I used to own the '99 team thrones, they were army green. You're right about the tumor plates, they have weird alignment for backslide tricks. I used to wear down my tumor plates all the time and the first area that would crack would be towards the center where you pointed out.. Anyway, pretty cool review on a pair of classic thrones. They still look dope!
Agreed! I have the Zoom 80s also and love them. Yeah think they feel real similar and look similar to thrones. The closest thing we’ll get to a throne reissue would be a special edition Sway. I don’t think I’ll pursue skating thrones full time since the parts are so hard to find, but I’ll bring them out for special occasions.
Do it! It feels like skating did when we were kids. I have the newer soul plates for mine, but didn’t install them because it added so much extra weight and wanting to keep these stock. But if I find a newer boot I’ll likely install them.
Keep on rockin..definitely enjoying watching y'alls driveway sessions.
Thank you 🙏 we always have a good time!
Whoa what a flash from the past! Fun to watch. Thanks! 👊🏻
Thanks Buddy! They sure are!
What a great find! Retro classics for sure - another great episode dude.
Thanks Buddy! Always wanted thrones, but bought Psirus’ instead. Thrones ftw 🙌
Wow. Original frames too!!! And the 2nd Regime. Sick!!!!!
Dude! They are so fun! I just wish I was a better skater so I could really put them through the paces.
@@BladerReboot hah. That doesn't matter. Just have fun with em!

Awesome! Dude, 99-01 had some iconic skates, for sure. Thanks for tuning in 🙏
OGs, still a really sharp looking skate. USD needs to reissue a Throne. I own the zoom 80 skate which is a throne boot.

I need to take them out for another spin once the snow dries up 😁
NICE! I never had chance top try the thrones back in the day! Perhaps I'll look around if I can find a pair on eBay to test!

Looks similar to the jon julio thrones I got my friend for 60 bones. Probably not the best starter skate for him but they didn't fit me!
Yup! I think Jon had a pro model the same year as these. Not the easiest to skate compared to newer skates but the feel so good on grinds.
