after a slump of old guy slams I got a couple fakie to frontside 5050's on my buddy's mini ramp this arvo. Pretty stocked. A few backyard beers then a fish dinner leaves me pretty happy tonight.
keep moving people, it's great!

Is this is thread ok for my rollerboard journal reports? I re-learned mini transition rock fakies yesterday, something I haven't done for over 10yrs. Been trying for a few weeks and terrifying myself. Still got them today, so feeling comfortable with that. Today got mini ramp tail stalls for the first time. Everything I do on a skate or surfboard is half baked though. I am not getting my back wheels off the transition on the rock fakie and the tail stall is not really a stall - just tapping my tail on top of the coping.
Been hacking away at flat ground rolling ollies for months, huge amount of effort expended. I sort of have it now, they sound and feel much better. Haven't filmed myself recently, because last time I did I was really disappointed.
I gave up transition skating about 10yrs ago to focus on simple flat ground freestyle, but got a renewed interest in it after discovering I could carve transition on a surfskate - something I have never been able to do on a skate-boar - partly because I used to ride tight trucks. First mini transition trick I got back has been the axle stall some weeks ago.
edit --> haven't been on my surfskate for months. Using a wide skateboar with loose wide trucks now, I used to use a 7 3/4" deck with trucks to match.

For bowls try using 169z and a least a 8.75" deck but most important change out bushing to bones bushing or other hq bushing. I use medium at 170#s and make sure you find a good wheel base for you. Mine is around 14.5" and really like shaped decks instead of popsicles. Trucks I like them riserless " close to coping" with 55-56mm wheels and I hand tight both kingpin nuts much as I can by hand. Then I take sk8 tool and make 1/4 turn and ready for carving and then carve grinds
Long carve grinds feel like a nice floater and feels so good
That was friggin Gnar. jimmy you see the clip of jamie foy at washington school hand rail?
No not yet but love watching Jamie clips bevause he is so big and trip how much the rail(s) bend
More creative lines by Jake in the big bowl at Lincoln City, OR.
I though Brandon Biebel's transformation as weird...then I saw what happened to Forrest Kirby lol
I might go to the closest little park this morning. Final phase probably not even open yet, a couple days before the first phase opened, I broke my arm in little kidney pool so, I have to not fall, I'm only off for a week.
It's super flat here this week. Flat..

T Funk is psycho and Baker has been killing it this year. So many goods parts.
SOTY pick is gonna be tough this year between T-Funk, Nyjah and Tyshawn. Skill-wise, they’re all deserving. But T-Funk’s part feels most skateboard-y. Hills, rails, transition, gaps…
