"Im actually feeling pretty good right now" haha
I've bailed at high speed but not that fast..
all I know is with a decent amount of speed cooking up when you bail it's more of a whiplash than anything
almost like a state of numb that hurts later.
im gonna skate with Mustafiz filming tomorrow morning for like 20 mins, should have a nice little flatground vid by the end of the weekend if all goes well
I was trying to fakie flip this loading ramp not too long ago, but you need to get pulled by a car doing it. So I was hauling ass switch and hit a crack or a pebble or something going up the ramp and flew and landed directly on my left shoulder.
Skating fast is scary but so much fun.

I've found if you lean back a tiny bit and put almost no pressure on your feet you can cruise over rocks.. even with small ass wheels.
One of the guys I used to skate with as a teenager still suffers from very bad seizures from cracking his head on a hill bomb. Smaller wheels, speed wobbles, tiny rocks, and him with no helmet. Messed him up pretty bad when that wheel pinched and threw him. I have another friend who lost a ball when he janked out a boardslide on a 6 step rail and landed full nutter. You gotta be careful out there. I have a nice medical file of broken, sprained, and tweaked muscles and bones from hucking myself off just about anything I could climb up on. Skate smarter than I did as a kid.

When parents ask me about skating or snowboarding, I always tell them I'm a prime example as to why their kid needs to wear a helmet. Seven concussions later, my short term... Uh... Crap... Short term... What the heck is that... Oh well, I can't rememember, but it's not very good anymore.
got my halfcab heels down (never really tried them until my friend would always give me a letter at SKATE with it so I learned them lol), i'm getting close to get switch and reg fs bigspins, and i'm coming close to landing inward heel, hardflip and varial heel and a couple other ones too... hopefully i'll get them over the summer, along with other tricks I'm thinking of trying
360 double flip (Tre flip with a double flip), Switch big flips, triple flips
Hesitation.....Kills
fuckin shit idk, learned a lot last year and dont really feel up to expanding too much but i guess ive been working on the merlin twist and switch big heel. everything else is like....bleh.
if anything the question should be what new spots have you used your new tricks on this year.
tried merlin twist off a curb.....swag...
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
I've been skating the local tennis courts..
found a nice slappy that goes down a long mellow hill
my apartment complex is pretty fun.
I might be filming tomorrow if all goes well.. but be warned tricks are not as clean as I'd like them yet.
Fs Bert slide
Fs 360 Bert slide
Boneless a hip
Still trying to learn more..
don't really have a lot of flatground tricks yet, it's a lot more of being comfortable and knowing your board and its rotations..
or so it seems.
I got the fakie one footed revert.. gotta plant as you lose traction.
oh, you are doing a footplant as you fakie pivot? or just a one foot?
my fakie 540 one foot is more of a manual wheel bite spin with the foot being off for the first 360, but theres no plant.
i can do about 10 walk the dogs quick, right into space walk shuvs, and i can do multiple one foot pivots in any direction any foot now.
It seems the looser my trucks the more control im getting. loosened em another quarter turn today

yesterday i landed a boardslide and a 50-50 on a ten set rail. i almost have blunt slides on handrails, i have tre flips on lock, fs flips on lock, back lips back smiths fs smith working on blunt 180 outs on tranny, and some mo shit
BREAST MILK MADE ME STRONG
I don't know what to call them but I made a few new tricks today
slide back to one foot pop a hardflip get half of the rotation into a fence while off the board jump back on looks pretty interesting
Uh quad toss unders I guess its like a caveman flip but I slide back to one foot pop up I grab the middle of the board and flick a quad rotation
One footed reverts without the plant.. mad steez.
Getting more technical with sal flip's to 360 shuv outs
manualed a little longer
yep
oh and coming close to rail flip to rail..
they are so scary haha

really hard to picture you doing these things antwan, looking forward to some footy
today i got a few new ones:
540 boneless on bank
360 boneless on a bank
360 boneless a hip
Last trick I learned before my board broke was a blunt to stall on a mini at a park. Super stoked on getting them but I've probably lost them now.
boneless manual, and caveman manual down this bank:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4S6S...el_video_title
found this new little outdoor park, super slippery marble kinda ground, tonnes of new bert slide variations on the banks, pyramids ect Felt real cool, like skating on ice, you can like lay all the way back and just slide
im starting to learn now this year so maybe by the end of the summer i won't be such a lazy fatass.
ollie
bs shuv
that's pretty much it.
It happens man.. Weather has been terrible for me here so I can't even skate though I want to.
That's sick though man getting started is the best thing once you're comfortable with the basics you can branch in any direction you want to
180's, footplants, reverts, pivots manual spins.. boneless.. no comply.. or even new fliptricks it all goes together because it's all about being comfortable
with your setup.. it's so much fun to see your progression through it all and how you learn new things from one basic idea.
thanks for the words of encouragement man. still not really confident enough to head out to parks, still resigned to the driveway for now. im still trying to work on doing both moving, i can't do either one with consistency yet but im getting there at least. felt so boss when i landed the bs shuv though, probably one of the most euphoric feelings of my life short of orgasm
Most valuable trick I learned was a Fakie bigspin. Best trick I learned was a boneless laser flip...that gets everyone in SKATE all the time.
Got sal-flip quad fingerslap body varial today
to explain it more I doubt anyone will try it but you know
A sal-flip motion but pop it a little more vertical
just let the board glide for a second don't grab it
slap the side up with enough force to get a nice quad rotation, jump while it's doing that
bolts.
boneless down a 4 set
180 boneless up a 3 set
360 boneless out of a huge bank, mustafiz said about 4 feet of air, the best feeling i've had in skateboarding yet
Flat ground 540 flip
Hesitation.....Kills
fakie half cab casper on flat
Consecutive moving 360 manual spins
up to 5 in a row with one push in between
Ive learned Nollie Inward Heels, Nollie back heels, nollie frontside flips and varial heels along with just working on tricks ive been able to do and getting them a little better.
Just got pivot fakies today. Working on Nollie back 360s. Landing them here and there, but they look sketchy at best
youtube.com/tacoman1337
got bs 180 ollie norths
i can ollie over a small couch(if that counts as a new trick...im really liking ollying over things recently. the other day i had sesh over my trash can from a little curb that acts as a small little ramp.)
bs 50-50s (i know, easiest trick but for some reason bs grinds dont work with me)
got better at ss bs 180s so i can actually roll away from them
annnd almost got an ollie north manual but right when i landed in the manual my board skimmed the ground just the tiniest bit.
these all range from a couple of weeks ago to like a month or two
oh and my friend started skim boarding so i went with him a couple times and the first day i went, i got a shuv-it. i highly recommend trying skim boarding. I loved trying to apply what i know about skateboarding to it. Like you know you can do it, its just a matter of re-figuring it out. it was sooooo much fun. and it only costs $20 for a basic board
i got overcrooks like 2 weeks ago, and im working on fakie inward heels and regualr inward heels, just gotta stick em with my front foot, same with my fakie tres
tranny: bs boneless (the plant, you know), sweeper, iceplant, blunt to back disaster, blunt to 5-0, back smith stall to rocknroll
street: fs and bs blunts (on flatbar, so more like tailslides really), fs overcrook, got my 360flips back... thats whats new

i've got a few no comply heelflips and impossibles, and no comply hardflips pretty consistent. Dont think i've ever really tried the kickflip variation. Honestly nothing feels better than just a straight no comply though, completely different trick than all the variations, will always feel the best, especially when popping 2-3 decks high
Slappy 50-50 to fs board on a parking block
Slappy Fs board 270 pivot out
Wrap around pogo to casper
1 foot 360 shuv to manual slappy bosardslide a parking block
bs 540 bert slide
I don't know if it's the proper name, but I just learned frontside body jars
