I worship skatan and ride with a board that clearly needs maintenance. Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins.

i once thought it’d be a good idea to go rly fast and then kick push for MORE speed. i kick pushed, flew of my board and landed on my helmet and remote.
yes, i tried to kick push going around 25 mph

I was stopped at a red traffic light and felt the need to pull up my jeans. Well, the mini remote doesn’t have a deadman switch and as I went to put the remote in my jumper, I clipped the throttle and the board went flying across the road. luckily there were no cars coming.
moral of the story: run red lights

Oh yeah I also regularly slide my esk8 for fun, the wheels are 83a Kegel so they won’t wear out to soon but still my drive wheel especially (it’s a single drive so I end up spinning it a lot, oopsie) is pretty ugly looking and stoneground.

Not gonna lie here My brother and I solder and spot-weld in my basement with no windows open or fume extractor on, so far so good. About 4 batteries packs came outta that basement with the fire alarm going off only once

I wired an xt60 on backwards and my bms caught fire. Disconnected dead bms and wired the battery correctly. I then stuck multi meter probes into the battery xt to check whether I had killed my pack and it arced, blew the meter sky high and welded the probes to the connector. In my defense, it was 1 am and I was a six pack and a half down. Its for this reason I have massive battery ptsd. I still get drunk though. Priorities are important.

I packed all my protective gear while moving about 5 days ago…I’ve still been riding 4ish miles a day…I like the feeling of the wind in my hair
My batteries are still only held with a metal bar and duct tape…it’s covered in rust already
