skate journal: brief garage flippers on a new board (april 4, 2025)

Posted in New Deck, setup change, Skate Journal on April 5th, 2025 by corpo

On a snowy Friday I went to the garage. I had been kind of sick the last couple days, but wanted to get the legs moving. I had a new deck, different setup. Basically after chatting with Lord Degros he recommended this setup. 8.3, Indys, 51mms. Warming up felt great just doing ollies and shoves. Kickflips were okay. Took forever to get a b/s flip, but I blame my legs from not exercises for 3 days. At the end I hucked varial heel and nollie flip, varial heel was remotely close.

(setup 6/10 null keyhole 2 8.3, jessup ultragrip, indy forged hollow knox 149 royal bushings, 51mm spitfire f4 99a classic, new balance numeric 440v2 wide navy size 12 half insole and currex runpro insoles)
(pain level 5/10 felt so uncoordinated)

skate journal: dog park basics on the way to work (april 1, 2025)

Had a bit of time on the way into work so I stopped by dog park. It was cloudy and cool, but not cold and it felt great. I had told myself I need to do 4 basics before I could leave. Manual, front 50 the bench, halfcab noseslide the bench and ollie something. I would get them all, the front 50 taking the longest. Had some good feeling back 50s on the curb. Skated my 8.5/14.25 with Thunders. It was pretty mid. Ended with an ollie over the kinked round bar with a little wheel bonk. It was a decent quick morning session.

(setup 3/10 8.25/14.25 null 20 year, null grip, thunder 149 hollow lights with bones medium bushings, 52mm spitfire f4 99a classic, new balance numeric 440v2 wide navy size 12 with half insole and currex runpro insole)
(pain level 3/10)
