Old Child Media – Kelsey Macneil | Salt Spring Island B-Roll – Flatspot Longboards

Kelsey Macneil aint scurred of no rain! If you live on the west coast for example, not skating in the rain means you don’t skate at all. Isn’t skating about creatively adapting anyway?

There is no definitive proof that skating in the rain makes you a better skater. But we are most certain that skating more (aka, practicing) makes you a better skater. Well, if you live on the coast than you aren’t gonna have many chances to practice if you don’t skate in the rain! So kids, if your from a rainy city like Vancouver, remember to skate in the rain. Not only is it harder, its like ninja training that gives you levitational powers (also known as hydroplaning). So pack an extra pair of dry clothes and go shred some hills the next time its pouring out. You will be pleasantly surprised by how little you wear your wheels.

Despite the fact that this edit is a B-Roll, it watches like a solid edit of bangers. Old Child Media and Kelsey Macneil slayed that island! Kelsey rides for Drang Board Co.

In this video Kelsey is riding Otangs, and if your gonna rip in the rain regularly, you might as well stick to the most affordable bearings! And a mini tester of Skanunu cleaner/lube goes a long way.

Zealous Bearings – Classic
$19.99CAD
Feature:
– Steel Balls
– Precision 8mm axle holes
– .4045″ built in spacers
– .5mm built in speedrings
– Green rubber seals to keep dirt and debris on the outside of the bearing.
– Lubed with Custom Nanoceramic Grease
-The unique feature of the lubricant is how the nanoceramic compound fills in deformations or asperities in the bearing. These deformations cause friction and heat around them which hardens the nano-ceramic compound to that specific area. This micro coating is 5 times the hardness of the host alloy and has a molecular bond with the host metal, filling in all the asperities and eliminating friction over time.
-The coefficient of friction is the lowest in the field of Tribology at 0.003% creating a near frictionless surface. Mainly because the nanoceramic compound eliminates all asperities.
-Extremely low water washout
-Corrosion on the inside of the bearing is nearly eliminated.
Sold in sets of 8 bearings.
