Took a lunch break to Blue Skies and it was sooo nice out. I went with the Strikes again and this time felt like they have some potential. I took a bit to get a warm up line of boardslide a flat bar, kickflip on flat, noseslide down an escalator ledge, b\/s nollie on the bank, crooks the ledge. I mostly lined things out the whole time. Had a couple front board jibs, a few halfcab flips, a heelflip, ollies over the lowest part of the dragon rail. Ended doing a crook jib on the escalator ledge followed by front 50 attempt on the lowest ledge which I kind of did but also rode along the top slowly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After work I met Dave at Valmont park. He was battling back bigspin over the hip and would get a really smooth one. Then he went on to line out several b\/s flips over the hip too with back d on the little qp, back tail on the volcano, front ride the barrier. I got quite a few kickflips quickly. To fakie on the mellow bank, b\/s on a hump. Went on to do a line of f\/s flip on the mellow bank then kickflip to fakie on the shark fin. I was pretty hyped on that. Then I failed at treflips to fakie on the bank for a while and Dave had to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I went over to dog park. Was hyped that Jamison and Robbie were there ripping. I thought I would do basically nothing, but I ended up doing a few basics. Crooks on the bench was fun, front 50 the lurb was hard because the Strikes are so cushiony they absorb pop, slappies, couldn’t get kick back 50. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lotta skating. Really sore a day later writing this. I was hoping these strike shoes would avoid that, but alas it doesn’t appear there will ever be a perfect skate shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
