so i’ve been puzzling whit some old Finberg classic throne’s some days now. the plan is to make them SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT!!.

so the remolded skate weighs ca. 1 kg.
and the almost standard skate weighs 1,4 kg.

and at the moment i am working on molding som new custom soulplates to them too..

heres some pics of the project:

the custom skate are fitting so nicely!!!

hope you’ll enjoy it ;)

PS. hope to get some feedback on them! :P

ROLL4LIFE.

psychotmpo: i did much of sandpapering and cutting whit hobby knife… i removed the metalrings where the laces are going thrue.

but i am still making some small details on the boot. and for the soulplates im going too do a one piece soulsystem. hopefully lighter then the old soulplates :P

Skater_For_Life: haha thanks mate.

Whats up with the hole in the back?

Anyways, you’ve brought me a nice custom idea; I’m quite handy with fiberglass molding and I might try to make a boot suitable for razors plates with fiberglass. Although I don’t expect it to be as flexible as normal plastic.

FlareXII: its a cosmetic detail and for putting down weight…

how much would that whole project run you with supplies and all?

im not sure? only the first skate is done, so i don’t know yet.

why? :)

ROLL4LIFE.

that cuff mod – does it offer more flex?

Vcut cuffs; it is said they have more flex then their “higher” brothers.

yes they are way better now!

ROLL4LIFE.

I just want to know….. I mean id love to have that done to my skate.

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."

heh okay :P maybe il make a post on how too do it..

ROLL4LIFE.

please do.

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."

i did this to mine recently with my friend stanley

knife! and the main changes i made where

removed a bit of the toecap like nihms for whatever i did it for
got rid of the metal rings like frank did
v cut down to the round logo, looks amazing, cut out top laceholes and cut a triangle at the frond for more inward flex

"What you gonna do, kill me with your soupcup?" "Teacup actually" "What's that?" "I'll kill you with my teacup"

How bout u just get some leg muscles?

imean f**K. I have deshi spizers with a flat setup, these things are like tanks, but I can still jump in them.

Outkast: its just for the fun of it. i hope too become a designer one day an design skates, so nothing to do whit leg muscles.

ROLL4LIFE.

my shins are like 8 cm thick of muscle, so im fine in that department- when i was 7-11 i was mad on bmxing and so legs got very muscly for age. if just modding mide to make them a bit for personalised, and feel like a pair of skates made of feathers

"What you gonna do, kill me with your soupcup?" "Teacup actually" "What's that?" "I'll kill you with my teacup"

Frank, save up for a plunge router and a cheap small drill press and some pieces of umhw and make some sould for them.

By the looks of my night souls thats hwo they make theirs.

I made my Deshi souls faster by using a countersink drill bit and drilled out circles in the bottom of the plates which may have reduced friction.
