What start of a slalom career
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2005 3:46 am
After the slalom event in Stockholm the other week one of our team pool riders for our skate shop (Coyote Grind Lounge) was stoked after seeing som giant slalom at the Swedish television. He wanted to give it a serious try. He got a nice raw setup with a black Sk8kings Axe board and some Manx wheels. The setup was great and he was so happy. He practiced day and night with his 12 brandnew cones.
3 days later when he got off the bus he somehow slipped and the board went under the bus. The bus started off and ran over the board. And not only that. The bus litterally ate it up and only spitted out half a Manx wheel. That was all that was left when the bus went away. The board must have got stucked in the wheelhouse somehow. What a start of a slalom carreer.
I will get a photo of that half Manx wheel for you to see. Not an everyday sight.
P.S. To avoid depression he quickly got himself a new slalom setup. Only had one Axe in stock though so he had to put together a new one. Let's see how long that will last...
