skate journal: short garage session (nov 22, 2019)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on November 23rd, 2019 by corpo

While finishing up my day of work from home I went out to the garage on a cold evening. I had switched to my 8.5″ setup since the latest 8.75s that arrived now have the same wheelbase. Argh. I also wore some old PJ shoes. I figure I should switch things up with shoes sometimes and the garage doesn’t really matter much. I did a few shoves, nollies, 180s etc to get warmed up. Then did kickflip and fakie flip. Tried switch flip and nollie flip. I didn’t get too close, but I did commit to most tries. They just don’t flip enough. I got heelflip, then tried for fakie heel and got stuck on it for awhile. After that treflip on the 10th try, then a couple more tricks before dinner.

(setup 8.5″ null nolan deck, venture 5.8 titanium hanger with cast baseplate, 3 washers inside each axle, 53mm sml og wide wheels, bones medium bushings, new balance numeric pj 533 grey/red size 13)
