I’m just getting into it, started less than a week ago. I love it!!! Right now I’m using my new Apex board. Just added a stomp pad and new wax as well. So anyone else? Right now I am doing mostly beginner stuff (fs and bs shuv, body aerials, $ex changes) and I’m trying(and failing) to do an Ollie and big spin. ---

I started skimming a lot about 6 years ago. I built a little set-up in my backyard with a tarp. It worked well but I don’t have a yard anymore… ---
