It’s snowing out, that means Rampy! Not many people interested in skating, but Lazer came over and we started things off mellow. I had new trucks as I could never get the darn bolt back on those worn down Thunders. I had some Indy Koston “Hollows”. Light Indys? I was kinda tired of wheel bite so bad with Thunders so decided to try a little higher truck. As you can see above it didn’t go so good. I was able to skate them fine for awhile. Lazer and I were pretty chill, talking a lot. Neither of us did anything too crazy for us. Carleigh eventually showed up and the mellowness continued. After awhile I bailed weird and it turns out my bushing came out like you can see in the photo and that was weird. It ended up cracking all the way through so I had to scrounge for some old bushings and found some Ace ones. Hopefully they work fine. Skating resumed. Kind of. It was really mellow, but we had fun. I slammed a few times because of the new wheels and how slippery they are when they are new. I put new wheels on because I figure if you’re gonna have new trucks, might as well make it weirder with new wheels too (plus my old wheel had lots of powerslides under them and were under 50mm). Not sure when I’ll get to putting the pool coping on Rampy, but it’ll happen pretty soon.
