Rolling your ankle under the board has got to be the worst feeling... Literally thought I broke it.
bye skateboard for the next few days :(

I bruised my whole leg on a halfpipe a few days ago. I was trying a new trick and I fell on like the 4th try. Pop shuv-it 5-0 then revert into fakie as I am coming down. I almost got it on the first and second try, but then it just stopped working.

On an awesome note, I finally am able to do switch frontside bigspins semi-fluently. Now I just have to get the flip fluent and I have myself a show off trick :D

That sounds horrendous. I never got good at vert.... too scared to even drop in.
I'd have to wear a whole sumo suit to train

Cracked my deck in the center today. I have 10 more coming in on Wednesday so hopefully it holds until then.


Day 14 of my 30 day skate challenge :)

You sponsored, or do you live as a hermit, with decks being your only expense? =p

I used to have a sponsor by a shop, like 7 years ago lol. I quit skating for like 6 years after the shop closed (not because of that reason).

To answer your question though I just bought 10 blank boards for 115 bucks. I can skate them just as good as any brand deck and they last me twice as long. The last 10 lasted me like 12 months of skating 10+ hours per week.

I break boards a lot unfortunately.


I just looked at the tracking and shit they aren't coming until august 4th.
I gotta skate this board easy or I'm going to have to buy a placeholder :(
