    Default parking garage question

    So I found this awesome parking garage yesterday, 9 levels, but it has 2 inch wide cracks between cement blocks, but they aren't very deep. Would a sliding puck get caught in a crack like that? and would slides be possible without the wheels catching? Would posting pics help?

    i guess try and find out? I would think your wheels would get caught and/or gloves and have you get thrown off your board. That's really to bad, cause a awesome 9 story parking garage is hard to come by

    Because I have never seen a man can stand slide smoothly in slowly speed without Orangatang.

    Go try it and tell us. haha. But if they aren't deep, it should work if you just lift up your puck a little

    I'm thinking that I can bevel the edges of a puck to help it get over the cracks. Maybe a pretty thick puck would be good? I won't get to try it out this week because of work, but I will be sure to give it a go when I get a chance.

    You don't say specifically but you seem to imply that the grooves are at the turns. If that's the case I think the greater problem might be that hitting any sort of significant surface irregularity while turning could cause you to slide out.
    If you can't hit bottom, wear the sides out.

    There are grooves everywhere; on the slopes, on the flats, and on the turns. They are all in the same direction too.
