A couple of years ago I found a pile of skate boards (so, only the boards) in the trash and took them. During the pandemic I felt like making a full skateboard out of one of them. I knew that I would not be doing any tricks, so I bought Shark Wheels and all the other things a skateboard needs, paid around $150 for everything, I think.
The third time I went out with it a pedestrian unexpectedly turned around on their heels, I maneuvered around but the wheels touched a wall, causing me to fly off and land on both of my palms. Went to the nearest pharmacy, they removed the pebbles from my hand, sanitized it etc., but it was pretty bloody.
Now I have a pretty cool scar on one on my hands. Didn't touch the skateboard again, think I'll stick to walking :')
(No, of course I wasn't wearing a helmet or pads...)
Anyways, I lost track of what I wanted to say - The shark wheels indeed helped a ton, was never stopped by a pebble or stick in the ~1 hour I used them.
