Riding the Wave down a big hill
August 11, 2006 on 6:38 pm | In Sports, Favorite |I really should have thought ahead and bought new wheels for my wave board before I came down to the Crowsnest Pass. Heading to the mountains, it was sure to get lots of use. Unfortunately my wheels were already pretty worn and starting to split. I decided to tackle the big hill on Allison Road anyways and have my Dad film me while my sister drove. On the way out I warned them that my wheel probably would break, and a probably would fall, and I probably would be OK. All of this actually did happen, and here is the proof, edited into a short movie. So here you go, seafood is served:

The wheels are just rollerblade wheels and easily replacable. It’s on the second set, third if you count the ones that broke after only 20 mins of use. Those were the Kryptonics ones, don’t ever buy that brand.
Although the fall looks bad it was happening in slow motion for me and was able to roll with it instead of landing on my knees.

I think you’re the only person I know who actually knows how to ride one of those things.
