I landed my first real krook today. Some context- I quit skating in 1994 to ride BMX. That grind (at least with the ollie into it) had not come into vogue just yet, so when I started skating again about a year ago, I had no experience with it. I decided that it was something that I wanted to learn and began my journey. As it turned out, getting into it and grinding was easy, I just couldn't come off of the knee high ledge that I was trying it on. This battle raged from this past September until today. I just decided to go faster and ollie higher. I wanted to get it done before my 44th birthday next month, and I landed it bolts. It was wild...there was no struggle to catch my balance back, no toe or heel drag, nothing squirrelly at all. It was just clean.
Very stoked.
