skate journal: short flatground in front of the house (aug 8, 2016 day 221)
Posted in Skate Journal on August 9th, 2016 by corpo
After a fun time at the Lucky’s Market grand opening I got out for a bit in front of the house. There was one big change though, no orthotic insoles! I have been researching plantar fasciitis and read about the evils of orthotics so I pulled the plug. It felt really weird at first. It ended up being alright. I landed a few basics, a couple crappy treflips, but couldn’t get a b/s flip. I was worried about hurting my back the whole time (the reason I was told to start wearing orthotics (seems like I wish they would have told me to strengthen my arch instead)). Not digging the big board.
(setup: 8.5 null message deck, venture 5.8s, thunder bushings, 52mm reed wheels, 2 washers inside each axle, nb# quincy 254 blue/gum no orthotics!)
