I find no comply's and no comply 180's to be way different. No comply's are all about the right pop but no comply 180's rely more on the scoop of your foot, the rotation of your hips, and a tiny bit of pop.

13 Kickflips today haha. Having so much fun with them! Even got a few popped really nicely. Another cool thing happened when I randomly tried heelflips. Stuck three of them in a manual position. Wonder if I should practice those and try to get them also since I'm close or focus exclusively with kickflips?

Had a super fun session today at the park learned a bunch of super shitty/silly tricks.

Triple backside flip, double kickflip bigspin flip, nollie fs 360 kickflip, and switch front foot impossible all over the skatepark hip.

Also learned kf fs 5-0s, no comply sugar canes, and fs nosegrinds on tranny.



Also, I'm about to order a painting for $100, it feels weird. haha

I seem to always learn that one trick I've been practicing forever towards the end of a board's life.

Then I get another one and have to do it all over again...

So I went to the barbershop near my work. Turns out the barber that cuts my hair opened up his own shop. This shop was on 10th St.......his shop was on 23rd street. (O_O).

Luckily it was a nice day outside and I had my board with me. Turned out to have a nice cruising session.

Yesterday I decided to try to learn bigspins and after a couple tries I now always land but I either only spin the board around 320 and jump off or I just jump off landing full. So I need to fix that problem because I almost have them landing every try.

And I told my friend to try bigflips last week and he's been trying them. Yesterday I wanted to try a few and I landed after five tries. The foot position I have for bigspin/flip attempts is strange; I have my back foot hanging off like a treflip and my front foot angled over the top right bolts. It works for me so it's fine.

Doc, Made in China, and Popwar isn't war, all received their copies of 'Hand Drags and high 5's'. So I'm stoked to hear they're stoked!
And the premiere is happening tomorrow night. Now the next 24hours I can spend stressing and hoping everything goes as planned.
Actually now that I think about it, I just hope the projector/speakers work properly hah.



Also

Just added the new stickers to the ‘online store’. I hate charging for stickers, but it’s the only way I can break even and continue to make more. So if you live out of state and want some Pugsly stickers, place an order and help keep this thing going! All orders come with additional free stickers as well. Thanks in advance! First 5 orders will receive a free Pugsly Zombie button.

@igrindtwinkies.

Awesome, glad it arrived safely!
Stoked you liked my part, I'm still a bit nervous to hear what people have to say about it, since it took so fucking long to film. haha.

Gavin (last part) was such a hard part to film too.
1. he broke his ankle and was out for 4 months.
2. he just hurt his mcl and has been out for 2 months
3. personal issues/working a job tons

He def had alot to deal with while filming and didn't get to film as much as all of us.
So luckily he was able to get a bunch of tranny stuff quickly.
It's funny to see his hair length go from super long to super short.


And orlando is nuts, his hobbies include rolling off houses, dropping in on walls, powerslides, and doing shit nobody else would think of.

so 2 dollars would be a very reasonable price to get it at?

edit: I think I might just get strangeworld instead for 8

For 2 dollars, then yes.
But if they're that cheap, just buy both?

Same here (except it was this September). Such an easy trick. Same with fakie 540 bigflips. I have consistent flip and everything now, just have to work my back foot on.

@dtj
Are you still taking orders for Hand Drags and High 5s? I still need to buy it.
