  1. this is one of "Total Uni"s stupid ideas...

    i had the idea for a new uni product..

    ethier flint diped/coated pedals, so when you grind your pedals would
    spark like mad (vary cool at night).

    i am also fixing up my friends skate board trucks with flint

    rate this idea 1-10"

  4. That would be really cool. I wonder how well it would slide.

  5. you never know, it might be like graphite and slide really smooth.

    it sparks really cold so you wont have people starting fires with them

  7. I rate that idea at a 7 out of ten with eight being the highest. Oh,
    wait, inside joke from CMW 03, noone's gonna remember...

    Seriously, it'd be cool if it worked, but one problem is that a lot of
    grinds are on polished metal which won't spark very much.

    On the other end of the safety spectrum, you could have a 3 part grind
    plate. The front of the plate is magnesium with a rough surface, the
    middle is flint, and the back is more magnesium. THe front would scapre
    powder off on the obstacle, whihc the flint would then ignite, which
    would further ignite the back magnesium. Flaming pedals😎 .

  8. i though of that, but i think the flint is going to give tou more
    sparking plus i think the mag. is going to need to heat up more before
    you starting having flames

  12. Just use sparklers, or gasoline, either way it is still the same cool
    factor...

  13. just pull the pins out of your pedals and replace them with zippo
    flints.

  20. In the CCS catalog they have plates with flint on them that you attach
    to your skateboard and when you hit the tail down it makes sparks.
