I had trouble sizing these plates...I'd like to try them. Any way to give a measurement, measuring from axle to axle? Price and shipping to NYC? Has anyone ridden these?

thanks, irene

 Interesting link on a french retail site
Quite nice plates, with what appears to be holes for a slider.

 Sorry, just found another one on the same site.
Geared towards 'street' with a slider

Starway in Switzerland also has sliders. They attach to the kingpins, however. My street skates are from Starway and I have their sliders. While I like the skates, I'm not that happy with the sliders. They don't work too well and when a stone gets caught between slider and wheel the skate can block in a very nasty way.

You could try emailing eric@hawaiisurf.com
Be aware though that his english is very fragmented. I asked him if they would consider adding english to the site but he says it's not in the plan for now.
