    Default Heavy moral dilemma

    I am currently riding abec 11 flashbacks. They're the first wheels I have slid on and they are very coned as of right now. I love them but now a new wheel has entered into my life and I dont know what to do. a couple of days ago I got some otang free ride stimulis' with the intentions of keeping them on the shelf until i completely wore down my flashbacks. The abused wheel thread inspired me to ware them down until they were virtually unridable. The thing is, I keep looking at the otangs.. they're so beautiful..I want to ride them but I feel morally obligated to keep riding my flashbacks until I cant anymore.

    I dont know what to do and it is tearing me apart..ride out the flashbacks, or switch to the beauty of the otangs? what do I do?!

    I think that the only reasonable option is to build another setup around the new wheels. this way you can ride both without having to neglect the one. they will feel equally loved.

    hmm having a whole 'nother set up would b ideal and I wish I could afford one! I think im gonna hide the otangs in the closet somewhere for a while and finish off my flashbacks. I hope its not too dark in there for them..

    No orangatangs until you finish your flashbacks!

    Now go slide, young man!

    get some new bearings and start using the otangs ... keep the flashbacks for rainy days when you want to get out but not ruin your nice new wheels/bearings

    Why can't anyone make a decision without first consulting the forum nerds?

    I am very insecure and I cant make decisions for myself My mommy told me that silverfish had all the answers so I wanted to know what a longboard guru such as yourself would think!

    This isn't really a moral question. Just skate wheels, heh.

    I would argue that this is a moral decision becasue I was questioning whether or not it would be morally unethical to throw away the flashies when they havent yet been used to their full potential...see, completely a question of morals 8)

    You don't have to throw away wheels to ride new ones, silly goose.
