile you can grind on ledges with the narrow trucks, not as easy as with wide trucks but still some tricks are possible on ledges
@@KRAZYFRESHFLOW sure, it's totally safe for regular skating. To remove the sliders just remove the screw on the side and if also want to remove the little metal holder of the slider, just take off the plate then you can access that piece. I hope that helps!
@@thomasmurphy1699 for my the kismet is true to size, only slightly narrow fit, but I am 43Eu on shoes and Kismet. On Karmas I always need to order a 44 because they fit very small.
Best skate ever! Super light! More feel for the ground than with a heeled skate imo.
Hey, man, nice video! Do you prefer using this or the chaya jump 2?

@@RAGNAROLL i think I’ll go with jump 2.0 plus it much more cheaper than barbie.

I have the pink and the gold 😊❤😊
Do you grind with the original setup? In minute 9.28 or are you rolling?
Grinding :D thanks to the smaller wheels with narrow profile you can grind on ledges with the narrow trucks, not as easy as with wide trucks but still some tricks are possible on ledges
I’m a U.S. 12…any chance Chaya will be adding my size to more skate options?
The Kismet is available up to size 13 and the Jump and the Karma up to size 12 US
@@RAGNAROLL I was referring to the Melrose Deluxe and models like that. I have the Karma Pro. Great skate.
Great!!!
Thank you! I am glad that you like it :D
Can you take the grind blocks off
Yes you can take them off easily, there is one screw on the side.
Because I wanted to just use them as regular skates so I just wanted to make sure that it would be safe to take off the blocks

Which trucks do u use ?
In teh video I was using the chaya XTNDR, now I am using the Chaya Park Pro trucks which are much better :D
I have have moxi bunnies and I want to park skate without spending $200 more dollars :(
Just get a slider and you are ready to git the parks :D
