skate journal: nappy curbs (may 4, 2021)
Got off work with some time to kill before a curb session so I went to take a little nap. But I woke up an hour later. Doh. I rolled over to meet Dave L, Saul and Rob, but I was so beat. Other than a couple normal slappies and a super lucky first try switch front slappy I didn’t do anything. I had messed with my setup to prove a point. Can you still flip a big board in cupsoles? I had 8.5 with 6.1 trucks and the answer was a resounding NO. I saw Dave do some good back 5-0s, nose mannies and almost switch 180 manual. Rob had a sick back 180 fakie 50, back 50 mongo, I think no comply back 50, tailslide, bean plant. Saul had some hook magic, solid slappies everywhere.
