Had a couple hours in the afternoon while visiting my Mom’s to skate. I went towards the BV skatepark, but saw the scooter kids and striders and decided to just skate flat. I mean I had kind of planned on it anyway since I mostly hate that park, but the scooters were the nail in the coffin. After a terrible day the day before I decided to try vulcs with spenco insoles again. I had some extra Lakai insoles in the car so I rocked the thickness. It ended up feeling great. I skated slow, but gained some confidence. I did a few lines with the basic flippers and got to the point where I was trying lines of heelflip then treflip. Got a few heelflips and one hands down treflip. It was awesome. I also tried lines where I ollied a little water bottle, do a 180 then try fakie tricks. I probably ollied that little water bottle 50 times. It felt cool. I still don’t really like how high trucks feel with 14″ wheelbase though. Anyways, fun session. Was hyped to land a treflip even though it was hands down.
