grinding to kill (my scooter)

[P4RK3R]

i grind unwaxed, unpainted cement curbs, and it's been wearing down the baseplate thing on my B model so much its about to put a hold in it, and i've only been grinding for three weeks...
it does feel good grinding on the whold base plate instead of those annoying ridges on the side, but it's got about 1/5 of a millimeter to go before its totally gone...

any help?

Start waxing whatever you grind...thats kinda obvious

Wax. And you can do that mod where you put the skateboard rails on the bottom of your scooter.

Yeah, if you do lots of grinds I really really recomend getting some grind rails.

And all you have to do is drill them into the bottom of your deck.

yeah use wax and y are you so lucky grinding? Im always the kid who catches deep rust on the big rails no one grinds at the skateparks

But yeah put some OG rib bones on the scooter and it will slide super smooth and quiet.

or just dont grind unwaxed rough curbs anymore haha.


but yeah grind rails would be a really good idea if its about to crack.

lol i never have problems im always grinding away lol

Coedie probably does not have problems because he goes so fast that special things happen and he also has lots of decks.

I don't recommend those rails. They are not durable. They crack easily and wear faster than the deck and it is something I don't like. I've stopped grinding cement ledges. Or if I grind cement skatespot ledges , I do some only.If you really want , go ahead and get those rails.

I haven't heard any problems about those rails wearing away too quick, i never used them before though.

If you wax ledges good though it shouldn't be a problem. I grind shit all the time and my decks are usually good. I usually don't wax up new ledges and wear the cement in myself though, that will eat at your deck. Try to stick to ledges that skaters grind all the time, they are usually slicked up allready and don't wear your deck away.

i have 2 plates almost exactly like that for grinding and reinforcement, they work wonders

 

[P4RK3R]

thanks guys, i'll get some plates for grinding like mat said. I won't wax the curbs, its whenever i ride street, and i found this cool spot where its a curb on a downhill slope, and its soo fun to grind unwaxed, cuz i did like 50 ft grinds, and i dont have the time or the wax to slick it up

go to a skate park there is wax around
