...i once read, that microwaving stinky shoes could kill the smell, because that smell is usually caused by germs. microwaves kill every creature so that its supposed to help.
but i never tried that... on the other hand i know that hospitals use microwaves to desinfect things, so maybe it'll really help.
!!!
gizz is right
but maybe you start to melt all the plastics / glue / etc in your shoes too...
Your shoes are probably smoother after the microwave event... but you'll certainly wear them more rapidly...
i think it's a bad idea... and it's still a bad idea to put metal in your microwave oven
i guess it's fine when you get free shoes every 2 weeks :B

The only setup I have currently is an old school board.
So here's a question for you guys..
I know there's risers for trucks but is there something similar for wheels?
The board was a gift so the setup isn't too great
I'd probably pick the wrong one too.
So here's my issue, not a huge deal for some.
I was messing with a few primo things before on a different setup
the way the trucks I have currently are they don't allow the board to turn completely on it's side.
It's tilted if that makes sense.. not aligned with the ground when it's on it's side.
Also the wheels don't reach the ends of the board's sides right side up.
If there's something similar to risers for wheels I'd like to know about it..
Rather than buying different trucks?

So you're saying there's no cheap alternative?
Possibly if you find wheels that are wider, but that's a long shot since those usually are larger in general and thus you'll also need risers to avoid wheelbite.
You could also try getting a bunch of those spacer rings that are between the bearing and the truck but you'd need a lot of them and I'm not certain the wheels would behave as they should haha.

My friend bought a stick and it lasted him like two years. If you live in a place like this with real seasons, it beats buying a whole new sheet.
Parker and I have been using grip gum for years now, it's pointless, but I have ocd, and can't stand dirty grip.

I used to use grip gum, it's pretty pointless but it works really well (as briden said already).
NYC is always filthy, so I dont mind when my grip gets tinted brown by a layer of grime. But blotches bother me for some reason.

Because he's the most laidback person ever. His skating is out of this world. Had the honor to skate with him for a day in paris. he showed us all the spots they skated in video days. it was like "hey, look over there. jason lee did kickflip bs 5050 on it." really cool guy, one of the coolest skaters i've met!
and wheelbites are the worn places on the bottomside of your skateboard right over the wheels. the graphics will vanish and you will keep greyish moulds from your trucks are being to soft and you have to much weight either backside or frontside...

Is Popwar back?
I've been seeing more and more of their boards popping up for sale (online, not in shops around me).
Their Facebook doesn't off much info other than "Good things coming in 2013"
Anybody know anything about this?

I guess you'd have to tighten 'em up a tad for the real SF style hills but Sweden is kinda flat so I get by with a couple speed checks
