skate journal: brief garage randomness (jan 15, 2019)

Went out to the garage right before dinner. Randomly decided to try and manual the plastic 2×10 thing I have from the SWAB ledge. Got kinda close. It’s scary because it’s so narrow. Then I tried back nosegrinds for a bit. Then Liz gave me a ‘3 minute’ warning and I decided to try a treflip in that time and got one 8th try. It’s still surprising to me how much easier smaller boards flip around.

(setup old 8″ null, venture 5.2 v-hollow high trucks, 50mm bones stf, 3 speed washers on the inside of each axle to make it feel a little wider, bones medium bushings, Adidas City Cups b/w size 12, stock insoles)
(pain level 3/10)
