The Frankensteins at Fifty-50 are at it again. The Fifty-50 SQ Millenium Edition kit for Razors Super Flats

is a brought to you with a partnership with Sea-Quints Online, to fully trick out your Super Flats and really make a bold statement. The first thing that strikes you about this system are the frames. They are a unique, limited edition, Sea-Green with Pink highlights, made specifically for the Sea-Quints Millenium Edition Razors kit. The kit also includes Fifty-50 Razors Wings from their Solutions line, their Razors adaptor kit for the frames, yellow Louie Zamora grind plates, as well as a set of Fifty-50 Super-Axles. The final version of the kit will also include a set of super thick hip-hop red laces, and a super-extra-puffed puffy tongue with an embroidered Sea-Quints logo on it. This prototype model however, does not include those extra features.

This system is really great, and it really showcases the Fifty-50 line. The frames are the same as all their other pro frames... super fast, and super strong. The Razors wings really make this skate shine. They increase the soul area by so much that even if you miss

your grind, somehow you will still magically lock on! Plus they are made of UHMW and slide great on ledges and on coping as well.

The wings, especially, helped me in my skating, because well, frankly, I suck. But just being able to lock on every time was so encouraging that I started trying bigger stuff and harder tricks than I'd ever tried before. I really don't know how much the wings themselves actually help, but the confidence they instill has really improved my overall ability.

When this system was in the development stages, Sea-Quints wanted something that would really represent what Sea-Quints was all about -- ugly color combinations on a functional skate that puts the "fruit" back into fruitbooting. We think that we've accomplished this. In fact, last week I was skating

those red ledges at El Modena High School, and some kid on a bike actually pointed and laughed at my skates! I knew at that moment that we had acheived our goal.

If you've got some Razors and you're feelin' kind of fruity, try getting the Fifty-50 Sea-Quints Millenium Edition Super Flat Kit. Your skates will ride and grind like never before, and the look is unique! This kit is an extremely limited edition, and is only available on the Fifty-50 Website. You have to find the secret link that is hidden somewhere on the site to be able to order it. It costs $299.99, and don't ask me where the secret link is because it's so secret that not even I know!! And besides, no one will tell you. It's such a limited edition that there is only one other pair of frames that look like this in the whole world, so you are going to have to earn your way into them!!
