A work in progress vol 2

Skateboarding is! Here is a video of some of my less-good (ok not a word) skating. I am tired of not having any visual content to post. I want to document my progress, so I dragged my wonderful wife away from cooking dinner to shoot three minutes of skating. She was holding my sweet daughter in one arm the camera in the other and swatting mosquitos away at the same time. My girl is a super hero! Thanks babe! On the other hand my skating is not where I want it to be, I am low on sleep, I skipped lunch and had poison, I mean coffee. This contributed to my major sketch style in this vid. Oh well it will make later vids look that much better!

Out with the old....

I used to grab behind my front heal for about 99% of my backside airs (see first two pics). It always worked great for the "pre-grab" airs of the old days... Last week I decided to change my "go to" backside grab from behind my front heal to the standard "in front of the front heal grab". This works much better with the "late grab". Now, I can get a better pump into the transition and go higher. My goal is the top of the safety rail! (about four feet).

88-ish Little Park ramp

The Little park ramp had amazing views. It blew over during a wind storm. This ramp was later cut down to four feet high, a victum of the mini ramp craze..... what a shame.
