holy cow!
: : I joined the skatepark and dropped in the small halfpipe. It was easy peasy. I have on the small soft rainskate wheels too. But I pop over the coping without really even pushing. It kinda scared me. I ended up doing 2 stalls and one grab because I had a lot of time over the coping. But when I see it I kinda start straightening my legs to slow down and lift my legs so I do hit it. I would like to try grinds even but I think I'm going too fast over the coping. I am not sure if my legs are super strong now from the uni/biking or why I'm going so fast.
: :
: : I guess you just slightly lift your skates and ride it like theres a ramp there? I'm not used to going over the coping like that, thats all. I had fun!
: :
: : I asked them. Rollerskates are not really allowed but they allowed me to join but unis are out. And BMXs are aloud. Doesnt make sense.... I thought it would be fun to ride my uni over the boxes too lol.
:
: good stuff, ill bet that felt great.
: just remember to be steady eddie and dont rush it.
: cheers, h .

So is the secret to grabs to just compress and never jump? Thats my only worry. I dont want to flatbottom again. It was fun! Rained again but maybe OK this afternoon.
