My new set up
: : : As many of you know, I have been trying to come up with some sort of plate set up. My plates are not designed for to incorporate double sliders so I thought of an idea and realized I think like Tim Altic. lol I mentioned a while back that I wanted to attach UHMW plastic to a jump bar to make it stronger and closer to the coping. Because I have no tools or talent, I went to a plastic Fab shop and had them cut and drill the plastic to my jump bar. I just got it back today and put them on. I have not skated on them yet, but am including pics.

: : nice job! let us know how it works. i think the plastic on top will make them strong enough but i might still agree w/ irene. i found the width for ME to not be too stable. there is less to balance on. i believe lisa is redoing her grindbars tho. i'm not sure if she took our suggestion to have them clasp.
:
: also, before u roll, make sure u can rock the trucks w/out the plastic rubbing. if it does, take a mm off the ends.

I like this invent,a friend of mine (JULIO MEMBA) he maked something similar. thanks for your idea

:
With those plates, you can use Rollergirls grindbars, which are wider and stronger. Daniel uses this same Suregrip setup and had modified them the same way by attaching plastic over the bar. This setup has the bar set lower, closer to the floor and is more stable due to its width.
Glad you got something working for your skates.

also, before u roll, make sure u can rock the trucks w/out the plastic rubbing. if it does, take a mm off the ends.

 Thanks for sharing your ideas.
i would prefer to make it closer to the truck level. I mean closer to the floor without exceed the truck. It would make it more unstable on the copping but easier to slide.
Hope you don't mind my sincerity.
Cheers.
