    yeah its like a 360 landing in a pivot to finish it off. Got it in a game of bank SKATE with Mustafiz he dropped his board and walked away haha

    just keep skating man, every day its dry outside, i do. Sure im sore and tired a lot but but you get used to it. I find i get stiff more than sore though, a little flatground warm up and im loose and ready to go.

    Speaking of loose, loosened my trucks another quarter turn. The front one has started to jiggle a bit when you shake the board. Its not Deawon loose but im getting there and its feeling better the looser I go...

    Hell yeah..
    Yeah I've got like an hour and a half before dark
    I think I'll go try to get a few tricks
    watch out for wheel bite man..
    I skate with mine tight I like them that way so I can adjust like if I decide to bomb a hill or something
    I've never really messed with anything on boards though I've always skated them with just about full tightness.

    Yeah everyone's got different preferences, Mullen always skated as tight as it would go for freestyle, and i prefer the opposite. I love the loose trucks for bombing hills too, although i prefer carving hills these days rather than bombing. Really getting more into the dogtown and z boys kinda skating these days...

    For sure..
    Here's what I got done.. it feels like I pulled something..
    Probably won't skate till this weekend.
    Fakie one foot impossible flip thing lol completely vertical.. hardest part.. definitely not constant yet but I landed it smoooth
    Fakie one foot hardflip under bounce got those smooth as shit too.. didn't think I'd be able to hover above that one but I did and it looks crazy.
    Manual firecracker on a pretty far apart 5 set
    rail flip to fakie
    wall plant to toss under
    I want to attempt ollie wallplant toss unders but it's pretty scary jumping at something haha
