skate journal: valmont garage finally fakie crook success (sept 21, 2022)
Had a short amount of time and it was raining and my garage is a mess so I drove across town to an abandoned garage to skate for 45 minutes. I had put Ventures on. I like it. I thought. I mean I did like them more than Thunders, but flip tricks were still really hard. I went in on the fakie front crooks. The one above was actually the first one I did. I tried to grind further and I did scoot a couple along, but none were as “quick” as the one above. I can’t believe how hard that trick is. I took a long time to get fakie flip, Halfcab flip was quick. Couldn’t get treflip or fakie bigflip.
