I dont need no NEW STINKING SKATES!

[KEVIN88GT 0]

what a PITA looking for new skates... online prices are great on last years models (was looking for 6k rbk) but impossible to find them at stores to try them on.

So I said forget this... My 2003 Mission DNA D1 are extremely comfortable and I'm not ready to ditch the Hi-Lo platform just yet...

so...a major tube up.

New Wheels: Labeba Grippers Extra Soft

New bearings: Bones Swiss 608 Bearings

New Waxed laces.

Just like new and cant wait to go play on monday!!!

Good for you, I have some 2004 Missions that I love and will skate in til they physically won't allow me to move. I'll probably do the same thing as you next yr...

They look like they are still in very good condition. I would have held on to them as well.

Sweet skates man. I'm still using old Proto Mission skates - nothing else feels right, including the newer Mission lines. Here's my current pair.

Shucks... really loved that yellow hi-lo chassis. Been trying to get my hands on some Proto VIs so that I can use that chassis.

www.inlinesports.com has those VIs for $70 in size 8 and 8.5

On the topic of chassis: what's the dif between the Penetrator and Detonator chassis? (This should be good for about a couple jokes before an answer)

[fatwabbit 93]

I dont think there was any major differences, just the color (could be wrong). Could be similar to the redstar eframe and the sherwood eframe, with a different color scheme.

I've got the Detonator chassis on my 1200c, and its fantastic. Also still got the old old old Generator chassis that came with my proto vsi way back in 2000, the infamous one with the turquoise axles.

I could do with a size 9.5D or 10D though... thanks for the headsup.

I'm also interested in finding some of these, size 10 or possibly 10.5
