@alankerr told me a bit about them a while back and I hunted for the cheapest set I could find. 8X3.00X4 4PLY CHENG SHIN TURF TIRE & Tube (^H128) | eBay

The only downside is that they are very heavy. I decided to go with a lighter set of tires, but I am still interested in these hahaha

it’s all kinds of old school cool, i believe it’s old etoxx prototypes. glad @rich is back on a board, he inspired me to bend my first mtb axle and it’s been a mess of murder and carnage of parts since :blush:

The original build is from 2017 with narrow trucks and belt drive … 2 weeks ago it looked like this

there is a build thread on the old forum. It was my daily commuter until I had to stop riding in 2021.

So actually the new version with wider trucks and gear drive feels very newschool to me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I like mountainboards much more but for commuting in the city it makes more sense to have a smaller board without bindings. The flat and flexy deck is no more my favorite but for cruising it’s ok.

Thanks bro, what an honor :joy:! Bending axles is no fun, but reckless driving is :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

No prototypes, they are V3

Organic means it contains carbon atoms.

I’m working at a prison for a few more months.
The inmates may not have or consume alcohol. Reasonable.

No alcohol containing hand sanitizer. No after shave with alcohol.

Sure, the most intoxicated person I have ever come across in a medical setting got that way from drinking a commercial sized bottle of lemon food flavoring. 2 litters of it on a ship.

Items sent to inmates by are screened and confiscated. They may appeal.

The staff came and asked me about Cetyl alcohol that was listed as an ingredient in cetaphil.

I laughed bc I thought it was a joke. It wasn’t.

I said it has a long enough carbon chain that it’s a waxy material, not a liquid. Happens to have a hydroxyl at the end of the chain. I regretted saying
That sentence out loud, but it didn’t register at all.

ā€œWell, what if you ate a few pounds of it? Could that give you a buzz?ā€

ā€œYou would have to eat so much that you would come to medical for dehydration bc you have done nothing but sit on the toilet and shit water and wax.ā€

ā€œOkay, it’s only a small bottle, he can have the soapā€
