Another day another setup change. I really thought this was the one. I know people are telling me to stick with one setup, but now that I have freed my mine of my loyalty to Venture I’m trying to find what I actually like. I though 8.5 with royals would be the ticket. It was not. I started off alright at Boulder park around 7am. Most of the time I was there another dude was skating, but we didn’t interact at all. I took a while to get down on the various bump to ledges. The board still felt very hefty which I was not excited about. Also they did not grind very well. I did skate hard, I just didn’t land anything. I did make myself ollie up onto the old ledge and ride down it several times. Also finally did a bunch of roll ins to setup for bump to ledge bails. But I was happy to finally easily do a bunch of roll ins. Had some crooks, a couple kickflips to fakie on the little bank that barely got around and hucked a bunch of back 270 kickflips over the hump that were not very close. I ended by taking way to long to do a line of ollie a little hump (and try not to get ghost pop which kept happening), noseslide to fakie the bench, halfcab flip over the hump. It did feel good though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
