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.

So I got to spend a good bit of time on the Trigger Jeff Dalnas Pro Boot, they are shaping up to be pretty good. Now there are some issues with them that I lightly touched on, but I will go over those in depth later on. I just wanted to give you all a little insight into how these are feeling after about a few hours in these boots.

If you are getting foot pain you may just need to struggle through it until the padding breaks in. So just stick with them. they are solid grinding skates and feel really nicely balanced. I hope that you guys have a good experience with these skates. I will post a more about them soon. - Vintage Roller (Youtube).
