At one point I did a halfcab flip on the 8.3 and then on the 8.25.  The 8.3 worked, but the 8.25 felt good.  So I kind stuck to it after awhile, the 8.3 just felt kinda large and unnecessary.   Then I tried nollie varial flip for awhile and got more depressed.  Although capturing the snow falling right behind me was pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup mixture of 8.25 &amp; 8.38 setups with 5.6 trucks&nbsp;on both)<br>(pain level 3\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 35+ inches of\u00a0 spring snow throughout the week I went out on a Saturday afternoon in search of something dry.\u00a0 I found the front of one of the newer research areas.\u00a0 There is a ledge\/manny pad\/4 stair and a taller ledge with limited runway.\u00a0 There was some snow melting and falling from the roof [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[614,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-setup-change","category-skate-journal"],"wppr_data":{"cwp_meta_box_check":"No"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1j9K4-3eP","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12451"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12455,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12451\/revisions\/12455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
