A Toft design, 8 wheeler. Custom bearings, wheel wells, lifters, extended trucks. Was made for me to go faaaaast down hills but I could also do most tricks as well. Helps when your friend has a skateboard factory.

Those were the days. Skateboard competitions, scouring the streets and malls at 3 am. This was my board. Custom design by Wee Willy Winkles in Canada.
Here is me back in the day riding it.

BeBopALouie@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Q: What will a violent summer in the US mean for Canada?English1·3 days agoHistory shows that when shit gets that bad that physical encounters are pretty much the only solution. The alternative is to live under fascist rule.
I always think of this line from the Talking Heads which seem to be appropriate for these times.
“ Patience is a virtue, but I don’t have the time”.
BeBopALouie@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Only Alberta Will Claw Back New Federal Money for Disabled PeopleEnglish4·3 days agoI agree. Both liberal and conservative suck. Canadians need to decide whether they want to help the disabled or not. Do not leave us hanging. We are a family of 3 permanently disabled people. Live in Ontario.
Ford is a soulless excuse for a human being for what he is doing to thousand of young/adult disabled people. It is a page right out of the fascist handbook.
Ford has literally gutted ODSP and his abhorrent handling of the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) is disgraceful and hurtful.
They combined Ontario works and ODSP. One noticed immediately a difference. The workers treated ODSP recipients like they were Ontario works recipients. They sent out job search forms, etc. to people that were permanently disabled and incapable of working and humiliating them (ask most disabled people, they will say one of their dreams is to actually go out and work so to have these forms sent to them is literally a slap in the face) because these workers were never trained on how to deal with the disabled only people that were unemployed.
We can no longer email our local ODSP office anymore, no more one on one workers, you are tossed into a pool and they rarely call back if ever.
We had to actually get a lawyer involved just to contact the ODSP office to get anything done after 6 months of us calling with no call back in that 6 months. Things ODSP used to cover, gone.
Our child has autism and epilepsy. He has never ever had any form official therapy, guidance of any kind due to Doug Ford and gang. We were “approved” for OAP and SSAH almost 3 years ago but are still on the waiting list to actually get funding. Our case is not unique, there are literally 1000’s of Autistic kids/adults that are not getting ANY therapy that they need to exist and communicate in society. This will lead to more violent altercations with police due to limited communication skills due to lack of therapy and more hospital visits plus more that will by carried by taxpayers down the road for years if not decades. Guess Ford does not care about down the road while he and his gang fill their pockets.
We ar very grateful for all that we receive. We do not expect anything. The Ford government promised OAP, SSAH and more but have not held true to that promise. Doug Ford is truly despicable for not helping thousands of his fellow Canadians that are disabled kids and adults and leaving them in the lurch.
