Skate Photography: Sequences of old tricks!

Good day Skatehive!!

Here are my photo edits from the session last Friday morning. We skated the new park and I did most of my usual tricks. I am trying to feel tricks again as I have not skated flatbars recently. So I started with boardslides and 5050’s. I skated with Dj for the first time in almost 5 years since he moved to Dubai. We had a great time catching up, and him re-learning the tricks. He went back to zero as he did not skate at all in Dubai, so it is all me in the photos. I did not film lines as I was trying to regain my confidence in skating flatbars. Boardslides was a little struggle as I wanted to boardslide the whole rail. I forgot to bring my GoPro6 so I used my iPhone, It does hot have a good angle but I managed to have a good session and snapped some good photos.

Here is the first sequence of me doing a boardslide fakie out. I have not made this kind of edit in a while so I tried to make good. Since it is only the basic boardslide trick. I challenged myself to boardslide the whole flatbar. It took me a long time to do the trick because I have not skated a flatbar this long. It is around 2-3 meters long and since it does not have a middle feet to support itself, it is bouncing sometimes because of its length and it is quite distracting. I went on and focused and finally after more tries I did it.

Next photo sequence is the fakie boardslide. I have this trick before so after doing some tricks and gained confidence I tried this one and it worked out really fast. Faster than board sliding the whole flatbar, maybe because I did it on the middle part of the rail only. The trick felt natural so I had fun with it. I remember everyone doing this trick, so I told myself it is pretty easy once I get it up the flatbar and balanced my body on it.

And that is it for now. Dj said we’ll skate here again next weekend so I thought of some tricks I can do again on flatbars. The boardslides will come easy and the 5050’s hopefully will not be a problem. I want to step it up a little and regain some old tricks I have before. I have a whole week to rest and relax my body so next Friday will be a good session.

Thanks for viewing my edits!

Cheers!
