Air dolphin I just want to say I am such a fan you are humble and so positive about life and I just want to say the need for role models like you is severely understated.

[@Habeev07]

Those 5th element cuffs totally make that skate imo. love how you color matched the wheels to it. 10/10 mod.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Haha, love the drill sound effects. Never seen skates ripped apart before! Pretty cool and can definitely hear a difference afterwards.

Who saw the raccoon 🦝??

Back in the 90s I couldn't afford good skates, I used foam flip flops for insoles and still wore 2 pairs of socks, completely removed the two inner wheels and bolted on a piece of steel c channel

You remind me of an air gear character. I remember when i would read the manga they got so into modding the skates One of the reasons i love skating so much. You can make them your own beast and then put them to action the way you want. Its so freeing!

[@airdolphin]

Love Me a good ole mod!!

[@pevenmadilaneysmitt8462]

Last video was 6 Months ago. Make more videos dude, your videos bring back the best memories

[@leser1music]

This video has me wondering if Standard soul plates would fit on tnec

[@airdolphin]

Go for it hahaha. its a huge toe box on the tnec so I doubt it but I really don’t know for sure

[@airdolphin]

I tried a bunch of souls nothing did btw

[@leser1music]

@@airdolphin fair enough g. I'll take your word for it. I keep hearing good things about the tnec, so I might give them a go as they are. The standard soul plate is so good, but the boot is a bit uncomfortable so i keep thinking of what other boots the soul might fit on.

[@joshcontreras8821]

Maybe if you got a flat soul adapter since boot is raised heel

[@chrisvillanueva1691]

Love those fluro green wheels! reminds me of my old malibus haha

[@Hdtjdjbszh]

drilling out rivets really takes me back to being a kid and trying to get my skates to last forever!

[@airdolphin]

I did Roces streets into m12s as a kid

[@kordel_alcorn_white]

Sounds way better with the dampening !

[@7AURA7]

These came out clean! I recently bought some fifth elements in really good condition but the buckle strap snapped, this tutorial will come in handy. Do you know if the new roces buckle would work? Seems like they would fit

[@airdolphin]

I would replace it place it with a razors style plastic buckle

[@7AURA7]

@airdolphin Will do, much appreciated!

[@gleebybooer]

I like the beige/black color scheme you did it looks way better

[@airdolphin]

They should def make a white cuff or beige cuff. This is a 27 year old roces cuff is so faded but looks so good

[@stuco]

They should put a sound dampener in there from the factory. The riveted cuff and soulframe are good things IMO.

[@iRollerboot]

great video homie!

[@airdolphin]

Thanks buddy I’m Trying to be more like you and post more !!

@airdolphin even an old shirt tied around your face or something, just to stop the fine dust getting in your lungs! I think most people have old shirts they could use for this kinda thing, props on the safety glasses n stuff tho man that's a more immediate danger for sure, I got a metal chip/shaving in my eye once that was NOT fun!

The fact that Dolph did this shows the TNEC just don't cut it. Personally don't rate the TNEC at all being even a good skate. SO much better on the market for the same price but so much better quality.

[@airdolphin]

They are a good skate I just wanted to experiment. Plus they fit better than the them skates for me. I usually have to cut holes in the side of the boot and drill out the whole front of the toe box of them skates but these have a much wider toe box. Also I put sound Dampener on every skate I have. even if they came with a foam pad on the souls I would probably still add more for a shock absorber effect.

[@LaLa4iZ]

@@airdolphin The foam idea is a great one, even for most skate. I am guessing you have either big feet or wide feed. Me I have super small feet of UK 4.5 so I pray for smaller skates lol. I do agree Them are hit or miss. I like mine but the soulplate is meh lol
