Day 379



I blew a tire.

I went skating today and this is what happened to my back wheel on my left skate. I had to skate roughly a third of the total distance like this.

I'm pretty sure I didn't run over anything. What I think happened was, about a week ago I rotated my wheels. Since then that skate had been making strange noises. I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

Then Saturday when I skated it started to get worse. I stopped and checked out my wheel and it was all warped and it was catching on the metal. I think I had it tightened too much and it had been rubbing on the metal this whole time. It got so bad that a chunk ripped out while I was skating. Had no idea that could happen.

Either that or for some reason only that wheel got extremely hot and warped and then started to rub on the metal and took a chunk out.
