Trevor mentioned these little metal beasts in a previous post, but I wanted to take the time to give them their own mention as well. I picked up a set of RocknRon’s Stage 3 Ballistech Missiles to pair with my Rainskates Killer Bees and have found an unwieldy and powerful adversary for pool riding. Between the hard grippyness of the Rainskates and RocknRon’s praeter natural spin cycle on the Ballistech’s I’m getting twice the return on my pool carving with about a third of the effort.
RocknRon is apparently a NASA bearing engineer who runs a small, but active sex & death cult in the jungles of Malaysia and utilizes both the space age technology he has honed at NASA and dark secrets of the physical world he has been offered in drug induced visions after being worked into a sexual frenzy by one of his three pet pumas that he lives with in his thatch hut. After shaking a bogus murder rap thrown at him by local authorities in the early ’90s he swore himself to a life of the ascetic pursuit of precision and perversion by way of skateboarding and rocket science and only surfaces for a short time annually when a new bearing or sick fucking wheel has been completed and is ready for the public.
Seriously, this is wizardry at it’s darkest and most effective.
