Hard, fast, and with altitude doesn't mean it breaks when you hit the ground....feet over screws.
I was getting my boards for free or discount, so I skated them as hard as I could. When I was paying for them or I was broke they lasted me at least a month and a half or two. Plenty of times I went hungry supporting my skate habit. Now I skate so much like a p***y I have had the same board for a year. I didn't say that they all broke after a month either. I would skate 8+ hours a day, everyday. Any board would wear out in a month doing that. Anyway...
