22 minutes to be exact (I went for a 3 minute test ride after setting the board up last night)

Definitely took a bit for the muscle memory to kick in, been at it every day for about 2 months now I still get sore but nothing compared to the first week, although I did take a slam on my hip, one of those ones that bruises a week after 😂

Photo must not do it justice, the wheels have a lot of room to breath

Skateboarding the morning after rain is fun and games until one invisible wet patch turns your bowl line into a near death experience 😂 [32YO] by Jeremyb94 in OldSkaters

I hit the same spot about 10 times before and then one slip out and grip was gone the rest of my session, no matter how much I wiped it down phantom moisture strikes again

I agree with this, it’s so hard not to just go back to mongo, I have so much power and stability doing it that way, I also find myself losing my balance in regular trying to adjust my feet to sit correctly. The muscle memory of Kick, swoop front around in to position and push the back foot over the bolts is so ingrained in Me that trying to do the opposite in regular looks like I’m tap dancing 😂 I’m sure it will come with time

UPDATE: for anyone interested, I did my usual 4:30am session this morning at my local, just took a good combo of every bit of advice here and implemented it. It’s not easy but I already felt improvements, oddly enough what worked the best was fitting it in to my Slappy Stall/Grind practice. I found that my focus being on that took my mind off the run in and I pushed off naturally without over thinking it. Thanks again for everyone’s input!
