Show me... abused wheels!

[AFTT]

Not that one, but my grandma (total hippie) lives quite close to that one as well.

It's not a stretch to say that Santa Barbara is my favorite place in the world.

Where I live, I have a few parking garages.

the never summers are after 2 sessions. The flatspots got so epic that my feet got numb after riding 100ft so i just had to kill them. These leave the craziest 'thane marks ever BTW.
the 2 red strips are pieces of the lip i found after their final slide..

the hard wheels were once 58mm bones or something. now 35mm

Unless these wheels were free, I would never buy clear thane, its cursed!

[TylerHill]

[Smurf]

An old G-Bone.

How in the world do you do this? A slide, but wouldn't it get 2,3, or 4 of the wheels.

[speshlspeclsteak]

flatspots usually only happen on one or two wheels usually the ones you put the most pressure on during a slide

[sk8brdngroxx]

hell yea dude, enjoy them. Best "freeride" wheels ive ridden to date.

A 81a Classic thane powerball is my dream.

Someone explain to me how you people (not meant as a racial slur) go through thane like that. How many hours of hard sliding does that take and what kind of sliding are you doing? I've got my stimuli to 65mm but I've been riding them a ton for a while. Also, my powerballs don't make thane lines, is it because they aren't worn down much or is it something else like pavement or my weight?

[benmasters]

yeah same for me. i weigh 160 and have been sliding my durians a #### ton, but theyre barelyyy coned. i thinks its mostly my pavement since it was repaved about 2 years ago and its reallllyyy smooth compared to say this pic.

I think you may need to go faster

[AfroRider21]

I think you may need to go faster

either that or put more weight into your slides. and crappy ass road always helps. but if your wheels slide really well dont b so eager to kill them.

[BAsports18]

Yea i mostly do medium speed freeride and mosty standups.

[motion]

just go sideways more than you roll straight

one of my two cored wheels.

I first thought you melted your wheel so badly it started foaming.

But then I saw the hamster.
