Grind plate opinions

[Skootpro607]

Hello every one. I wanted to know what peoples thoughts would be on an alumunim grind plate that my friend and I are going to make for the promodel within this spring. It would cover the entire bottom of the scooter and make breaking scooters a thing of the past for the most part. So im open to any opinion out there.

 

[MikeyBeamer]

i think it would just weigh it down, but i dont know...

 

[Skootpro607]

not by much were talking maybe 1 pound 2 max. not much for never griding the metal on ur scooter down again.

 

[brandon kilbury]

the scooter is made out of aluminum..thats like making a wood grind plate for a skateboard

 

[Jake Carlyon]

lawl

 

[Pete Pachota]

Umm just dont grind unwaxed ledges and there you go.

 

[Brian Boston]

Grinding a waxed ledge still grinds the aluminum down... I say put them plasic grind things that used to be on old ass skateboards on there. Im not sure how plastic slides on ledges though.

 

[Dylan Kasson]

yea brian thats what I do you dont have to wax curbs with the old school plastic grind things for skateboards anything that is unwaxed will slide which means less time waxing try them out

 

[brandon kilbury]

find out what knowped grindplates are made out of, because those things are insane..they slide unwaxed curbs like a waxed up box

 

[Dylan Kasson]

dude thats what im talking about those rails are the same as knowped grindplates

 

[Miles Quirk]

yeah the skateboard rails are just like the knowped grindplates, jsut get some of those, theyd be so fast

 

[Skootpro607]

yo dylan how do you put those on???

 

[Steezeman]

Are you talking about the black grindplates on knowpeds/xpeds? Those things do slide so fast.

 

[jazmatazz]

[brandon kilbury]

you wouldnt on a scooter...they are for knowped/gopeds, which have decks like twice the size of scooters

 

[Steezeman]

Haha yeah the grindplate would be wider and longer than the deck, not to mention it'd probably slide while going straight much less turning.

Im gonna check in my garage tomorrow and see if i still have these oldschool skateboard decks my dad trashpicked for me like 5 years ago lol. They had the grind rails on them.

 

[jazmatazz]

doesnt the new reinforced bullet have a grind plate thing?

 

[tpersons311]

im making a delrin grind plate in a day or so when i get the stuff so u can easily grind any unwaxed ledge only weighs like 1/2 a pound

 

[tunney]

i think it would just weigh it down, but i dont know...

oww from 4 lbs to 6 owwww

but ya a knowped grind plate cut down to fit a razor or micro would be sick it would make it a bit stronger/heavier but who cares about 1 pound and we could slide enything easyly
