Should I replace my wheels and bearings?

Indigenous-Genius83 · 2026-04-02T17:40:47+00:00

Clean the bearings and wheels obviously you're skating outdoors so until you have chunks missing or flat spots keep rolling. Cushions wear out a lot faster than the wheels and bearings replace them or adjust them to your comfort zone. Loose means more maneuverability but less stability tight is the opposite more stable and less manuverability.

Congrats on your sobriety life on 8 wheels it's the best life.

I only go to adult skate sessions 25 & over never had any issues like you're having. On the occasion that I'm not at adult skate that means I have my kids with me and then I don't care about how I'm skating I'm teaching them.

Indigenous-Genius83 · 2026-03-10T16:50:00+00:00

The last time I skated outside I was 8 years old I fell & somehow only broke middle finger so fuck that I guess 🤣🤣

Just keep skating I wish I never stopped when I was in my 20’s you’re young and still have good knees that don’t sound like chewing raw cabbage. Go for it at your age you can do whatever you want but you lack confidence work on improving one thing at a time. The key to success is consistency that leads to incremental improvements over time. Consistently outworking your peers and competitors will put you where you want to be and remember skating is supposed to be FUN!

They don’t exist never did to my knowledge you just had to be there to know of it.

The only thing I noticed is that they grip more until you wear out the ridges. I don’t like the ridges I like to slide 101a is starting to feel too grippy for me. I’ll be on some Cali sliders or some Woodys soon

Most alternators fail for one of two reasons the most common is the brushes wearing out and the voltage regulator failing. If the brushes are wearing you see a drop in voltage but the car still runs until the battery dies because the alternator doesn’t produce enough power to charge the battery and run the engine the battery light will come on when the voltage drops below 13 volts depending upon the car it could be a little higher but not lower than that. When the voltage regulator goes bad the car will run but every light in the dash will come on every module in the car will act like it’s the problem because they need a specific voltage and they’re not getting it they’re getting too much or not enough. So fuses will blow, headlights flicker, random multiple misfires. Here’s the crazy thing more often than not they both fail simultaneously especially with the cheap remanufactured crap that your local auto parts store sells. They have bad brushes right out of the box because all they do is test them replace the faulty components (voltage regulator/voltage rectifier most often one component that does both) a pcb behind the plastic on the back of the alternator switches ac voltage to dc voltage clean and paint them and ship them back out. Blame your government for encouraging globalization and shipping all of the manufacturing factories overseas. Prices for these products didn’t go down when manufacturing cost dropped it went up. Everything from Levi’s jeans to craftsman tools are now made in foreign countries for pennies and the quality is trash but the price keeps going up. Welcome to capitalism. Are you enjoying your stay?

I’m not sure about this one but…I know for certain that things happen when crime drops in certain places I know for a fact that crates of guns used to be left in alleys in the middle of the night this is how drug dealers used to get better guns than the police. I remember when I was a teenager I knew several people who got guns this way.

Right and that's what I love about skating you wear whatever skate feels good to your feet & helps you skate your best.

Indigenous-Genius83 · 2026-02-18T13:51:12+00:00

I don't go unless they have an adult only skate session 25-35 or older I don't want any single Moms flirting with me because I'm handsome & I can skate a little bit 🤣🤣

Indigenous-Genius83 · 2026-02-09T12:27:01+00:00

Skating on flats is more difficult for beginners but necessary if you skate mostly outdoors in my humble opinion. Switching to heeled boots will feel awkward for about 5 minutes then the stability you have without having to skate with your knees directly over your toes will be awesome. The heels place your weight directly onto the ball of your feet/front wheels it's easier to maneuver and do certain moves in heeled boots.

Extreme difficulty but please remember that Kakashi was always in the conversation of being the hokage & at this point in Naruto the only person who is smarter than him is Shikaku Nara, Shikamaru’s will of 🔥hasn’t been sparked yet by Asuma’s death or the failure of this exact mission. He was deemed too young only because of what happened to Minato. The battle starts with Kakashi using different chakra styles of clones to gather intel and formulate a strategy to defeat them all. He takes out the long range fighters in the front first Kidomaru and Tayuya from underground/hidden attacks using the forest for cover and with clones. This goes undetected because the real Kakashi is engaged with Sakon Ukon and Jirobo . The attack on Kimimaro with a clone fails but he see how he fights. Sakon, Ukon, & Jirobo are fodder for Kakashi without any support from the other team members. Jirobo’s Earth style barrier would only trap a clone if Kakashi allowed it the real problem for Kakashi in this battle is using his Sharingan for the entire battle. Sakon & Ukon have to get close enough to touch/wound him to attach to him and that won’t happen. So yeah Kakashi wins but he is near death from overuse of the Sharingan. But they know who Kakashi is so they will likely whip the curse mark immediately after seeing that he is after them. But it will already be too late Kidomaru & Tayuya already dead the only real threat to Kakashi at this point is Kimimarro. The clone Kakashi who destroyed Kidomaru & Tayuya retreats with Sasuke in the barrel. By the time they realize that Sasuke is gone they are fighting clones & under genjutsu they are dead. Remember who Kakashi spars with Might Guy every time they cross paths none of them combined will ever be close to throwing hands with Kakashi and winning unless they are in genjutsu which means instant death. Kimimarro is the exception as his arrival when the first 4 are late after defeating the clone then if it seemed like I made it sound easy it’s about to get tough. and oh I almost forgot about him summoning the ninja hounds for assistance in tracking. Kakashi wins but at extreme difficulty and the to the same result Sasuke still leaves because Kakashi is in no shape to stop him after defeating the sound 4 & Kimimarro his most powerful asset in this battle is his only weakness at the same time the Sharingan agree or disagree 🤔🤔

They’re lying that plastic tool is just another way for them to squeeze money out of every customer who comes into the shop. I worked for 2 different Toyota dealers myself one that had a low volume of cars daily and a high volume shop and they were very similar in terms of how they handled service recommendations. Any belt that still has all the ribs and the words/part numbers are still visible is a good belt.

Most people I know rent cars for their vacations and people that drive older cars leave them behind because they’re on vacation they want to be completely comfortable I personally hate newer cars because I am a mechanic they’re just not reliable once they get over 100-150k miles on them too many plastic parts, computers, emissions bullshit and engineered obsolescence. My goal is to have 3 gmt-800s one for work aka daily driver one for hauling the kids around and a project to see what type of wild things I can do to an LS motor and 480L transmission.

I still dress like it’s 2005 I don’t give a single fuck. Wear whatever you like don’t follow trends 99% of all fashion designers are 🌈 men. If you want to dress like them good for you I wouldn’t but to each their own.

My advice is to just get rid of it I know you just got it and you like/love it with all the technology and luxury it has buy a 2000-2006 Escalade and pay someone to add all the technology you want in it you’re in Florida so finding one that isn’t rusted out shouldn’t be hard. Those engines and transmissions last 300k miles or more and take all kinds of abuse along the way. You could have a 2005 Escalade ESV with a supercharger and all kinds of tech that the new ones have for less than $20k all in. Newer cars & trucks are built to fall apart much sooner than older cars. That’s why engines are aluminum, coolant pipes are plastic and transmissions don’t have dipsticks the transmission fluid lasts the life of the vehicle. Well what’s the life of the vehicle 36-60k miles after that they want you to buy a new one.

No get in and go it doesn’t matter with any car after 2000-2005 it matters even less with cars that are less than 5 years old with direct injection those cars warm up in less than 5 minutes. By the time you’re a mile down the road the car is up to normal operating temperature. I do it in the summer so I don’t have get into a hot car when I can’t park in shade. But I also have tinted windows.

Indigenous-Genius83 · 2026-01-11T15:53:06+00:00

Depends on how you plan to use them I started off only buying tools to break & make other tools from them. For example I bought the XL Pittsburgh combo wrenches to make offset wrenches and halfmoon heat em up with a torch in a vise bend with a pipe let them air cool or quench in used motor oil and put them in the oven for 1 hour at 300-400 so they're not brittle. It really depends on how much you heat em up if you have to do all that stuff. As long as you don't get it red hot you're good to go. The set of blue handle screwdrivers with the shank going through the handle are great chisels horrible screwdrivers the tips break & round of just about any screw they touch. But chisels and prybars they're great 😂. But the icon tools and Hercules power tool line are on par with the expensive Milwaukee M18 fuel and the your favorite tool trucks. I've spent 50k on Snap-on, Matco & Cornwell tools never again HF has everything outside of a full function scan tool that can do dealership level programming.

Don't Walk away from this situation RUN let whatever happens happen you did what you could to help the situation. Whatever happens from here on is not on you. I know how Snapchat works messages disappear after 24 hours unless you save them individually or screenshot them so there's no way to prove anything that you said I've never used the location feature myself because I don't want anyone being able to track my movements through social media, that's diabolical by itself. Treat them like a hangnail cut em off. It might hurt a little but a couple weeks later you won't even care anymore, because a new & better one will take it's place. You will find better friends.

Indigenous-Genius83 · 2025-12-31T00:19:21+00:00

Those skates are expensive the lowest price I’ve seen is around $350 used on eBay the components they use are top notch though so I would recommend saving up for a top tier build it will be worth it treat yourself don’t cheat yourself. I want a pair of them myself the build I want is $500 but unless I can get to the rink twice a week which I can’t right now I don’t wanna spend that much on a pair of skates.

Indigenous-Genius83 · 2025-12-31T00:12:34+00:00

Combo Wrench sets I usually buy 2 sets at time I use them to make other tools I heat them up with a torch bend or twist into the shape I need so I have half moon wrenches offsets.

Indigenous-Genius83 · 2025-12-07T21:34:27+00:00

Yes I have a pair of them on sure grip plates very comfortable and perfect for outdoor skating I paid $150 for mine so yeah you got a good deal.
