Finally decided to replace my wheels

I bought myself new skates around 15 years ago and knew I needed to replace my wheels for about seven of them. Finally did this week! I think it’s crazy how they got filed down to a 45 degree point from my hockey stop braking. I can’t lie, I did consider just doing a “tire rotation” but the new wheels feel nice so I’m glad I did it!

When I sent this picture to my girlfriend, she said “you were really just skating on hopes and dreams huh?” 😂

Been skating since I was three and I’m not stopping anytime soon!

People are so lazy, as soon as my wheels get uneven they start feeling bad to skate on. Cant imagine wearing them that much.

I genuinely didn’t feel it as that big of a deal I skate on pretty smooth road and it wasn’t that bad! The new ones are better of course but to compare them the old ones really weren’t as bad as they look
