skate journal: sauls with saul and eric (march 2, 2017)

Went to Saul’s after work. I’m writing this almost a week later so my recollection of what happened wont be good. It was a fun session. All of us rolled in on the easy side. I had to do kickflips on flat to get myself hyped enough to do the roll in. Eric also rolled in on the gnar coping. Saul’s got back 50s on the gnar coping often now. I had some runs with more than one axle stall so that was exciting. Eric was trying to ride on grind around the corner, but never quite committed. I never quite got a frontside scratch grind in the deep end. Saul and Eric had a couple near death experiences. Maybe I should be trying harder stuff so I can get scared too.

I was trying vulcs with FP Gamechanger insoles. As I learned later in pain, that is not going to help my knee pain.

(setup 8.25 Null future deck, venture 5.8 wides, 3 washers outside each axle, Venom 88a bushings, 52mm Spitfire F4 conical 99a pink/purple wheels, bronson bearings, Lakai manchesters b/w 11 FP geamechanger insoles)
