Somehow ate shit dropping off a curb height ledge today. I’d been messing around with different truck tightness (still can’t get happy on these aces) and had cranked them all the way up, just to see. Think I missed the pop and my foot got stuck on the nose, the trucks didn’t turn, and I got body slammed into the ground.

Humiliating tbh. Loose trucks really do save lives

oof.
i stalled on a yellow line after tightening my trucks once, ridiculous

Are they 44’s? If you wanna sell them haha

Relearnt feeble grinds on a flat rail. If you think I did that because of that clip of Carroll doing a slappy feeble on Insta yesterday, well, you’re probably right, haha.
I can do those without any real problem but they kinda scare me as I once destroyed my ankle trying one on a rail that was far too waxed and ended being injured for 9 months. Gotta get over those fears I suppose. Felt good.

Out skating tonight after tweaking my back 10 days ago, which isn’t too long really considering. Back still isn’t 100% so it was more of a warm up session and see how things go - 10 ollies, 5 180s each way, 5 pop shuvs, 5 kick flips etc etc. Felt good, no pain just really stiff legs and torso. Happy to take that as a win. Also feels like my shoes (NB 508) are now done so shoe goo applied ready for the next skate…

Cracking night tonight. Almost fully better. Ended up over staying by 45 minutes so skated a lot. Felt like a teenager late home when I pulled onto my drive at home. No filming, just enjoying the session.
