Thanks Kehraus, I stitched it myself with a mirror and ran some staples. Good suture line.

| Maybe it's just me, but I've always considered those trucks to be kinda silly. Is it really even grinding? |

I threw some on a deck of mine and hit the transition on the other sides, up the vert, locked onto the coping (so I thought) and slid the full 20 feet off off the 10 footer (should have bailed) and landed over the fence and on the concrete with a loud thud, 42 stitches later I can say they are the ultimate in grinding technology.
All kneel before Oldsk8. Longest "grind" on vert ever? |

I've got several sets of the Maxi-Roller ones that I used for downhilling at one point.
I put a set on my pool board with blue Bones bushings, and did the longest and fastest carve "grind" ever, but those don't turn very well, even with the soft bushings. Slow turn-in, and heavy. As Stubbs said, "Sooooooo many washers!"
The other Z-Rollers turn a lot quicker.

| Ronin more of a 20 foot slip, the vert ramp was around 36 feet wide and around 10 feet high and I hit it full bore on the other opposite vert section . 20 feet may be on the liberal side but it was at least 15. It slick metal coping and as soon as thge Z-rollers hit the coping there was nothing I could do but hang on, and eventually almost sustain a fractured skull as a consequence. |
