dude, 20 bucks for a size 12? if i didn't have a pair of SOAPs and trying to buy every sonic game, i would jump on them. And yah, get a pic of them. They dont' look half bad. Only thing i worry about is that plate...removable means it could remove itself when ur grinding, possibly?

Antho, the code for link stuff is:

The Quickdraws did have a similar quick-release plate system. Whether they slid in and out, though, I'm not sure. Maybe Steve or Derek can clarify on this

Just so everyone knows...they are mine.

Nobody is stopping you

And once again, the very rare, lovely Bizos are on Ebay....this time they're a size 9, so i suggest you get them now lol Want em? ok fine, http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-EXTREME-SKATE-skateboard-GRIND-Grinding-Shoes-SZ-9_W0QQitemZ220016312850QQihZ012QQcategoryZ63850QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">here you go

Good for you, how are they? Do they slide good?

OH, before i forget, I wanna raise the old question on this post that (like Mart said) maybe Steve or Derek can help us out with, Were the quickdraws like these Bizos? I mean, the way the plate comes out? i wonder what the Quickdraws and Quickdraw plates looked like

Dude, you havent recieved them yet? Holy shit, its almost been a month! well, i guess maybe its where you live....otherwise, maybe you should contact the seller

huh? wait really? OH!! AHAHA! i thought you were talking about the ones that i originally posted up haha

Sorry about the double post but it cut half of the comment off, here goes again:

I guess the best way to visualize the Quickdraw plate is picture a Speedster plate off of the Scorchers (they shared the same basic plate mold) with a screw hole molded (the prototypes were actually drilled) in the normal back screw position of a removable plate. The sole frame was engineered with a hardware piece molded (attached) on the shoe side of the plate in this configuration -- front of shoe: | ° :back of shoe with the bar being a metal tab to mate in the front channel and the ° being the oversize quick twist screw that locked the plate in place. The problem with the design was during a grind, to keep the plate attached, all of the stress was on the one screw. Since it was a quick-change screw, it had treading kind of like a plastic bottle cap, big threads but few of them so that one or two full turns and it’s removed. The design might have worked if it had been engineered with a standard Soap plate screw, but then it would not have been quick change. The plate was pretty sweet if it didn’t bust off the shoe when the locking set-up broke apart. Say Derek, didn’t you crash test this style --- want to weigh-in here?

Bizos have a front and back channel tab system and also front and back centered spring releases, plus the plate has to slide in right to left to be mounted. That mounting configuration spreads the stress out across the top and bottom channels. The engineering drawing that Dollardecal has out on their eBay listing of Bizos system is really a good, simple design that seems to work.

DAmn.....replaceable speedsters....nice
