It makes sense to cut it out aside from where the bolts are because youve already got the bottom of your liner then the soul plate cutting out the bottom of the shell was one of my ideas.

That's crazy light for a full hardboot skate. I rolled around in them and there was no flexing of the frame or anything like that, the fit was great, and they felt crazy light. The negative/base plate is of course replaceable and it wraps up around the boot so you won't wear into the actual shell. The backslide plate is a different part because it's a different material that's better for groove tricks, where there is less surface area being used than a soul plate. When you make the soul and backslide areas out of one material you usually end up with something that's a good speed for soul tricks and too fast for backslide tricks, or vice versa. Making the two parts from different materials is simply the best allover solution, saving the few grams of weight on a one-piece part isn't worth having your skates not slide right. The Genesys skate will still be available and will be the mid-level/intermediate models for Razors- the Cult will be the entry-level/budget models and the SL will be the high-end models. this soul system is absolutely nothing like the Psirus's system. The Genesys, until the one-piece came out, yes... this skate, no way. Don Bambrick has had his a week and is killing it on them, he loves them way more than the Genesys mold and he loved the Genesys a lot. Tonight at Landslide he did huge forward 7's and 9's over their big new launch, and did SWITCH outspin360 makio, grabbed, on the downbox, first try (aka fullcab alleyoop makio).

It's more for doing movie effects and 3d animation stuff. I'm pretty sure AUTODESK still has a separate CAD software program though. :) Joel – “how dated is that CAD software, they need to get rolling on autodesk maya”
