ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

Don't you hate it when you're cruising down the street and suddenly feel death wobbles take over and yet you're going too slow for that and then suddenly your front wheels have a fucking mind of their own and start jutting side to side so you stop and lift up your board to inspect and upon doing so your front trucks are not attached to the board any longer and you have the this "what the shit" expression on your head when you realise that the king pin has snapped...... I do.

yea we call that devastating hahah
Thats when you just gotta sit back make a cup of tea and enjoy the experience of getting all fucked up. There's really not much more you can do at that point
That's when you realize how lucky you are
Hahahahah
I would be very thankful that i didn't fall off
would be even worse if you tried to standup slide to a stop after a snapped kingpin hahaah
Yeah in reply to all of you lovely concerned people it was devastatingly tea bagneedingly luckily and thankfully I came to a considerably smooth yet confused stop. you're all beautiful.
By the way what sort of trucks were they?
i was running gullwing alpines on my mini with two tall cones in stead of tall and small so it was a heaps tight fit so the kingpin nut was heaps loose then i was skatin then i fly off break my $35 skullcandy earphons and see my hangar sitting 10 metres away from my board. i found my kingpin nut and my top bushing 120 metres up the street and never found the washer. im pretty cut.
Fuck man, that's killer! I had luck on my side that day n didn't come off.....that time! 120m That's a bit brutal dude!

Hope you recovered well from that 1
They were a set of industrials believe it or not, having said that though, they were pretty thrashed having belonged formerly to (name drop time) Jamie Thomas. He sold my Mum the board when she used to work at Bondi Surf Co years ago. He had just competed across the road at the old skate ramp (vert for those of you who wre but a sperm) I was sooooooo fuckn stoked. It was an ed templeton board with an artwork on the grip tape saying TIME TO LIVE. mAD!
