skate journal: cold flatground that didn’t hurt (march 1, 2017)
Posted in Skate Journal on March 2nd, 2017 by corpo
After Dave bailed on me I went to the Dog Park on a cool day with a cold wind. I wanted to try some vulcs because the PJs with orthotics were just too much. I went for some old Lakai Manchesters with the Superfeet insoles and it seemed good. I skated for about 30 minutes. Took a bit to get kickflips. I had no confidence, but my knees were not hurting. It was kind of wonderful. I literally did not land much of anything other then kickflip. Some no complies, a bunch of 180s, one terribly slow backside flip. But it felt like the start of me being able to skate for real again and for that it felt awesome.
(setup 8.25 Null future deck, venture 5.8 wides, 3 washers outside each axle, Venom 88a bushings, 52mm Spitfire F4 conical 99a pink/purple wheels, bronson bearings, Lakai manchesters b/w 11 superfeet insoles)
