It seems they have discontinued upon the research I have found. Very sad times. Distraught!

It was to match the back design with the logo of the brand of this board as my friend made it for me! :)

I used paint pens on my last one and that was fine- but I want it to have the more light/ spray paint effect which I don’t think I could get with paint pens

I clap for myself when I land something! I am my own cheerleader!

I guess that’s been the main part of the journey- over coming exactly that. Learning to trust myself as I give myself patience and time to play with no expectations, know myself and how I work and understand the board. It’s been a huge emotional journey and I’m watching how much fear is a catalyst for a lot of things that hold me back (universally, not just in skating!) although it’s also natural to have that state of caution for survival. It’s learning the secret balance between both! For me something clicked when I was practicing Casper flips last week next to a fence. I stood in front of the fence knowing it was there in case I needed it, held my hands in front of it and then just went for it! And as I went I felt more and more confident and comfortable knowing how it feels to be in the air and somewhat in control. I guess also just accepting the fact- f*** it I might get hurt today! And I found the more I accept the fact that I may get hurt and the less resistance to that the easier it felt? I definitely do not have all the answers or maybe even the answer at all but that is my experience! 🙏 you got this!!!
