Like I said, low key session and I'm down, angry competitive session, not so much. Not my game.

Bring some ice cream and everything will be fine.

Nah, Itchy is always doing the killing, Scratchy never comes out on top, it's always a one sided battle. I'd say they're more like Spy vs. Spy


Ahahahahahaaa, spot on!

i always do it with crook and then my shit snaps..crooks easier though.the most legit is grinding down your baseplate to your hardware from tailslides (or noseslides i guess)
I'm going to the one in Ontario. I got invented or else I wouldn't go.

I never grinded to axle, but my Thunders are getting a nice crooked grind hole in them, so this may be my first pair. Hopefully they dont bend or something until I achieve this, but Thunders had never let me down.

You must never skate then, or only do manuals.

Or just skating skateparks with metal ledges.
Anyone skating the streets with real cement/granite ledges will go through a set of trucks with a quickness.

back when we had the parking block slappy jam at the bridge, i took a set of indys down to the axle in about two months. i really liked that thing.

but most of my life, it's taken about a year or so to get there. except for stage 10's, which must be a softer alloy, since now i can't seem to get more than 5 or 6 months out of a set of trucks.

i remember reading about tom knox grinding a set of indys to the axle in ONE DAY.  i really wish that would've happened now, during the "everything a pro does is filmed" days. that must have been the most epic slappy session ever.
i'm not the official voice of the park, i'm just a guy who skates and works there...

also breaking in ledges will tetar your trucks apart. i used to see how quickly i could blow through a set of trucks. i got a pair to the axle in just about a month once. i still want to try and get it done in under a week
fuck you bama

when you hit the axel, that means your truck is nice and broken in

Only the front truck so far, the back is getting close.

I've found a solid metal edge will tear your trucks apart on some tricks. If you do long grinds on a metal edge it kind of cuts into it. Cement can go either way, granite will fuck your shit up though, in a nice and smooth way
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

Yeah it does depend on what it is.
Most park ledges here are rounded.  A good angle iron ledge will eat up your trucks fast.

I love the look of a fresh deck, and wheels with well grinded in trucks.

Old trucks and old bearings with a new board and wheels is the best.

I thought I was going to hit the axle but my indy baseplate finally decided to crack today.  I think I've been riding this set for ~4 years.



I guess the new stage 10's don't have the extra bolt holes which probably make them a bit stronger.

Peter hewitt grinded to the axle in one day at washington street. funny how this video hasn't been up yet.

  If I was still skating WSVT on a daily basis I would have probably blown out my trucks waaaay quicker.  The coping there ain't no joke.
