Got out for an hour earlier. Difficult week being busy at work and the whole shite with my son. Nice to get out.
Took a few dirty ones trying to front board the ledge longer than normal. Aiming for about 3ft but pretty difficult forcing them through and every fall is a run out onto your back 
Managed the first skate of the year today. The sun was out and wasn’t as rusty as I feared.
Couple of hours. New shoes. Fuck my life.
Didn’t you wear them to work for at least two weeks before skating them?
I usually try to go skating with new shoes on an old board for a couple quick sessions first and I just do ollies and axle stalls on curbs in a car park, then I set up a new board and skate it with my almost new shoes. Seems to work even if the process is always a bit draining.
Got an hour skating flat in the sun yesterday and it was glorious.
I hardly ever skate in new shoes. Always do a shift as chillers first.
I love new shoes.
I have skated the same model of shoes for like 4 years. But yer love it, Aloha Supers don’t need breaking in!
It’s not my first rodeo lads. Yeah, about a month on and off, broken in fine…
They’re Buesnitz with a white sole. Which has no grip at all. The Busenitz with gum soles I had last year took maybe an hour to get past this stage, but these are still slippy after 2 hours constant skating. I’ll give them another hour then I’ll sack them off as I have other shoes, 2 pairs I know will skate straight out of the box haha.
Did you try doing the laces up? 
Huzzah! Just over an hour tonight and the shoes finally started working after about 30 minutes. I did start getting annoyed again but kept a lid on it as there were a couple of lads from out of town at the park and I didn’t want to bum anyone out that doesn’t know me. I prefer people leaving stoked and wanting to come back as it helps my mate keep the doors open 
I’ve had 4 pairs of buzenitz and no two have been the same in feel, size or quality. It’s a shame because loved the original black and gold ones.
Pretty sure the black and gold ones had magic dust in them
You ok hun?
On a sidenote, those floors always look like they’d be so good to skate on.
Gone filming - one clip tonight, super close to a second.
Nice, did a couple of hours just to decompress. Nothing happening really as I’m too much of a fanny to properly commit to 5-0’s any more.
It’s all in your head. You can do them. Just go for it, nothing terrible can happen and you know it. Start on a curb if that makes things easier. Go champ!
I have got them f/s, sorry, pretty consistent on the low (angle iron) ledge. We’d put the low ledge in front of the main ledge to enforce a minimum grind length of maybe 6ft or so as you have to get on before the low ledge is in the way if that makes sense. The main ledge is about 9" high so maybe 4" higher than the low angle iron ledge and has a more rounded edge. Just those two small differences mess me up!
Defo the ledge at fault here and not me
Just to clarify … I am filming - not being filmed.
I think I saw on your oxford tapes insta thingymajig, filming your mate Jason?
Yer man, so hyped he is sober now. Very proud of him.
