New Slider Plates for my New SK8s! .......also only 3 Weeks til RollerCon SK8 Park Tour!!!!!
: Yes, I saw this post. You got me probably at exactly same time I got you. So????
: What's your opinion of the HMWP SK8s????I'm curious.....

I think you are right. We did hit each other simultaneously.

As to my thoughts, the slider plates could be longer. Gaps between the sliders and the trucks provide a spot that can hang up. I personally, also like a solid slider plate. The cap between the two bars of uhmw will cause the two 'side wall' sliders to actually work a bit against one another as they vibrate from friction. It also provides another area that could potentially catch on something.

That being said, I think they are a fantastic back up pair of skates for emergencies! Now you have me thinking of back up skates.....just in case.

Hows that?
