Went out to Valmont with my fresh new setup. I made it even fresher with some new Venom bushings I got at Meta on the way. I felt pretty good initially and went through the various no ollie noseslide maneuvers. Struggled a bit with crooks, struggled a lot with front 50 on the medium part. Was 2-2 on treflips and kickflips felt good too. I was surprised at how close I got to nollie inward heel. Man, that would be awesome. I went into huck mode after awhile. Front smith, front tail and front crook on the medium part. Got a really bad front tail and somehow almost got a front smith too. Hucking is fun. Technically landed two kickflip noseslides, but they were not posted up at all and just dinged the edge. I’m pretty happy with the 8.25 and low trucks at the moment. It’s the first time I’ve gone run that setup. Not sure I’m feeling the bushings. Oh well. Full on nerd out on my setup in the “setup” section below.
