skate journal: more school flatground lunch break (june 13, 2025)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on June 13th, 2025 by corpo

Went to the school during a lunch break in the sunny hot part of the day. Made the slightest change to my setup, 8.25 axles. Felt infinitely better. I wore my last resorts which were more comfy too. I only skated about 30 minutes. I didn’t skate great, but I did get some of the basic kickflip flippers and was close on some heelflips.

(setup 7/10 8.25 null time warp, null grip, thunder team hollow 148, spifire f4 99a radial slim green, last resort cm002 brown size 11.5 with currex runpro insoles)
(pain level 4/10)

skate journal: small trucks windy flatground (june 12, 2025)

Was sore, side hurting, not overly motivated but it was so nice out after the rain. That is until I went skating. It looked like it would rain more, but instead it just got incredibly windy. For a while on the side of the school I was able to avoid it behind the trees. I had put 8″ team hollows on my 8.25. I almost fell on my first push. I went on to think the setup was okay at times, but really it felt way too small for me. I couldn’t heelflip it which was weird. I had gotten 7 kickflip variations pretty quickly then stalled out and the wind kicked in something fierce so I left.

skate journal: dog park slace blah (june 11, 2025)

Stopped by dog park on the way home from work. I was super exhausted but I could see on maps that traffic was terrible so why not let the traffic die down? I had nothing, hated my setup change. Had some okay noeslides, but other than that completely eliminated slappy/ace highs from my consideration.
