overcame some fears today
« on: July 07, 2008, 07:18 PM »
went to the local chavpark sorry skatepark today and made it my mission to do the following
1/ ride up the quaterpipe without putting my foot down
2/ try to jump up the box via the mini ramp side
3/ jump the mini spine......very scary the first time as you seem to need to go too fast to clear it
i think i did really well considering im 40 and we never had spine ramps back in the early 80s :LolLolLolLol:
so thats three more boxes ticked today

well done matey, spines are worth the effort - drop yer seat about a foot and a half for spines though - saves he precious bits and lets you tuck up a bit too
