skate journal: garage blah (oct 10, 2019)

Posted in Skate Journal on October 11th, 2019 by corpo

Went out to the garage on a cold/snowy night still fighting a cold a little. I immediately hated how stiff the indy bushings felt. I took awhile to do the nose manual shove warm up then took way too many tries to land a kickflip. So then I hucked switch heels for awhile. I felt like a few were pretty close and I committed, but never got both feet on one.

(setup 8.5 null nolan deck, Venture 5.8 trucks (cast baseplate titanium hanger), indy 90a bushings , bones stf v5 54mm wheels, 3 washers inside each axle, new balance numeric 306 foy b/w size 12, footprints gamechanger insoles)
(pain level 5/10)

Starting to feel a little better after catching a cold I went to the curbs across the street at the very second the winter storm kicked in with a fierce wind. I did a couple slappy crooks, a couple ollies, and a front slappy and left. I had new wheels and my 8.5 setup. The STFs felt real good on the street.

(pain level – I don’t know since I lasted about 5 minutes)
