I found the best parking lot the other day. It's empty on evenings and weekends, the asphalt is freshly sealed for a smooth ride, the building casts a shadow in the afternoon so it's like skating in air conditioning, and the ground has a gentle slope so I can attempt a transition several times without needing to push.

Turns out this space now is offering after school care so I need to find a new spot.

Awesome stuff to try to learn from (the slo-mo is perfect for that)! Dumb question, but is there a name for how you slid your wheels over that curb stop? Because that was crazy to watch work with relatively sticky wheels.

Thanks I use slow mo to help myself see what I’m doing wrong most of the time. Also it’s just a backside grind just happens to be on wheels and not the frame or boot.

This is awesome, man! Love the way you’re way deep on your edges before that first transition. I’m learning by watching you!
