Soul Plates and Soul Frames

An Insight into Soul Plates, Soul Frames, and Grindplates

If you are an aggressive skater, you understand the significant role that grinding and sliding play in the sport. In this category, you’ll discover our range of soul plates, grind plates, and soul frames. Whether you're on the street or in the skate park, frequent grinding can wear down your skates, necessitating the replacement of parts over time.

Grindplates are fitted into the groove of the skate’s centre. This enables you to "lock on" to a rail and grind along the middle of the boot. Soul frames are positioned between the boot and the frame, with soul plates, or sliders, attaching to them. This expands the frame component of the setup, permitting you to grind using the side as well as the heel of the boot.

Although the use of grind plates and soul plates is almost exclusively associated with aggressive skating, a few freeskate models do accommodate soul plates. Moreover, grind blocks, a recent innovation in the market, can be added to quad skates.

No matter what you require for your skates, ensure compatibility with your current setup. For utmost security, select a model crafted by the same brand as your skate.

Your frames are another crucial element that impacts the grinding experience. If a replacement seems necessary, feel free to visit our Aggressive Skate Frames page.
