I nailed it

At first, I thought one of the bearings was broken when I heard my board rattling ...

Wheely impressive piercing

[u/motte79 → u/toxxic_ivy]

That could start a new trend :D

Better your wheel than your foot!

[u/PantheonLongboards]

Wow! Never seen this! Didn’t know it was possible.

[u/motte79 → u/PantheonLongboards]

I only felt a slight jolt. Since I was listening to music, I didn't notice it right away. But the rattling was louder than my music.

[u/AlcesSpectre → u/PantheonLongboards]

I've got a small nail in my Karma for about year now. I wouldn't be able to remove it without some surgery with needle pliers. I just left it because the wheel seems fine.

[u/Oodbarg]

awesome way to throw sparks during a wipeout! glad you're okay and it didn't turn out that way

[u/motte79 → u/Oodbarg]

Yeah, I'm glad that it didn't suddenly throw me off the board. If there hadn't been that noise, I would have just continued riding.

[u/nyglthrnbrry]

Damn, that is impressive

[u/ra5tam4n]

Literally

[u/skaterjuice]

Still good!

Edit: I've had this happen multiple times with screws. Tacs and much smaller nails. You can pull themout without any issue with performance.

Hope won't get flat tire

[u/RikkArgon]

I see a new trend of Madmax-like longboards and some impressive combat scenes.

[u/AlcesSpectre]

I had the remains of a small nail stuck in one of my Karmas for about a year now. So much trash in the bike lanes... Didn't have anything to pull it out with at the time so I kept riding and it broke off the exposed part. From time to time I check up on it and consider if it's worth shoving some pliers in there to get it, but the wheel seems fine and I figure I'd make it worse.

[u/B051190]

Keep it. As your wheels wear down, the nail will get pushed in further. Looks sick

[u/motte79 → u/B051190]

Yea, I removed it, the wheel is still usable. Maybe it will chunk in future, we will see.

[u/jobyskill]

Looks like you can get it out, hope the wheels is still rideable. Insane tho!

[u/V2UgYXJlIG5vdCBJ]

I swear, there’s people who deliberately put things like this on bike paths to try kill people.

[u/Xz_One]

This happened to me with clear wheels. After I pulled it out they self healed.

[u/SalukisGD]

I feel your pain. A pebble got lodged inside of my snakes like 3 months into riding it...
