nah i use rollerblades. I find skateboarding boring. I like sprinting with wheels on my feet :biggrin:

It kinda cleans the wheels a bit when it's pouring down as well because there's less mud and more water lol.
I'm getting anxiety just reading the OP

I never fall :cool:. I was even hit by a range rover once and I managed to land on my feet and roll back onto the pavement :clap2:

Also if you do fall you just twist yourself and avoid your face hitting the floor lol.

Ahh, ok. Still, your poor bearings, hope you dry them off as soon as you get home, prone to seizing and rust otherwise.

My one is skateboarding/penny boarding just at night, no rain (or my bearings will die).

tbh I usually run them under a tap to get rid of all the mud and then leave them. Not too sure what else will help. It's always raining in England so if I wait till it's dry i'll never be able to go out lol.

Should I actually get a towel and dry them properly then?

This song came on while I was skating down a really long street full of street lamps and a nice view to the left side for miles because my university is on top of a hill. Magical :moon:

I live for those magical moments in life :biggrin:



Sweet n sour chicken beats donuts imo. Would take my take out box with me and a fork.

You're going to knacker your bearings doing that. And the grip is going to be non existent, outdoor wheels are hard enough already.
I'm eating in the dark, is this edgy too? :frown:
