how often do you break your skate?

just wondering how often you break your skate. i bought one of the origonal 7 ply skates from cassettee and it's still fine. i didn't ride it that much but after riding in ditches after a flood i took several gouges out of it and then gave it to one of my friends. he coated it with water repelant deck sealer, rode it every day this summer, and has been hitting rails on it since september and it's still holding up just fine.

This past season I broke like 3 skates in about a one month period. It was strange because I rode all season without breaking a deck then all of a sudden I snapped a few in a row. No more after that though, but then I got a 4 Trac so maybe that's why.

my got kind of beat up when i used it as a snow skate the other day, which is so much fun. i'm just hopeing it will hold up so i can use it on the sliders when the cable parks opens around here so i don't have to use my new one.
