After a few days off from skateboarding due to hurting my shoulder and achilles snowboarding I went out to the garage. I had the intention of skating my 8.3, but after a couple kickflips were too much effort I busted out the putter. It felt ridiculously small, silly and amazing. Like seriously amazing and it took me back to the early 2000s when I rode 7.5″ for a couple years. I rattled off a few of the stock tricks then got stuck in fakie varial heel land for quite some time. I never got one, but was very close. Went on to try treflips and would get a few ‘garage makes’. Shoulder felt fine, I was hyped.

(setup 7.5″ 303, venture 5.0 v-hollow low, 50mm spitfire f4 99a classic shape, new balance numeric 288s white size 11.5 no insoles)
(pain level 3/10 achilles/some shoulder)
