Damn that’d be hard as fuck, nollie to switch manual is fucking hard. I think I’ve done decent half cab nose manny in my life, all the rest are terrible. Half cab manuals feel lovely though, I’ve always wondered if I could half cab back 5-0 on something higher than a curb but it never happens. Fuck now I want to skate
Yeah always feel like frontside nollie fakie manny would work but feels so awkward to lock into! Would love that one
Trick with any rotation to nose/fakie manny is to slightly under rotate, then when your wheels bite it dulls the rotation. Otherwise if you go full 180 into it you just keep pivoting round.
Not that I’m any authority on the subject… I suck.
Nah mate you’re right. Well, that’s how I do them. They’re hard!
Oh cool so I’m doing the right thing, I figured it was just me skating weird. Might try and under rotate some half cab K and see what happens. Mine tend to go nose grindy and then I can’t get out
Think of it as an overturned half cab noseslide.

Lovely 2nd Bday with my boy. Very spoilt by his whole family. Xmas in 2 weeks so the presents come again … I know he’ll be hyped. Everything he opened he just went Woooooowwww.
Driven 600 miles this week. Monday to Monday. Fucked is an understatement. With a foot that’s still fucked.

sick! how long has that taken? Are they processing things faster due to lack of offshore applications?
Congratulations.
After 14 years of living in Melbourne, I still don’t have my Australian citizenship.
Been here 7 years but you can apply after 5, and I think it took the 8 months they say it will at the start which surprised me as I’ve always found the visas have been way quicker to get each time I’ve applied over the years.
Cheers. I guess if you have permanent residency you don’t have to take any further steps if you don’t want to.
That’s what I thought until I got pulled aside by customs last year returning from NZ.
I need to do it within the next 5 years… so at 4 years of procrastinating to go.
school’s out for christmas!

Three days on from this post I put in the Not Stoked thread…
…I’m missing my boy so much and I’ve decided I can’t live without a dog. So at 4pm today I pick up my new pup Dennis. It’s such a weird sensation going from episodes of pure sadness to suddenly feeling excited. What was going to be a quiet and miserable Christmas is now going to be pretty goddam great

Congrats! They leave a massive hole in your life and when you’re used to having a pet running around the place and they’re gone the house just feels all wrong.

Yeah the Mrs said the day after “This doesn’t feel like our home anymore. Maybe we should move”. I think a new dog was the simpler option haha
