I was wondering what the tape was about..
first aid tape.. alright..
Will have to get some soon.
Fucked up my thumb today.. tiny notch layer of skin missing sucks.
I think I'm going to try out a double impact board..
I doubt this is very accurate but why the hell not

finally had a nice 2 hour flatground sesh on the new board...
Its so responsive, the most subtle movements go a long way.it takes some getting used to, but im loving it. In combination with the soft wheels its made my manual/spacewalk combinations longer and better than ever. The longest one was like 45 sec haha. I'd just spacewalk in circles, doing little manuals here and there just to get my balance back, having a blast
I am going to get those Ace trucks, smaller and lighter does sound better, and it would be nice to have a thin enough truck to do primos if i ever decide to get back into them, cuz right now the indys hang out just enough to make em impossible...

I've messed with spacewalks a bit..
do you keep your shoulders straight?
I've been keeping my shoulders out right and just leaning my lower body into the spacewalk.. feels so different..
you're skating the flatter board? Never would've guessed you'd have better results.

I just stay loose, swing the arms, twisting with the hips. You have to get into a rhythm, just keep pumping.
I found the funnest way to spacewalk is to just manual around in circles, throwing in spacewalks here and there, the focus being on just keeping the manual not how big of a rotation you get on the spacewalk itself. Then just increase the ratio of spacewalk:manual and try to get them longer. Getting spacewalks to the point where you are doing a series of 180 rotations is the funnest thing but definitely takes a lot of practice to get to that level, baby steps.
I'd recommend just really working on your slow manuals, you've got the long tennis court manuals and whatnot, try manualing until you run out of speed then just keep holding it and spacewalk to get your momentum back. Switch to and from a manual to a spacewalk is a great way to quickly change your centre of gravity and momentum.

look at how mullen is doing the full 180 degree spacewalks, that may help. My board is almost the exact size and shape haha

I see.. I guess I'm trying to add my own style to it..
Probably learn the fundamentals of it first..
that video is so good.

definitely my most watched vid, always preferred Mullen's old contest line kind of stuff over his video parts. Its just really inspiring to see an almost 4 min flawless flatground run. Definitely a direction my skating has been going, less and less about a single trick, more trying to just get every trick on lock and into contest style lines, its an incredible workout and real fun
