skate journal: fuller challenge across the street (may 12, 2020)
After feeling tired and disoriented all day I skipped across the street shortly before sunset on my reassembled 8.3 setup. I did about 5 minutes worth of slappies then back to the original curb to try Dave’s latest challenge to me. Front shove axle stall nollie shove. I haven’t really tried front shove 50s like I should be so I was excited to try this. I got into a few, slammed a couple times and finally got one. I made a weak attempt to get a clean one, but called it a night (Dave’s back truck wasn’t on either so technically it was exactly what he did).
(setup 8.3 null collage deck, venture 5.8 titanium hanger custom hollow cast baseplate, bones medium bushings, old 52mm spitfire f4 99a classic green/yellow swirl wheels, new balance numeric 288s white/gum size 11.5, no insoles)
(pain level 2/10)
