I just want to clarify, as I was the first person in this thread to mention the capris. I used them as an identifier because I didn't know his name. It isn't the capris that bothered me while watching him (I've worn some silly #### myself, and rolled up jeans look very similar); it's the way he skates. I know it's NY and I know the streets are busy, but he constantly carves towards people for no particular reason, and gets unnecessarily close to vehicles. A tour bus has enough mass to cause some serious damage, even at the low speeds they travel in a city like that.

This isn't just in reference to the bomb, just the other videos I've seen him skate in. It's always the same. He seems like an adult but skates around the city like an asshole. It's just my opinion, though.

Hey freeflow448 How are you liking the strike? Have you bombed any hills yet? I'm pretty stoked on mine. Great freeride board.

You can notice the sparks only come when he does hard quick carves, and the hardware strikes against the truck

I have a strike and the bolts do not ... do not contact the trucks , even with the trucks loose. However I have heard that before ,but I dont have that problem.

Thesius was not riding a strike. He rides a pintail as mentioned before with tail devils on the bottom. He showed off the deck after the broadway bomb (yes I was there and saw it in person)

The only thing rubbing hardware will do on the strike is make an indentation in the truck hangar+limit the turn (yes I had a strike)

And what alpha06 said, it did it to my crails when i had them on my strike, you fix it by flipping the outer hardware
