grind & gravel

Rainy season, garage sessions

Every autumn the same thing happens: two weeks of rain and the local park turns into a puddle with ramps. This year a friend offered his garage, and it turned out to be the best thing for my flat ground.

With no space to roll fast, you are forced to work on balance and pop. Three evenings a week, forty minutes each. Fakie shuvits went from one out of ten to roughly six out of ten.

Small tip: put a strip of old carpet by the door so wet shoes don't ruin your griptape.
