 It is another beautiful sunny day in Southern California. I've just woken up, as you can tell by the tone of my voice. I'm about to drive into Harbour City, meet up with Dan, get some skating done. There's a few things I want to get at Harbour City today. I want to kickflip the ball and I want to back side flip the ball, hopefully. Maybe even a frontside flip, I don't know. But I am down for the challenge, down for the challenge. But yeah, going skating today with Dan and yeah, it's sunny and I'm happy and I'm grateful. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm driving in the drugstore Cadillac. I just stopped. I'm new to Harbour City but I stopped because I didn't get breakfast this morning. I stopped at this place called Tofu House and like I looked at the menu and like it was all meat and stuff like they had a menu like a bit this big for like Tofu and it looked really bad so I'm going to go get an SAE ball. Found an SAE ball place that was close by so fingers crossed this SAE is good. I usually get an SAE ball for breakfast anyway but there was no way I was going to have like some shitty Tofu greasy dip in soy sauce breakfast this morning especially not from that Tofu House. Took me about five minutes to drive from the SAE ball place to the park here and I smashed this whole thing. This is a medium. This is a medium. I'm sure it's in large it was like twice to this but this was pretty good it wasn't it wasn't that bad. So Danny is running late Hayley's here though so she's going to help me film a line I've been playing around with right here. Hopefully I can do it the first few goes. So it's tiring. We put these laces in last night these shitty target Kiwi laces. What was I thinking? I didn't glow up or anything I just put them in so this is what I get. Danny has just arrived. Boy we're both button up boys today. Button up boys. Here. Dude you're looking fresh. I feel fresh man. Let's fit check. Got the Ed Gaines cap. Everyone loves the Ed Gaines cap. Yeah it's good. I like it. Like I want to take a bunch of lips and turn them into a lamp shape but that's what he did. Yeah this is a crossing here in LA literally just a zebra crossing and you kind of got to walk out in front of traffic to them to stop I think. There's no button or anything. To the shop because I want a drink I feel like I want like a fizzy drink like Dr. Pembroke or Sierra Mist and some water. To this other park it's like a bit busted up. I did a video there of Danny a while back but my ankle was still bad so I couldn't really skate it so we're on our way there right now. I want to just say because I skated near most every day off I had last week and my body was really sore especially my legs but I feel like today it's my first day back on the board after working and not skating for a minute. Not a minute but like not skating for three days and then skating again. Everything's so much easier to pop like I don't have to work so hard to like pop up onto things so yeah skate more everybody. LA is a big city of billboards. Some of them are like this and some of them are really corny like this one here. Dan's figured how to slip into this little spot right here. Look at that. Compact. Underfit. Here we are at Normandy skate park and it is dead. We have the majority of the place to ourselves. Beat it up. So since we skated so much last week my legs are a bit more... Let's go what I was saying. My legs are more conditioned to skating now so I'm going to get my second win today. I'm going to do a couple of tricks on this little what do you call this a hover? Down ledge. Slanted ledge because it's not steep enough to be a hover. I'm going to do a couple of tricks and then I'm going to try a trick. So I'm going to try for front nose front smith and then try for a backside 180 nose grind. Yeah back 180 nose grind. Oh yeah slide the whole thing. If you land it good you should try something down the rail afterwards. You got it. Okay. Our front side is a slit. Jesus. Front head slit. Did you see that? Yeah I saw it. I have documented footage right here. What? It stayed directly like that. I even got out. That's okay. Yeah that's great. Front lip. Now you can do smith grind. He approved. Get a backside of 5L on something. Where's the back 180 nose grind? On that. Yeah. Oh on. What did you think you're going to do it on? Got a trick. No we didn't. You did. I remember it. I reminded you. I'm supposed to be trying a backside 180 nose grind on this. Yeah you don't have to do it. You should just give it a go though. Oh yeah you got that. Yeah just over rotate a little more. Remember aim for crooked grind. Yeah. That's close. It's probably a little higher. Can't be penalized for that. If you wally the corner of this like with your trucks over already in 50-50 you're going to go to 50-50 on this. Yeah. That'd be cool. Give it a crack. I bet you could do it to back 5L. What do you mean? Like wally back 5L. How did you do that? Same thing that you just did but without the front truck. Because you landed like back truck first and set your front truck down. Yeah. I'm going to do another one 50-50 and then I'll play with it. All these years. Wash this. You don't need to pop shove it. You just fall out shove it. Stoll a 5L and you scoop a little baby shove it. Like it's super easy. Yeah you definitely got that. You got it. Trick's easy. I'm going to have a go at the state of it but I'll take it though. You can do it again if you want. I want to do some real tricks. First try. Yeah you did that really easy. That was good. I'm confident doing tricks because of last week. Oh because you skated so much. Yeah the energy is still right there. Maybe that's a hack. You have to skate a lot. Yeah that's definitely the hack. The more you skate the more built in your muscle and body and mind will do the tricks. All working as one. I'm going to get a little hockey. Jump on this rail. That's what distracted you? I couldn't even hear it. I could hear it. There was a streamer. Once you're on you're okay. Like once you get on and then like have you wait right? You just come out. Plus this fucking big set of nuts. Bump to stuff suck. I hate them. I hate hauling out of ramps to ledges. It's so awkward. Like you get used to it and then all of a sudden you can do any trick you can possibly imagine because the bank helps a lot and then all of a sudden you skate ledges a flat ground and it's like uncomfortable. I hate it. You wallied back hailed it. That was crazy. It was like a structure to fakie. Like even far up to fakie you went to fakie. Yeah I kind of threw my way backwards. Let's have a look. Toast bag or pick up a hoodie or a t-shirt or something. Cheers for watching the video. I'm going to see if I can get some converse at the converse outlet at orange because I need new shoes. My feet really hurt and there's a dope on a sunset over there. There's California sunset guys. They don't get anything. I can't even talk. The endorphins is flowing from my body right now and I feel so relaxed in that piece. I feel like I found my little place in the universe. So I got some Jack Purcells. They're not even a skate kind and they were 65 US. What a joke. Why don't they make bro Jack Purcells anymore converse? I don't understand why you would stop making such a good shoe.
