You are jamming dawg!!!!. Nice video. I'm going to mount some plates. Now I know how to center the plate without having to have that square thingy. Thanks Bruh.
Nice, you can't really mess it up. After a few laps you will be use to your new alignment no matter how off lol... I swapped a pair of shoes out in 15 minutes once.. literally slapped them together. Still skating them years later hahah
Should the plate be metal or composite material would be fine ? Screws aren’t going to rip out without some type of metal or fiberglass insole ? I would only use them for rhythm skating .
You can get a small L shaped screw driver but i use a philips head drill bit and vice grips or channel locks. Stick it in the shoe and tighten the bolt from the bottom of the plate. I think i show it in the video.
Thank you. Yeah sure will. You would do the exact same way. Unless the traditional skates have rivets instead of bolts. I'll try to find some old ones to slap together! )

Hello from Germany. I want to upcycle old skates to vans skates. Do you think it's possible to put the plate of the old skates and install them on the vans? Or do i have to buy a new plate?
I am literally editing a how to old skates turned new as we speak. Should be done by the weekend. here is the before and after pics :) instagram.com/p/BxgjDSOnXHF/?igshid=rezql1jf5i28
Hey man thanks for the tutorial, just curious why you chose not to use a metal insert? I’ve noted many videos include that step, but a fellow rink rat told me that he did his skates the same way you are, with washers and he had no issues. Either way is okay?
Yeah no need for metal insert. It's overkill unless you're skating on outdoor skate parks. You may need to add some extra pad for comfort depending on your weight though.
Definitely going to make me a pair of these! One question, when looking at plates I came across the Sure-grip Rock Plates which are nylon instead of aluminum. Have you had any experience with the Rock Plates? Just wondering if I should stick with the aluminum Super x or try the nylon Rock Plates?
FreeFly Denny thanks for the reply! Just ordered all my stuff about an hour ago! One more question, what size drill bit do you use for drilling the holes in the shoes?
Nice video! question without a solid plate under the insole will the rubber on the shoe sole eventually wear out or will it last for quite a while? Thank you in advance! Best, Greg
I’ve remounted plenty of skate boots with leather soles before. Been studying your videos and trying to determine whether I should build a fiberglass insole or not. I see you didn’t with this particular set, but you did for another. What is your criteria in making this determination? Also, I’ve seen spacers used to alleviate bolt pressure to the plate in other videos. My question may be premature as I’ve not seen the shoe I plan on customizing yet, but they are old school Muffy Saddle Shoes. I guess it all depends on how robust the sole is. I don’t plan skating aggressively in them, just smooth two-step session skating. Your advice is appreciated!
@@bonacheeta I’m not mounting Vans, but a saddle shoe. The fiberglass seems easy enough to make, so I’ll do it anyway. On his Stacy Adams, I didn’t see the additional insole. Likely leather soles. I have a feeling that the saddle shoes will be rubber soled, but saddle shoes tend to be a very stiff shoe. Hoping it’ll be like a Vanilla skate boot. We shall see!
@@GenXrCist669 oh that should work! I meant for the vans and any other floppy rubber sole sneaker build would need an insole. I did cowboy boots with a sewn hard sole without using an insole and they seem pretty stable.
Thought about it some more...I don’t see why it can’t hurt to reinforce the outsole just under the plates with fiberglass as well...I’ll be careful to keep it tidy and unseen. Kinda excited about this project!
So I'm planning on converting some hi top classic vans into outdoor skates, I enjoy jumping around and being more active, do you think the mounting cup method will hold up to the abuse? If not any suggestions other than a typical aluminum re-enforcing plate?
The mounting cups should hold up but the problem is you will feel the plate on the bottom of your foot if you land hard enough. I would recommend reinforcing it for anything other than rink skating. Use the fiberglass in the other video I posted. Easy to make , comfortable and lightweight.
It all depends on your weight. I am 165 lbs and don't need a plate at all with vans or stacy adams shoes. I have friends that are over 200 lbs and they do need a plate because their foot hurts from the skate underneath. Try them without a plate and see how they feel. You can add a plate later if you need to.
So, if I’m using vans then do I need to make the fiberglass insole like in the older video you made vans skates in, or can I get by without it like in this video. Did you do it this way because its the pro version?
It depends on your weight and where you are skating. If you are outdoor skating on ramps and stuff you will definitely need the insert. Otherwise you will bruise your feet. If you rink skate like me you don't need the insert. Im 165 lbs and totally fine without one on any shoes. If you rink skate and are over 200lbs you will probably need the insert as well. If i were you make them without and try them out. If you think you need them put one in. Most likely you won't need them
I don't have much experience with outdoor wheels but I do know you need a softer wheel. I hear good things about Moxi wheels. When looking for wheels just remember the higher the number the harder the wheel the lower the number the softer the wheel. Example 98A is a hard wheel 78A is a soft wheel.
Yes, if you are using shoes I would prefer the nylon being that they are lighter. If you are using a boot skate then you could go either way. I'm a classic plate guy myself though
The competitor has a jump bar and a different toe stop connection. Thats all i can see thats visible. Not sure on how they skate but I can't tell the difference when I jump from classic plates to rock plates. All feels the same to me.
The vans are not real comfortable if you weigh over 170 lbs and up. You can feel the plate on you foot. I'm 165 and am fine but have made skates for people that are 190 and it hurt their foot. If you use a shoe with a harder sole , no problems at all.
It depends, if you are using a shoe with a hard sole like stacy Adams, no you do not need one. If you are using a regular tennis shoe for the rink you dont need one depending on how much you weigh. Im 170 and dont need one. if you are skating outdoors and jumping around you would need to put one in. Its more of a comfort thing so the bottom of your foot isn't feeling the plate.
Did you make these without any reinforcement inside? I watched your video where you made fiberglass for added support and am curious if that’s a must or optional. Looking to make some mostly for cruising around, but perhaps a ramp at some point.
You don't need the insert if you are just rink skating. If you are jumping around outdoors I would put one in. You will feel that plate on your foot pretty good if you land hard enough. You can always make them without and add it later if needed though
@@starandswords hahaha thanks. Don't worry they dont have to be perfect. You will get use to them no matter how off you are. The fucked up one always end up being my favorites lol
FreeFly Denny you rock! Thank you so much again for your experience and info! Just bought new skate hi pros and am seeking out someone in my area with shop tools.
It's most likely the trucks or truck. They could be too tight. Loosen the kingpin which is the center bolt and put your weight in the opposite direction. Do 1/4 turn and test it. Repeat until it's gone. I keep my trucks very loose, almost falling off. Yours sound too stiff and tight
Thanks brotha! Dont waste your time and money, go straight to fibers if you want to slide! you will be fine if you take it slow. Trust me. The only reason I put woods on these is because I had them laying around and these are just my back up skates. My stacy adams with fibers are what I roll most all of the time. Any questions let me know
@@SnowmansApartment i screwed up many of my first skates, my first pair is still my favorite and they are not centered at all. You will get use to them, You really can't go wrong
They are strong enough, ive never had an issue with them popping off . if you are over 180lbs or ramp skating outdoors i would put one in just so you don't hurt the bottom of your foot.

Where did you get the mounting washers I could only find cup washers at Home Depot and lowes
www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/hapages/nas549washers2.php
Size 10.... this is the one place you can buy them
Should the plate be metal or composite material would be fine ? Screws aren’t going to rip out without some type of metal or fiberglass insole ? I would only use them for rhythm skating .
The metal are too heavy for me. I rather the composite. No insole needed. The screws will not rip out if you have the correct washers
I seen aluminium plates being used inside the shoe does those metal washers work just as well I'm about to do this to my skates with my jordans.
I'm not a fan of the plates, unless you are park/ ramp skating outdoors you don't need them.
Question,to tighten the toe area bolts did u have to use a small screwdriver that fit into shoe to tighten?
You can get a small L shaped screw driver but i use a philips head drill bit and vice grips or channel locks. Stick it in the shoe and tighten the bolt from the bottom of the plate. I think i show it in the video.
Amazing videos! Thank you. Would you ever do a video on taking plates off of traditional dance boots to use for something like this?
Thank you. Yeah sure will. You would do the exact same way. Unless the traditional skates have rivets instead of bolts. I'll try to find some old ones to slap together! )

Question regarding the mounting cups. Where exactly do they go? I have all my parts ready, I just need clarification on this part
They go on the bolt like a washer inside the shoe. The purpose is so the bolt doesn't rip through the shoe.
Where did you purchase yours ?
What about wheels for like sidewalks cuz that’s all i have but i want to go back into skating
I don't have much experience with outdoor wheels but I do know you need a softer wheel. I hear good things about Moxi wheels. When looking for wheels just remember the higher the number the harder the wheel the lower the number the softer the wheel. Example 98A is a hard wheel 78A is a soft wheel.
also what size shoe is that and what size plate did you buy
Notice you didn't put a steel or aluminum insert Is it not necessary
Do you think it’s okay to dance/ Rhythm skate in a nylon plate like the sure grip rock plate?
Yes, if you are using shoes I would prefer the nylon being that they are lighter. If you are using a boot skate then you could go either way.
I'm a classic plate guy myself though
Where did you get the mounting cups??
Pilotshq.com or google tinnerman countersunk washers
FreeFly Denny thanks a lot. Keep the vids coming. You’re awesome
rollerskatenation.com/mounting-cup/1002986/
They have a few different size countersunk washers by Tinnerman. Which do you recommend?
So, is it not necessary to use metal plates inside the soles for support?
Nope
Can you tell me what the difference between the super X and the competitor plate is ,
The competitor has a jump bar and a different toe stop connection. Thats all i can see thats visible. Not sure on how they skate but I can't tell the difference when I jump from classic plates to rock plates. All feels the same to me.
So are they comfortable even without a metal sole under the sole?
The vans are not real comfortable if you weigh over 170 lbs and up. You can feel the plate on you foot. I'm 165 and am fine but have made skates for people that are 190 and it hurt their foot.
If you use a shoe with a harder sole , no problems at all.

It depends, if you are using a shoe with a hard sole like stacy Adams, no you do not need one. If you are using a regular tennis shoe for the rink you dont need one depending on how much you weigh.
