    Default What is there to do with a box of flatspotted HARD wheels?

    Now, aside from the obvious,
    [Such as making paperweights, book ends, or throwing them at freeliners...]
    what is there to do?!
    Make pucks?
    Make 100a bushings?

    Thoughts/Ideas?

    true and true.

    they're not entirely dead, so lathing wouldn't be the most difficult thing to do...

    i just keep seeing the bushings coming out of the destroyed soft wheels
    and i'm kinda bummed that i can't really do the same

    They would probably feel exactly the same as 100a nonstepped bushings... and rocks.

    Stack them up on a piece of pipe or tube, get a lamp kit, run the wiring through the pipe, and make a lamp!

    Make them into/use them as feet for something, like electronics.

    I just got back some slide-as and sergio sliders from mr lathe, awesome having wheels that roll again!

    Or..


    At Slide Quest slide comp in Bristol, they made a trophy out of loads of flatspotted wheels, which was SICK! Going to any slide comps in the near future? Make a trophy for em!
