It’s great. Colors are planned, just need to nail down the design

This shit is so bomb, digging through the history of rollerblading and modernizing the artifacts that you find.

I just ordered a pair..can't wait to pop em on my non ufs salomon frames

Oh that's cool. I had no clue there was a team, so I just checked them out. I always had the impression that you brought back the company for the sole purpose of having the Balance frames back on the market, but apparently you have a few things cooking. Kudos!

Yep! It’s pretty low key, but I’ve met some amazing like minded skaters and want to support them.

I had the original ones. Just on the left as never negatived on the left. The sound n speed was awesome. I still have the left one. The groove is awesome! Only used for about 2 years, 20 years ago!😁

We used to make our own back in the day before the senate came out. Had soul plates made from skate board rails shaped with a heat gun. Love your channel mate!

I had those Senate plates! Man, I miss my old Salomon ST1's. Edit: Lending them to a "friend" is when I learned to never let someone borrow something.

Do these aluminium grind plates do any damage to copings? I always had mental images of them shaving off a little bit of metal when you grind with the sound it makes.

@@transfiguration8865 True enough! That said, I've seen copings get destroyed at local parks by BMX pegs and skateboard trucks. (Likely poor materials and poor build quality in the park though, to be fair).

@@2napoleon6 , Yes, coping will get destroyed by pegs from BMXrs. Pegs destroy everything, especially curbs. We had a skatepark in my hometown, and BMXrs weren't allowed in it, because of their pegs. I never saw any coping get destroyed by skateboarders or rollerbladers, but the second a BMXer is allowed in, the coping is destroyed in a few days. It's the very reason why they were banned form the skatepark, because constant repairs are just too expensive to let them in.

So i found in my childhood skatepark recently a BNIB pair of Senate metal grindplates, can I just throw these on any ufs frame, or do I have to get the Dremel out?

Not sure if they’ll fit on any modern frames. I think the 50/50 Balance might work, but most modern frames have wider splits

Clang!! haha great sound. you might want to consider using hydration tablets (i use a brand called science in sport (sis) GO tablets ) but they might not be available in US. dont use them all the time. if its an intense workout day. (2 miles skate, 3 miles walk, 40 mins cardio.( before breakfast) then another 2.5 miles walk) if i have the tablet in water during the cardio, about 20 mins i can feel the difference and my energy is up again for another 90s mins its worth trying out. probably about $9 or $10 for a tube of 20 in various flavours. i'm 46 yrs old and it works for me. it isnt like a caffiene buzz or anything, just revitalised. all the best

I’m wondering about the thickness of that aluminum grindplate which looks very impressive & I agree it sounds awesome, like the cool sound of cowboys’ spurs in movies. But my question is when you start sliding & the plate makes contact is there a noticeable bump? Also, I think they would look fabulous if anodized. 👍☮️🌞

Check my latest video, I’m skating the black anodized production version. They’re 1/4” which is a good balance.

Will I need longer axle bolts for the grind plates?

Nope! I don’t. They use the threaded side and fit perfectly. Will be testing to see if they fall out though.

You have Right, Because for Street Beton Spots... 🤔😁👍

Why not try steel rather than aluminum? Thin, without being pressed against any plastic and free to resonate. The sound. Actual grinding. Everything else is just sliding.

That's Maybe Cool for Park and Rails but Not for Street Riding with Beton Ledges or Kurbs ! You can't to Slide on Beton Just with Wax ! For Me it's Fun One Time for Park, but wenn You Come to a Street Spot with Alu-Spacers , You Destroy the Kurbs and Others Riders are for Sure not Happy ! 😉😂
