Hmmm... are the A-sides considered 2003 or 2004? I can NOT wait for the A-sides. Waiting for them is driving me nuts with anticipation. It will be a lot easier than rolling with my Heel like wheelbarrows and such. Has anyone thought of this -- You know how the Heely Macks are, right? Side wheels on the heel with the A-sides. That'd be awesome to have. Oh, and yeah this is Jordan T. New name for new slate.

A-sides weren't made in 2003, so why would they be considered "2003" soaps..?

Jordan, making a new name (a gay one at that) is not going to help you get a clean slate.

Considering the A-sides were always slated to come out in 2004, I'd call it a 2004 model. Although I am not quite sure on other models, but it seem's doubtful right now.

Jordan, you'd need to die and be reborn to get a new slate as far as I'm concerned

Also, Macks + A-sides = fucking stupid idea. If you want to do that shit just rollerblade

He has a new site also.

What's the plate for the A-sides supposed to be like? I'm assuming that's the reason for all of this anticipation, or is there some other reason?

Jan 27, 2004Wesker

Yes. The A-sides are like the Broadside's (Cross-directional plates) only improved. So you can do sole plated grinds.

In the videos section is the st.louis demo. I beleive Derek uses the A-side's a few times in it.

Woah, I had no idea that the plate on the T-bones was so deep. The A-sides had better be like that cause the Broadsides are an asshole

Jan 28, 2004PurplePandas

Bah, I still hope that they make the A-side/Mack combination. I think it's a brilliant idea, and I do have skates, but I just don't enjoy them like I enjoy Heeling. I am so happy that they come out around my birthday!!!

Jan 28, 2004Wesker

Not so sure if Derek is wearing a prototype or not but the official release T-bone's are not that deep (Although a lil deeper then the Broadsides). Here are some comparison pictures with the Broadside's for you.

BTW I do hope the A-side's are more like the T-bone's. It's a very solid shoe. Also if you need any other angles or comparison shot's don't hesitate to ask.

Jan 28, 2004Greg

the single major problem with these type of shoes: the spot where the orginal grindplate meets the lengthwise one. if you do a lot of the tricks along the soul (like you should be doing if you bought these shoes) the orgianl grindplate area gets a hope along the center of it, which eventable slows you down becuase there is less of a surface area for you to grind on. i doubt there is anyway to fix this problem, just giving you somthing to think about.

Jan 28, 2004Mart

Smaller surface area = less friction = more speed. From what you said Greg, an xgrind on a pair of skates would be faster than a frontside cause the soul plates are much longer than the two tiny hblocks

jesus fucking christ. there is rubber that hits the rail on the soul plate soapshoes. frames are made of plastic, so they slide too. its that fucking simple, i forgot how anal everyone here is about the most minor detail.

Feb 2, 2004Mart

what the fuck? You didn't even fucking say that Greg; you said they were slow cause of a smaller surface area and now you say it's cause you hit rubber. Make up your fucking mind
