I sent my jump boots off to have them turned into skates on 4/6. Here’s what they looked like when they left.
I just got them today! Here’s how they look now – sahweet!
Black Sunlite nylong plates, green and black Hyper Cosmic wheels and China Bones Reds bearings. Phat!
I can’t wait for Sunday night now that I’ve got my own skates!
Nice! Where did you get the combat boots? How much was it to hook them up like that?

I got the combat boots in college. I *had* to have them, so that’s what Granma got me for Christmas one year. She went to Ft. Story to get them, so they’re authentic.
It was $150. About $15 of that was the actual charge for the mounting, $10 for shipping the skates back to me, and the rest for the parts. For what I got, it was actually a good deal, though in total it was more expensive than I was originally prepared for. I think it was worth it, though. I’m in love!

What size are they and would you be willing to sell the for 350$ or 400$?
