Just flatspotted my F4s today after hitting a rock at the park. Always been curious how this happens to everyone else.
Was it a slippery smooth park or a more coarse ground surface?
Seem to see more smaller flatspots on slippery smooth ground, but they usually go away after a session anyway.
Some of the other big old slides down a road where the wheel just gets stuck in the one spot can give some "game over" kind of flatspots that will never come out, but most of the time that is just unlucky and as long as there is even a little forward movement then the wheel should not stop spinning and shouldn't cause a flatspot.
That said, any and every wheel can get them, even the best or most flatspot resistant wheels, if there is enough force on a wheel that is not spinning at all whatsoever but is still moving along a surface, forwards, sideways or any which way.
Seen a few "board dragged under car" flatspots that are all time, but even one guy who bailed on a vert ramp and got the board stuck under him as he came down put one super solid flatspot in Bones wheels that I had never seen before and was not coming out any time soon either.
Not to hijack this thread, but can people post their flatspotted wheels for viewing (dis)pleasure??
I am sure there would be some epic ones out there.
