New Project: Thicker, Better BC plates With Grind plate!

[Evan Byrne]

Well, my old BC plates are beginning to bend, and I also ordered a
trials BC wheel so I needed some new plates, the new ones are basically
the same as the old ones just this time I used .083 wall thickness vs.
the old .035 .

I'm almost positive that these new ones WILL NOT bend, they are hella
thick.


Also I plan on grinding some handrails in my next movie so I decided to
toss on a grind plate because I doubt the bare plate would slide well,
if at all.

Trouble was I wanted something removable, but with the meal I had I
didn't see how I could make that work, so I took some 14G mild steel
and cut out a little grind plate...I had to settle for permanent
attachment, so I just tack welded the plate to the bottom of the
platform.

You should paint 'em, they have a really cool industrial look, but if
they were painted (well) they'd be awesomely professional. Then put
some grip tape over the parts where your feet would contact so you
don't wear the paint away on those parts from standing on it. Awesome
plates, if they even are that anymore.

I will consider making them forsale if someone woul dlike a pair. the
price will be hihg, around 80-90 US. They are extremly light, id say
about 1/2 pound each. Also if they are made out of the .083 they are
unbendable.

"doesn't the axle bolt destroy your ankles?"

"The axle looks like it would hit you in the ankles, too."

"but you probably could hurt your ankles "

"then the axle will totally rip open your ankle"


The axle as never once touched my ankles.

Yes, yes it did cut my finger open, it bled alot, and also i dont like
the fact that a 3" drop can flat spot it, i mean im nto good at truing
wheels but i think i did a ok job, and it still flat spoted on a 180
off a curb

Yeah, they are killer nice plates but for me to make them id have to
charge alot. the hard part is i dont own a mill, so i gota use my
freinds mill, and i gota set up a day ot use it and blah blah blah its
just hard.


no i cut my finger open doing a lil trie grab move, and i jsut grabed
the rim and i looked down and my finger was spewing blood.
