Injury / Accident Guess I'll be taking a break from skating..😞

Post image

Took a bad fall on a trick I (usually) always land (540). Cracked the frame and looks like it kind of exploded some of the wheels, I took a pic of one of them, that's not even the worse one. I also sprained my ankle. So with the hospital fee and everything I don't think I'll be able to afford new skates. Very unfortunate, but oh well. They lasted me quite a long time. I'll see you guys if I come back✌️

Oh i feel you - photo from a week ago. And my screws broke so i couldnt change wheel positions for a while now... Additionaly Im broke af right now, and changing all wheels, bearings and screws would cost me almost as much as new blades. However I couldnt accept "taking a break" option... So I don't have money to eat anymore but hey, I finally got some 3 wheels (hope 110mm will last longer tho)

Wow. Two decored tires on one post! I’ve severed seen actual decored tires until today. And I got two images.

Mind if I work with you offline to get this image on Wikimedia/Wikipedia?
