skate journal: more light dorking at a couple mellow bank spots in boulder (feb 17, 2024)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on February 17th, 2024 by corpo

After a cold and snowy morning the sun came out and it was quite nice out. My left knee is still swollen and painful, but starting to feel better thanks to PT and not jumping. So I set out in the afternoon for some more no-pop skating. I started at basemar and half piped it at the kicker. I didn’t even know what I would do when I got there, but then started messing around with nollie shove then fakie side rock. I would end up getting all 4 of the no pop shoves combined with various side rocks. It was pretty fun even if I was hating my setup (do I ever like it?). Then I drove around until I found the bank with the side curb which was fun too. Tail to fakie and shove was really fun. I came close to a nose stall manual, but the crack got me. My knee started to hurt a bit so I called it a day after driving around and looking at a few other spots.

skate journal: a couple sloppy slappy crooks (feb 15, 2024)

Going crazy not skating. Had to get out on my board. Went across the street and did a couple of slappy crooks through some puddles. Maybe an ollie and nollie or two.
