Air Dolphin upgraded his TNEC skates, here is the full process. TNEC: The New Everything Company.
This is a rather difficult mod, it takes a couple hours. The project difficulty is a 8/10. 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. 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 :) 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. - Air Dolphin.
This tutorial shows you how to install the Them Flat Sole Adapter kits on your 908 or 909 boots. This adapter and optional hardware can be purchased here.
This sole plate-to-boot adapter allows you to use just about any flat sole plate on a Them 909 or 908 boot. Because of the boot’s raised heel design, most sole plates will not fit without modification.
This kit is designed specifically for Them 908 and 909 boots. It will not work well (if at all) for the Razors Cult boots, Roces M12/5th Element boots, USD Sway boots, etc.
The adapter attaches to the heel of the boot using the stock Them sole plate hardware. You will then need to drill holes in the boot shell with a 5/16”(8mm) drill bit to install UFS receptors. You can use your own standard UFS hardware or I offer hardware kits on this page so that you can get everything you need in one place. - Justin Thursday.
I have always wanted to try putting Adapt soul plates on my Them Skates. Finally I gave it a try. This video shows how I put them together and how it turned out. Huge shout out to FruitTech hardware, Oak City Skate Shop and Adapt Brand for the support and great customer service! - JADRollerVlog (Youtube).
Justin Thursday came with an interesting design, he replaced the middle wheel slot of a Powerslide Trinity frame by a 3d printed h-block he designed. More goodies on Justin Thursday’s Youtube Channel.
