Just persevered to get 45 mins at a park in freezing temps but #perfectblues
even my skate-garage is below freezing. it’s hard work to even warm up but i love winter skating. i usually start a new deck early December and keep it for much longer than i normally would. by early February i know that its going to be a pop-less, soggy, battered thing but usually fun for learning some new bits on
First chance in ages so I had a little play in the only not icy part of my local earlier.
Couple of very low impact manoeuvres but it was good and left me wanting more.
On ledges?
6” high which is likely too low
Back out sat or sun night so going to try again then
You got this. Don’t think, just go for it.
Going to see if I can get a quick skate in tomorrow afternoon. We shall see…
I might skate with a local crew on Sunday. Usual kerb/ledge spot.
In the words of Transworld trick tips, ‘real G’s don’t drag their tail’
I like a dug in tail down 5-0. Bite me.
Yeah, laughed yesterday when I saw that.
I think I need to revisit the trick tips from issue 1 to the most current issue
FS 5-0 should be tail down, BS 5-0 should be balanced IMO
Agreed
Here’s the Youtube series!

Weather thwarted any car park action so down the local indoor later on
Hour and a half last night. Had a really good skate. Paying for it today though.
Out last Tuesday but wasn’t feeling it really and did that thing when you do try to pop a kickflip high but instead do a really shitty mobbed kickflip and the rail of your deck takes a few inches of skin off the shin of your leading leg. That sucked and still sucks now as it hurts.
Back out tonight - forced myself as I was tired. Could bore the pants off you guys but I tried a b/s 50-50 b/s 180 out on a little block, it worked out and I got one a couple of tries later. Big fucking win as b/s stuff is really hard for me. Get home, could of beers, open Youtube and I see this…
Of course mine was dog shit in comparison but just stoked by the coincidence. Happy days!
