local kid dies modifying rod lavers

Post by sandman420 »

AP: "A Smithsville, IN kid, 15 year old Marcus Green, died last thursday night. The boy was attempting to cut some mesh out of his Adidas shoes to improve their performance in "foot-bag", a hacky-sack like sport. His exacto blade slipped and Marcus cut his wrist and bled to death waiting on EMT to arrive. His funeral is scheduled for this monday."

Just kidding! Believe in JEsus!

Although this did almost happen to me.

hahaha, I swear, I canNOT avoid cutting myself when I mod the inside of lavers. Things that I've found to increase injury (and performance of unwanted modification) during modding lavers: lack of sleep, intoxication.

be well rested and sober before cutting into your kicks, or you're liable to hurt yourself ;)
BRICK!

Maybe someone should almost die modding lavers just to get word out about the sport... or maybe not

That guy that died was from Indiana. I know it was a lie when I read that. I'm the only person from IN that kicks the bag.

Little tip, dude. When a news report comes out they always reffer to the person in question with his last name, once metion. So yeah, that's howI knew it was fake.

But anyways I cute my finger pretty deep modifieding my lavers. Went right thouarge the mesh into my finger. I think I gonna have a scar. Now, I can be all cool like, " Yeah, I got that moding my lavers" 8)
I think I going to take over Canada. You should help.

i have only modded my leather lavers( :( ) so far, so i don't know about the modding of the "inside" of a laver...but i know that the tools I, and Spadrick, used to do the mods WILL do damage if we slip up modding mesh...they are profesional wood carving tools....slice and dice leather like nobodies business :twisted: ....maybe we should have 911 on speed dial just incase?
