I passed skatebuilding!!
: Please post pictures and a how to do with a point by point. I love my skates, but would like to put a medal plate on and screw on skateboard trucks.
:
I will! I should have something up by Wednesday with tons of pics. I will put it on my website first. Then edit it since I will put wider trucks on it too for here but I will put up a link by Wed. It was FUN! I love to build and make things with my own hands. I love my own roller skates so much more!! I am now free to do anything I want. :-D

I want to build my own plates next time around too, with a cool grindplate, mini skateboard trucks, etc. But it was good for me to learn how to center a plate first and get this right. Plus, until I get stronger and better, that setup wont benefit me more. Plus I need to find out if I will go sidestance, what angle I might want my plate to go out to then, if I want it pushed all the way to the ends, etc. I'm really proud of this because I was so scared to do it since I couldnt afford to mess up my boots. Usually I learn by watching and I managed via word and with some pics. I just hope my foot heals totally soon so I can push my limits and see where this new setup takes me.

 Yep, put my plates on and they skate BEAUTIFULLY! I think I got it within a mm of one another. :-D I wish I could have put the front part 2 mm centered more to the left, but better then they were.

The only big problem I had is I found the soles to differ from one another by almost 2 mm! I thought they would be identical. I will make a how to soon!

I LOVE the long plates. I cannot fall forward now. I cant wait to drop in with more confidence. I am ordering my wider trucks from Lisa Monday! One thing she told me was to drill a front, then rear hole then go from there. Worked great! Getting the holes straight was actually easy.

So far only tested them on an asphalt parking lot. Just mild hills. They skate BEAUTIFLLY though!! But I think Wed. my foot will be good enough to go on the ramps! :-D Finally...... They were so smooth though. The hard wheels felt like soft ones even on the uneven ground since the plate was so long.

I ordered the ramp trucks today too. :-D I'm sooo excited. Man, now I will NEVER fall lol. I can fly, land, be crazy and keep on rollin. These are super skates!!
