skate journal: some skating across the street (june 6, 2019)

Posted in Skate Journal on June 7th, 2019 by corpo

Still feeling incredibly arthritic I went across the street around 7 not expecting much of anything. I wore my beefiest shoes (868). My first couple of slappies were painful enough I almost turned around, but man I’m stubborn. I ended up having some fun. I worked into a line going north of slappy, no comply 180, fakie nosegrind. Got into some fakie nosegrinds better, but never landed all 3 at once. Going the other way I tried switch crook, but never landed it so I would huck switch front heel and nollie back heel. Both seemed doable. I committed to the nollie back heel, but didn’t make if flip enough. Then things hurt again and I went back home.

(setup 8.38″ null lazer deck, venture ftc 5.8s, doh dohs bushings (blue 88a barrel boardside one, yellow 92a roadside), bones stf v2 51mm wheels, new balance numeric 868 black/gum, westgate insoles)
(pain level 5/10 knees still bad)
