I remember thinking that rodney could primo/casper slide on like raw sidewalks, which was totally not true but def led to some pretty hilarious sessions of me eating shit over and over trying to replicate those stunts. I guess this same mentality extends to not understanding the need for rub brick/clear coat to grind on concrete. Just thought you needed wax and to skate it a bunch, which might work with enough wax/time if you weighed more than the 70-80 pounds i weighed at the time.
A friend of mine told me the OG's at his local told him and his buddies the right way to setup your wheels/bearings was to tighten them to the point of only spinning a few rotations.
Clearly the OG's were fucking with him and his crew.
Good thread btw OP.
