| I managed to land a kickflip into a mug of coffee. Now I'm not worried about my deck as it's on its way out anyway but I was wondering if my wheels and trucks would be alright?
I dried it off over the toaster!
On the plus side, the coffee tastes nicer. |

| When I skateboard in the rain, the entire board gets ruined and I usually suffer a hilariously bad injury from the rain making everything slippy. At the very least, wouldn't the bearings be fucked? I hope this doesn't happen to me. :s |

| I've dropped boards in several drink substances over the years, and as long as you retrieve it extremely quickly, no harm is done.
"The 5 Second Rule" applies. |

| I've dropped boards in a few drinks including coffie. I dropped my homewood with g7's in my cats water that was the worst. Imedietly after you do something like this hold your board by the heater remove it every couple of seconds (depending on how hot your heater is) so you dont sepperate the glue, adhesives dont like to much heat. This should also help your bearings because there so small they wont hold much water and it should evaperate fast dont overdo it and melt your wheels. |
