First time going to a skatpark and what an experience
I've never been to a skatepark in my life. Which probably explains why I suck, and don't have alot of knowledge in alot of crap. What really sucks was, I was hitting this jump, and I got quite abit of air , then boom I hit the ground and ****ed up my crank. I striped out the left arm, but thats partially my fault, I didn't full tighten my crank. So I got stuck, riding a Huffy Girls bike for the rest of the day. 
Whats a cheap 3pc for like $50, I need something to hold me off unti lI get the money saved for soemthign better.

Not cheap for a good one. I actually have the crank in my lap. I think All that stripped is the arm, and I have a spare set of arms from my old 3pc. I might run them untilI get the money to buy agood 3pc.

So buy a replacement arm. And a spindle because you probably @!^#ed that up, too. Assuming you were smart and bought decent cranks from the start. If not, well...now's the time to save your money and get a decent set. And learn how to work on 'em.

Great movies. Too bad that the whole reason for their making was to make it seem as if apartheid wasn't all that bad.

Considering that even Jim Bauer and Chris Cotsonas at Odyssey don't recommend using those cranks, I certainly wouldn't touch them.
