skate journal: new pants curb dance (feb 10, 2022)
Posted in Favorite, Skate Journal on February 12th, 2022 by corpoHaving taken several days off for the achilles I reached my limit. I went over to the low curb with the intention of getting Dave’s challenge – switch back pivot shove. After some warm up attempts I set the phone down and much to my surprise would get it a few tries later. As you can tell I was pretty excited. I went on to do both nosepick shoves, but the backside one was too ugly to post (which says a lot for me). Then I wanted to do a Jack inspired back nosepick shove to pivot. It seemed possible, but the board kept flipping. I started just trying axle and would then settle for the feeblish stall. It was still really fun and now Dave has some wiggle room. Had a really fun time, did two new tricks and managed to not push at all or hurt my achilles more.
