    Mad beard skillz!

    At our local park there's a down sloped manny pad and after first trying it last summer and failing probably somewhere in the hundreds. Yesterday finally managed to nollie nose wheelie down it. Horrendous self props afterwards but didn't give a shit. Stoked!

    Legit slappy sesh today. Even jank ones are fun. Variations include sal flip tail stall fingerflip out, no comply seatbelt to tail stalls, one footed five os, one footed tailslides and im real close to just up n down front blunt nose pivot out. Im thinking manual spins into stalls would be fun, trying that tomorrow. Only a few hours during the day cars arent parked blocking them, worth it.

    Its a pretty odd area actually but I found a nice apartment aound here just a few miles from the kentucky bridge. There is a park a few miles away and some real nice ones in florence kentucky I dont have a car but I still get around plenty of street gems hidden if you go looking. I realize stalls on slappys are odd but its something.. stepping up from flat feels great. Ill likely do banks next. Ive done salflip tail fingerflip out down the hubba in NY once. The flat preperation always helps me so well see what I get when I step up even further, in due time.

    I didnt think that trick was a big deal honestly even down the hubba. Just so were clear ive always known a salflip as a caveman variation. Pop it into your hand, quick step off whip around and back under you but in this case I did it to a tailslide fingerflip out. I talked about caveman blunts a while back but I never got around to landing them. Now those are tough.

    That is a seatbelt grab during a crook, if you were uncertain what the picture meant.

    Well it looks like hes riding goofy thats my stance too. Its a pretty subtle grab on flat but I do them in switch, is it not a seatbelt grab then? grab terminology might be off I dont do much there. Is switch crail a trick? I mean as said all my no comply stuff I do switch. If seatbelts the tail I guess its a crail then my bad. I grab the nose switch.

    a no comply crail tail stall is entirely possible, switch or not, crail is grabbing the nose with your back hand, seatbelt is grabbing the tail with your front hand. So in turn, a seatbelt to a tail stall would smash your fingers, unless you're fast about it and take it off before you land in it, haha. You're crazy for learning no complies switch though. I see how you would consider it a seatbelt though, being switch.

    Right on. Haha people always say that man. It came naturally though goofy riders should try it. Ive actually done a few body varials with it on flat its pretty quick though. Ill have to do a vid sometime. Not sure when ill be up and running again but ive got some ideas flowing that im pretty stoked on.
