Finally got the chance to skateboard a normal mini ramp this past weekend, despite the brutal weather here in the northeast. The intense heat and humidity have really tested my limits during skateboarding sessions. I also spent some time with ‪@fatdadskatesbad‬ at a super fun skate park. Be sure to check out our session on his channel linked below.
I'm excited to share a new skateboarding tips video soon, along with updates on my progress, so stay tuned. Whether you're a beginner or just getting back in to skateboarding young or old, I hope you're making progress and thoroughly enjoying the ride.

Last, I don’t really follow many skateboarding KZfaq channels mainly because I follow digital art and filmmaking channels. However, the channels below are ones I started following throughout my skateboarding journey, I love watching their content and chatting with them from time to time. They may not know it, but they certainly are a source of inspiration to me, and regardless of your age, gender, etc., I am certain you can find some inspiration too.

Surfing-I finally got to go and was able to get right back on the board. Unfortunately, filming and capturing the moments has been a bit of a challenge. Sorry, eventually I will get some clips up, but for now, I will primarily focus this channel on skate content. If you want to see what the waves are like here in the Northeast USA, check out my buddy ‪@CVRRENT‬ he's an amazing filmer and puts up great videos. I also follow Surf Exchange Company; they have a couple of videos and are pretty active on Instagram.

Thanks! It was great to get on a mellow transition and just try things I was a bit hesitant to try on the tighter ones. It's wild; I never thought I'd have subs or even 10 videos on here. But I love making videos, tracking my progress, and it's just awesome to connect with all kinds of people who share the skateboarding itch. This has been a really fun experience so far, and I hope to connect with more people and hopefully, like you, show others that it's never too late to start skateboarding again or to just start.🙌

Nice tricks dude! Like the fakie shuv and the F/S disaster on the mini! I can’t get disasters but I’ll keep trying. I like the Blunt to 50 or axle stall attempts, I’d like to get them on mini 👌🏻👊🏻

Thanks, Simon! I get the disasters much better on mellow transitions and mimicking the motions for the frontside 180 with a good amount of shoulder wind-up and twist. On the tighter transitions, getting back in seems to be an issue, more about timing the front foot to help pop back in. Blunt tricks used to be my favorite when I was growing up; it's been so much fun figuring them out again

Thanks, man! The deck is a SciFi Fantasy Jerry Hsu "Locked File" 8.25wW32L. I recently swapped out my Independent Mids for Thunder Hollow Lights, which I friggin' love. The wheels are Powell Nano Cubics 54mm 93a, a pretty good all-around wheel so far, but on really crusty pavement, they are not happy. The bearings are Bones Reds, and Shorty's hardware keeps it all together.

@@t3r083 yeah I can imagine, when I swapped out it was a big difference. Actually weighed the indys then thunders, think it was a 16-18 gram difference. Also love krooked and Mark Gonzales, used to be my go to boards back when I was skating regularly.
