    Default flatspotting

    i have just flatspotted a vision blurr and at the time it is my only sliding wheel(my sergios are at the shore ) and i was wondering if anything drastic can happen to me if i continue using this flatspotted wheel... i rode them yesterday and i didnt feel a difference in sliding, but as i was riding i felt my bidy jumping up and down very fast. so can something happen to me(other than obviously falling) or my board as a result of riding these wheels

    when you begin to slide more with that wheel, the wheel will stop on the flatspot making the flatspot worse and making it more dangerous to slide with

    not to mention, it is probably annoying to ride around with

    Usually that is the top toeside edge of the board if you ride a regular stance. Then you can usually do little manuals down the hill so you dont notice the flatspot as much.
