Drilling Session #3


okay, i didnt write anything down this time but i have some stuff i remember:

:arrow: More flip illusions
:arrow: Drilled flip pdx mirages
:arrow: Drilled flip pixie a lot, got some good dimwalks, parkwalks, pixie pickups
:arrow: Flip legover has really benefitted from the drilling, very happy
:arrow: Rev whirl>far rev whirl>RPT!
:arrow: Rev whirl>Blurry rev whirl>Far rev whirl (The above one was more effective drilling but it was still nice to know i can step out of flip rev whirl)

do you have a water ski or a long blunt object that can support your weight? My friend chris has made some pretty wacky longboards out of random household materials. The water ski is by far the best, though. We've done some pretty fantastic things on that thing. It's really scary to go too fast on it though since it's so thin and kind of wobbles. But man can it carve.

I'm likin' the drill session reports.

The problem is, the voices echo somewhat, so with so many people on and talking, it would be nuts.

my units came yesterday and i modded them. uber difficult. the uttencils i had werent the greatest but whatever.

overall feeling about the shoes:

meh.

im just not used to them yet.

the sole feels like i have high heels on, it's rediculous. im about a whole 2 inches taller. 6'5"....yea, i really dont need to be that tall.

the toe is a dream though compared to the quantum. thank god.

clipper surface is decent, i would say average.

i'll have a session in them and see how it goes. i think i'll like em a bit more after i session.
