Damn rich people and their lathes. I wish i had one soo bad.

And soccer builds a strong core, but your core doesnt get (much) bigger when it gets strong. And it tones and leans out your leg muscles, making them great and efficient for running, but not large, for lifting weights.

The lathe is part of the shop I work in. I wouldn't even know where to put that thing.

You got that one right! I haven't gotten a new board in almost a year and i'm sponsored!!!! What a country.

Ive recently found some pretty sweet slide hills so my 70mm kryptos have seen some abuse they're down to about 65mm outer and 60mm inner diameter. so far they just seem to be getting smoother

i found out today a set of wheels that i DIDNT abuse(and had stolen) are worth $500.

You can get a real good mini lathe for around $110, or even a full sized entry level for about the same.

kill that wheel thief, damn this economy is really hitting some people from all sides, lol.

**Tittyfish** · 03-20-2009 08:18 PM

how long does it generally take your wheels to obviously (can tell at a glance) cone? my flashbacks took about a month before I rotated the first time. (I don't do a lot of sliding)
