skate journal: more garage flat some stuff (jan 8, 2025)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on January 8th, 2025 by corpo

Another winter night out in the garage. I made it over 10 days on my 8.3 slappy low setup before a switch. I stuck with my 8.5 thunder setup tonight and loved it. Got a few kickflips in a row, a lot of not close nollie flips, took too long to halfcab flip, quick b/s flip, a couple heelflips in a row that felt so great, a couple meh treflips, remotely close to a GleNBD back heel.

(setup null 20 years 8.5/14.25, null grip, thunder hollow light 149 bones medium bushings, 52mm spitfire f4 99a orange/black swirl, new balance numeric 574 vulc half 272 insole)
(pain level 3/10)

skate journal: garage flat 3 shove and nollie flip attempts (jan 7, 2025)

Posted in Skate Journal on January 8th, 2025 by corpo

Went out to the garage on a cold night, skated flat for about 45 minutes. Basically started with nollie flip attempts since I have a bet going with Joe. A couple were close, but not both feet on close. I kind of switched around boards since I had another in the garage. 8.5/14.25 with thunders and I could kickflip infinitely better so I mostly stuck to it. I did a few other basics. Randomly tried 3 shove which I haven’t done in forever and got one in a few tries.

(setups 8.3 with slappy lows, 8.5 with thunders and 440s)
(pain level 6/10)
