My school has these speed bumps, they are only slightly raised, about a cm or so above the road, and they have a few trianglular cuts in them. How bad are they for my wheels? speed limit is 25 for the area, but no one goes that slow and usually people tailgate me if i try to slow down to 10 to pass them, which is rather annoying, i wonder how much damage the wheels will take when cars go around 25 mph on them.
The setup itself has two major flaws. The first is the bearings are crap. They don't roll well or last very long. You also need to get new bushings for the trucks. Core bushings tend to deform or blow very easily. By the time you add up the shipping costs and the replacement parts, it's the same cost as if you were to get a board at a local skate shop. Skateboarding is a relatively safe spott. It is safer than basketball, soccer, football or cycling; all three of these your parents would probably not give a second thought of you playing. 95% of all skateboarding injuries that require a rip to the emergency room can be prevented by wearing pads and a helmet. About half of all minor injuries can be prevented by wearing the proper clothing, safety equipment and using common sense. Take your parents to a nearny skatepark and show them it is a safe environment and skateboarding is not that dangerous.
First, read in Genealogy Yahoo! answers re family coat of arms. In a nutshell, these 4 other coats of arms in the shield are hand-me-downs. E.g., if the first generation/level has one shield, the guy marries a gal whose father has a second one, the shield would reflect the 2 combined. Add a third, 4th, or more generations/marriages I have seen (pictured) as many as 64 mini-shields on one shield.
