skate journal: garage anger then landing some stuff (jan 26, 2022)
Feeling pretty good after work I went out to the garage. Things seemed to start alright until flip tricks started. I thought it was the new shoes still not having a good flick, but it was ridiculous. I could not land anything. Anger was boiling over, I was screaming, throwing my board. After several failed kickflips in a row I focused my board (it was pretty beat so don’t hate me too much). I was left with skating my 8″ and 8.3″ completes or stopping skating. I messed around on both before choosing the 8.3 and enjoying it. Would actually get a few stationary 270 flips and at one point a string of tricks in a row kickflip, fakie flip, b/s flip, halfcab flip almost treflip. Came close to halfcab heel and nollie varial flip.
(setup 8.25 then 8.3 with venture 5.8s and 50mm boardycakes NB# 288s)
