YES!! Great advice to check the Axis pin often! Mine fell out the 2nd time I skated, luckily I wasn’t doing anything major. No damage done, but now I check every time I put my skates on.
I would appreciate your update when you get your new boot. Also since the king pin does not rest on the cushions and absorbs a little of the floor surface, does the Arius ride feel the surface a little more. Especially with a hard wheel. Also tell us more about sizing. I hear they may run a little long.
I love these videos. Thanks for your honest and professional opinion based on years of experience rather than just trying to sell the prettiest skate. Quality and comfort matter most for best performance. Keep 'em coming TJ!
Great video. Especially when covering the angle of steering since there is no real king pin. I'm 53 and an old school rubber legger from my teenage years. I just got back into it and have some skates I grabbed up cheap second hand, and hate these new angles. I grew up on XK4"s single action 45 speed skate plates. I've been looking at the Avenger 45's and behold you have those as well. But I do want to go with a standard mount, and not a short forward or sport. You've definitely sold me on one these two. I do like my trucks loose. More than most.
I just got this Plate and have the moxi fundae wheels on my set up. I feel like the wheels come a little close to the trucks. Have you experienced issues with what wheel sizes you can use and not use? Should I have to maybe use washers to help provide some more space. 🤔
7000 series is more expensive than 6000, 7000 is much stronger… I’m wondering if the “heat treat” refers to the temper, like 6061-T6 aluminum (aka “air craft grade”, but also the most common) or if they actually had them heat treated prior to final machining. I was actually thinking of machining my own plates (with a similar design) using 6000 series for testing and final version out of 7075 or 7050 just for funzies…
Is there any reason not to mount these to a set of sure grip boardwalks? I love those boots, but I'm wondering if it would make more sense to use a stiffer boot with these plates.
Would these be an ok beginner plate? I'm concerned with the 45 degree angle vs 16 degree angle ( stability), but tired of trying to find the magic king pin adjustment.
Of course! You can tighten the trucks down to kill out some of the action and eventually loosen them from there, gradually increasing your steering depth
I just received mine today. the box had already been open, with the plates not in their plastic wraps. Everything looked new and clean. most of the cushions had come out of spots where they rested in the foam. As seen in his unboxing above. I'm going to guess, that someone opened the box and kept the cushions. Like a customer that bought it, took the cushions, then returned it for a refund. Not expecting the store employee to notice. Sorry that happened to you. You can buy a box for $20. Each box comes with 8 halves.
750 for a standard mount, 725 for a sport mount. 750 will be ok, but 725 will have a faster reaction and slightly increased control. If it was my setup, I'd do 725, pushed forward about 3-4 millimeters from the back of the boot. Makes jamskating so much easier, especially spins on both the heels and the toes
THANK YOU for a most excellent review....... going to be my b-day present. I've used the Synder Imperial -- looking for that 45 degree angle !!!

Me too! I run my trucks VERY loose!

How are the plates treating you? Trying to decide between these and the Roll Line Dance plates for rhythm skating.
These are great for rhythm skating! I've had the roll-line dance and this is about 100 grams lighter

I just those the antik package for like 699 but paid 425
I had the red ones. I hated them but they were also way too long. This is a great video though, I learned things. 😁

Absolutely do it!
I love my arius platinum plates

Awesome! Can you make a video demonstrating the adjustments that can be made to this plate? How is the plate holding up and do you still like it?
@@1crafter2another love it!
So I purchased the arius plate and but I didn’t receive all the different cushions. Was yours the regular $379?
They sure were, that's the first time I've heard about the cushions not coming with though

@@rollerskateuniverse6763 any suggestions on what size proline to use on a 10 1/2 boot? Don't no if the 750 is to big..
