Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them?
over_clox@lemmy.world 16 hours agoNot referring to the shoes I posted, but I’ve never found a pair of shoes that can be safely (or legally) thrown in a washing machine.
We don’t have our own washing or drying machines here, we have to use laundromats. You throw shoes or boots in there, you’ll get charged with sabotage… ☹️

Ahh damn that sucks. It makes it super easy for tennis shoes/sneakers.

Meh, nobody in their right mind would give me any sort of shoe warranty once they realize I ride brakeless BMX flatland…
This isn’t exactly the clip I was looking for, but what the fuck you expect a flatland rider to do with both wrists sprained?..

I’m pretty sure I would eat shit if I tried to do any BMX stuff. Hope you enjoy it even though you mangled yourself lol.

As long as I stick to flatland, I’m good. If I fail, I just either walk or roll out of it. It’s like an 80% fail, 20% land the tricks for me.
The real trick is to practice without hurting yourself…

Advice: Don’t try BMX stunts at home, unless you got balls of crazy.
For me, in a strange way, it helps me understand complex mathematics. The less I think of how I’m riding, the more I understand what I’m actually doing.
