I’d imagine if you weren’t too heavy they would be grand for slalom or cruising,

I had the “Zytel” Variflex skateplates back in the day and they lasted ok

It’s the unsupported bit that concerns me no kingpin or grommets to absorb some of the impacts

I think they look even more frightening when set up

Very definitely in the rare but not that desirable category but yours for only £750 🤔
