Upgrading the New TNEC skates (Fixing Clack and Turning Phat)

- This is a rather difficult mod it takes a couple hours. The project difficulty is a 8/10. If you have any questions put them in the comments. I’m going to make a more detailed review soon. You can get the three-quarter inch screws at Home Depot and most skate shops sell razor hardware for the soul plates. Rollerblade blank hardware worked for the front six screws as well. I’ve been skating for a long time, I like Skates that have a solid thud sound. I use those clacking Sounds to diagnose if anything is malfunctioning. I still think this is a great skate for someone who has a wide foot and for someone who doesn’t want to worry about losing parts while skating. Also it’s perfect for beginners or really any skill level. I have to put foam pads and tape in every pair of skates I use, including them skates for clack sounds, so this isn’t a dig a tnec. I wanted to show everybody the modifications that I make because I do them often and I don’t film it. If you guys want to see more of these type of videos, let me know please, thanks for wathcing!!
*full disclosure TNEC sent these skates to me huge huge thank you to TNEC I’m very grateful for these skate finally I don’t have to drill out the toe box for my wide foot. 😃
Please Check them out on ig. @tnecskate
Lasty I could not get any other soul plate on the skate. razor cult 1 piece, themskate, sway. None of those would work maybe a modern day Roces fifth element/Valo plate could fit.
This guy is a rollerblading national treasure. We must preserve him at all costs.
Thanks homie !!!
I thought the Proper Term was "inline Skating"
@@Sproutt it’s all fine
@@Sproutt Rollerblading, blading inline skating, roller freestyle (I think FISE calls it). It's all good :)
@@Kj16V rolling....
Who saw the raccoon 🦝??
Hakoons don't exist, that was a government drone, they are sent to take photos of ours buttholes for escusos propósitos...
Those 5th element cuffs totally make that skate imo. love how you color matched the wheels to it. 10/10 mod.
My firts pair was a 5th Element they was great. Know I'm on ST ninety. This DIY tuto is very cool 👍 I love this retro style, perfect 👍
What color roces were they ???
@@airdolphin it's about 25 years ago so I'm not sure but for me they were all black.
Those Dom Sagona 2nd Regime wheels brought back memories
So rare theres no pics online of them
Back in the 90s I couldn't afford good skates, I used foam flip flops for insoles and still wore 2 pairs of socks, completely removed the two inner wheels and bolted on a piece of steel c channel
its called an h block nerd
@@evancervantes8796i don't think you get what he is saying
@@wayofthesamurai90 ok samuri
great video homie!
Thanks buddy I’m Trying to be more like you and post more !!
So sick!!!!
Thanks buddy!!
They should put a sound dampener in there from the factory. The riveted cuff and soulframe are good things IMO.
I love to skate but my wheels wear down way too fast
What wheels you using? Hard wheels?
@@rockmanfan5104 90A
ooooof these go CRAZY
Thank you !!!!!
These came out clean! I recently bought some fifth elements in really good condition but the buckle strap snapped, this tutorial will come in handy.
Do you know if the new roces buckle would work? Seems like they would fit
I would replace it place it with a razors style plastic buckle
@airdolphin Will do, much appreciated!
The extra tongue was more of a 2000’s trend rather than 90’s.
I did it in the 1990s
@@airdolphin fair enough!!
hey air dolphin, can you make a video that’s like “which skate is best for you” please
subbed
Ty!!!
👍🏾👍🏾
Why are all americans are so obsessed with Impact drills?
They kick a** haha

@@airdolphin Ice Age, it’s just a joke bro. U are cool guy, and I love ur vids 😎
@@Gaara7809 thanks g!!
@@Gaara7809bro I just googled that 😂😹
@@airdolphin 🤣🤣🤣 u crazy
The fact that Dolph did this shows the TNEC just don't cut it. Personally don't rate the TNEC at all being even a good skate. SO much better on the market for the same price but so much better quality.
They are a good skate I just wanted to experiment. Plus they fit better than the them skates for me. I usually have to cut holes in the side of the boot and drill out the whole front of the toe box of them skates but these have a much wider toe box. Also I put sound Dampener on every skate I have. even if they came with a foam pad on the souls I would probably still add more for a shock absorber effect.
@@airdolphin The foam idea is a great one, even for most skate. I am guessing you have either big feet or wide feed. Me I have super small feet of UK 4.5 so I pray for smaller skates lol. I do agree Them are hit or miss. I like mine but the soulplate is meh lol
@@LaLa4iZthat’s what I’m saying the soul plate on thems is not that fun
@@LaLa4iZyes I have super wide feet. 😂
Everything single thing you did to those poor blades made them worse imo...
New laces bro def made
Them better
@@airdolphin haha that's true
Yeah - kinda like buying a Tesla and putting a combustion engine in it.
Haha, love the drill sound effects. Never seen skates ripped apart before! Pretty cool and can definitely hear a difference afterwards.
Love u man, never stop vibin
Sounds way better with the dampening !
adding the tongue... diabolical lost knowledge
📠
You could make videos about legit anything and it would be sick
🫡🫡 thank you !!!
Cool video big dog 💪🏻 love seeing you tear into those. Has the light weight been a positive for you?
Over jumped tricks a couple times I love the weight
sweet hack dude! :)
This video has me wondering if Standard soul plates would fit on tnec
Go for it hahaha. its a huge toe box on the tnec so I doubt it but I really don’t know for sure
I tried a bunch of souls nothing did btw
@@airdolphin fair enough g. I'll take your word for it. I keep hearing good things about the tnec, so I might give them a go as they are. The standard soul plate is so good, but the boot is a bit uncomfortable so i keep thinking of what other boots the soul might fit on.
Maybe if you got a flat soul adapter since boot is raised heel
drilling out rivets really takes me back to being a kid and trying to get my skates to last forever!
I did Roces streets into m12s as a kid
I dont have any audio...
Reset device try that
I’m glad you got your own TH-cam channel, my brother.
Love those fluro green wheels! reminds me of my old malibus haha
Never heard of those, the color is dope though
You've helped inspire me to begin agg inline at the age of 28. Love the content man!
That's awesome buddy you have many years still to skate
Youre only allowed if you dress like air dolphin. Thems the rules.
👍🤟
I like the beige/black color scheme you did it looks way better
They should def make a white cuff or beige cuff. This is a 27 year old roces cuff is so faded but looks so good
You remind me of an air gear character. I remember when i would read the manga they got so into modding the skates
One of the reasons i love skating so much. You can make them your own beast and then put them to action the way you want. Its so freeing!
Love
Me a good ole mod!!
Que lindo seu trabalho muito obrigado pelo seu conteúdo eu sou brasileiro obrigado 🇧🇷
Thanks for being here !!
Id suggest a mask while using the dremmel, breathing in plastic dust aint it! Be safe and rock on folks!
Sometimes I do good call though I will every time moving forward
My only saving grace was i was out doors
I like the Jason mask 😂
@@HeadNtheClouds 💀
@airdolphin even an old shirt tied around your face or something, just to stop the fine dust getting in your lungs! I think most people have old shirts they could use for this kinda thing, props on the safety glasses n stuff tho man that's a more immediate danger for sure, I got a metal chip/shaving in my eye once that was NOT fun!

Thanks spook!!
