skate journal: flatground friday struggles (march 15, 2019)
Posted in Skate Journal on March 16th, 2019 by corpoAfter work on a cool Friday I stopped at the dog park. I wasn’t feeling very good or motivated, but I tried. It took a bit to get the warm up line (kf, no comply 180 , fakie flip), but when I got the fakie flip it felt extra good. I got a first try halfcab flip and though this session was going to get real good. Nope. I couldn’t do another halfcab flip and I struggled with everything. I got a few heelflips, couple fs hc flips. Hucked nollie inward heel. Landed on treflip, but didn’t ride away. Then just started trying no comply 360 shoves. It took about 20 minutes. On the way back I would switch ollie a tiny puddle. Throughout the session I got wheelbite a lot. It was driving me nuts. I have the lower forged baseplates on so I guess I’ll switch back to the regular ones. I can’t believe how much wheelbite I get with 53s. Never again.
(setup 8.38 null lazer deck, venture ftc 5.8s with forged baseplate, venom 88a bushings, bones stf v1 pj 53mm wheels with all washers on the outside, new balance numeric 379 all black size 12, stock insoles)
(pain level 3/10)
