skate journal: just some flatground in front of the house (july 17, 2015 day 193)

Posted in Skate Journal on July 17th, 2015 by corpo

Another day of working from home watching Ollie. 6pm came and I couldn’t talk him into skating. Doh. So after a really fun nerf dart gun battle I went out and skated in front of the house. Only this time I wore my old PJ shoes that hadn’t died. I’m not really sure why. I guess I don’t really like the Accel Slims all that much and I wanted to see how the PJs felt compared to them. The Es would not make it through my trip to NYC in a week and I don’t want to switch shoes mid trip. The PJs seem like they will last forever. Literally.

Ok, enough stupid talk about me obsessing over my setup and making excuses (but I am proud that I didn’t setup smaller wheels again). I started off slow as I always do, but I ended up feeling pretty good on my board. I got a lot of wheel bite as I’m not used to those bigger wheels. Did the ugliest treflip ever. Came super close to nollie flip. Got my first nollie tre in awhile. Heelflips actually left the ground. Had a great feeling f/s halfcab flip. Did a line of fakie varial flip then switch varial flip. I landed stopped on the switch one, but it still felt pretty neat. I like the NBs more then the Es.
