^^^thanks ted. its amazing hey, i got a heap of mates who where pro bmx guys and i used to love watching them ride and checking the lines they took for speed. then the other day i was watching a young grom doin flatland tricks on his bike and sat there totally gobsmacked at what this grom could do(i hated flat land when i was a grom) it was so fluent and the kid had style. went home and took my lads pushy out and see how hard it was......sh1t i could barely do a bunny hop
Checking the background shots, looks like a awesome place to liveNice pads and view
I reckon a few of those lads with have flat spots on their wheels. Looks like a fun day out over there. Oh to be young and fearless again..........
^^^flatspotting is not as muck of a problem as it used to be ted. wheels designed to be slid. and you can still skate mate
nice vid to watch,thanks for posting and i love the look of thane lines freshly laid on the road
my old 97a Bullets used to flat spot like no tommorrow in the good old days. I know I should probably have used softer wheels but I always liked the ramps and so the harder wheels won out!
^^^^^ i hear you mate. loved my bullet 66, i still ride 98s in the bowls or if im a bit sore i ride 80s, seems to be most of the time now
but sliding i love my metros 80a
Young and fearless.....? by at the end of the weekend saw a road rash the size of a jumbo pizza on a butt cheek probably lost all skin layers similar to motorbike injuries.
Skin graft required
I think that why i dont skateboard
others injuries collarbone and ankles
plus kids just have bigger balls
cant wait to see some vid of your boy all leathered up and bombing stright down yeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww
credit to them i think.. yet when i saw the grom hit a cats eye and then the guard rail,i was just glad he was alive. then again im hooked on racing down carpark tracks and they seem to think that is worse. so go figure. sk8 or die was the motto grew up with..no its,im just glad they let the old bloke sk8 with em
Aus fair use to be a great carpark to sk8 down but i doubt youd be able to these days....btw regarding bearings abec is just a rating system, coomming from electric motor industry and ceramics are just a snake oil for use in SK8ing, they are still undecided on high po engines doing 20,000rpm!
For those that do, know you limitations and leave ego behind. A 50 year old woman died this morning in the Brisbane area doing down hill.
^^^^it was a well skated road they were on and skated by that crew and others heaps of times in a controlled setting. sh1t does go wrong and she made a lot of groms male and females ashamed at how a ballys old chook can shred that sled hard my thoughts are with her family and loved ones. R.I.P
