I love the feel and sound of grinding metal on metal. The Akerue frames were amazing, and I wanted to see if aluminum grind plates would offer a similar feeling. So I made some samples and went to the mini ramp to test them.

As soon as I heard the grindplates hit the coping, my memorie brought me back in my teen years.

@BacktoBlading 5 лет назад

Ha! Success!

@justgarethsphone9663 5 лет назад

i love that sound

@BacktoBlading 5 лет назад

Feels good too

Hahah, yeah. I’m pretty happy

@Cdrme23 3 года назад

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

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!

@BacktoBlading 5 лет назад

Nice! DIY is the best

@spidachan1 5 лет назад

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!😁

@hungrydoggamer2906 5 лет назад

@Danielson1818 5 лет назад

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!

@BacktoBlading 5 лет назад

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

@torinmartinez4331 4 года назад

Love it! Any 50/50 aluminum frames coming in the future? Also does anyone make aluminum soul plates these days?

@purplepill1478 3 года назад

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?

@BacktoBlading 3 года назад

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

@purplepill1478 3 года назад

@@BacktoBlading yeah im looking at getting 50/50, but dont know if you need longer bolts or not

@hikraze 5 лет назад

Nice skating with you at woodward brother

@secretdaisy6484 4 года назад

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. 👍☮️🌞

@BacktoBlading 4 года назад

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

@Axle_grinds 5 лет назад

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 5 лет назад

If the trucks on a skateboard wont destroy the coping, I don't see how aluminum grind plates are going to hurt it.

@Axle_grinds 5 лет назад

@@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).

@transfiguration8865 5 лет назад

@@Axle_grinds , 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.

@CaseyJonasCatt Год назад

can i put grind plates on a normal inline skate?

@BacktoBlading Год назад

Yes, usually. Depends on the frame and where they would mojnt

@CaseyJonasCatt Год назад

@@BacktoBlading ok, thank you, i took off the middle wheels on mine, and am thinking of getting some. (i think they are recreatinal skates, or urban skates, i don't know)

@CaseyJonasCatt Год назад

@@BacktoBlading can i also ask, the grind plates i found online only have 2, so do i put one on each shoe, or would i have to buy 2 packs of 2?

Will I need longer axle bolts for the grind plates?

@BacktoBlading 5 лет назад

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

@g3attack 4 месяца назад

Does anyone make plates like this for recreational skates?❤❤❤

@BacktoBlading 4 месяца назад

Not that I’m aware

@klisher 5 лет назад

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

@BacktoBlading 5 лет назад

I’ll take a look. Thanks!

@ivangordy8957 5 лет назад

Do 10 soul stalls before grinding. Trust me! It works

@Huntingdownfakos 5 лет назад

Houston Blader yes ! Muscle memory. And I try not to hang on the stall. As soon as it locks in I push back to the transition. Alamos like a tap. Are you having trouble on locking soul grinds on coping too?

@Huntingdownfakos 5 лет назад

Houston Blader keep rolling !! 🤘🏻

@Huntingdownfakos 5 лет назад

Houston Blader I went for a quick roll around the neighbourhood but started to rain. Need to clean up my bearings. Hopefully tonight it will be dry enough for a session!

@chadhenry5128 5 лет назад

@brettcameratraveler 3 года назад

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.

@DirtyNoiz84 5 лет назад

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

@DirtyNoiz84 5 лет назад

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 ! 😉😂

@BacktoBlading 5 лет назад

Agreed! They’re for coping, and easy to install with two bolts.
