time takes its toll

Time can take its toll on people and things. Today's post in dedicated to my skates (lol) they've served me for 4 years and in that time its got pretty banged up to say the least. But it think it was the most worthwhile $150 i have spent. Its a second hand Salomon Motion 9 its a actually meant to be used as a speed skating trainer. Not too good for freestyle slide but still usable. Served me pretty well. Good for speed but bad for freestyle. extremely easy to put on as well.
Here's a picture of a brand new side.




In comparison..



yup there's a hole



Applied epoxy resin to protect my skates from getting another hole. Replaced the laces as well.

And the frame is dented inwards. The wheels are worn to the core as well.

As you can see, the sides have loads of scratches too.


The frame (the part holding the wheels) is scratched as well.



Hoping to get Seba FR1's after O's.
