Enjoying your journey and watching intently - I’ve got similar goals of a proper backside air. I’ve done early grabs but am hoping for more. Finally found a local vert ramp just yesterday (we have no public ones around here), so hoping to take a similar journey starting soon. Thanks for documenting yours and good luck! 👊🏻
That's awesome you came a cross a vert ramp! I much prefer skating the ramps to bowls like this one as it's much easier to manage and maintain consistent speed for me. It's a lot of fun though, feels like starting again as a complete beginner, but I'm addicted to it haha. Took a decent slam a couple days ago and banged up my knee but hopefully I'm not out for too long. Keep me updated on your vert progress! We got this!
@@GrawrD The unusual thing is that NJ really doesn’t have any vert at all - even our bowls cap out at 7’ due to construction codes so it usually requires a substantial road trip to seek out vert. Fingers crossed. And sorry to hear about the slam, I guess it’s the price of admission for a sweet backside air
@@robbeaton That's so funny! I feel like in California every bowl is minimum 10 ft these days. Makes it a little intimidating to skate. Looking forward to some vert updates... Knee is feeling a little better a few days removed. I was overdue for a decent slam so I was on borrowed time anyway. Dying to get back out there!

@@GrawrD Glad to hear the knee recovery is going alright. I guess with great risk comes great reward, so keep it up!
yew!
