STEEMSKATE Week 2 : My entry for the flat bar challenge
This is the second instalment of the Steemskate contest and my second entry. When I saw that it was flat bars I kind of winced a little as it's not my strongest game and I wasn't sure where I would find one. I mean I know I could have found one at a skate park but it would be cooler to find one in the street. However like most places in the northern hemisphere in the middle of winter so just venturing out to buy beer is a mission.
Luckily me and my crew regularly go to this indoor heated skate park every Sunday so I took this as my chance. I ended up doing a few lines involving a flat bar because as I already stated my flat bar game is weak. I managed to get three lines downs namely:
- boardslide the flatbar then a half cab noseslide
- boardslide the flatbar then a half cab manual
- nollie lipslide the flatbar then a half cab noseslide (just out of shot a kickflip)
For the contest I will enter the final line. The angle sux as I had to my phone on a ledge and as you can see there was alot of traffic but the trick is there. I also said "Steemit Skate Week 2" in the beginning instead of "Steemskate Week 2".
Music is by myself and it is a unreleased track called "hate you baby / hate the babies". I will release it and post it soon.
These contests rule and I want to thank @web-gnar for doing them.
p.s: I am gonna shout out @nicolcron to come to my neck of the woods and get something on that pole jam , its bugs me everyday when I look at it.

thank you for your entry!
awesome dude!And the park looks hella fun too!!Skateforlife
Good job on that. I can't help but cringe though, when I see people doing tricks like that. I think it's occupational hazard. You don't want to know how many skaters I've seen limping into an ER, if they're even capable of limping. :-D
Glad to set you start upright though, and doing what makes you happy.
Yea sorry to make you cringe but this really is a core component to my happiness and of course it is dangerous and fraught with injury . Thanks as always for your comment !
No worries. I cringe at a lot of things because I often only see the cases that went wrong.
I even manage to ignore my own inner cringes when it means I get to ride a horse or a mountainbike. 😆
By all means do your happy thing. u
Good post @stickchumpion

That so cool to combine your own music with this challenge. Hopefully steem will buy ya a really cool camera to better capture these challenges. You mention this one isn’t one of your strengths. I’d love to see a day in a skaters life where all you do is your favorite trips and show us where you like to ride.
oh great idea , I think I can do this in the summer will go around London there are a lot of good spots and stories. The camera thing was more the angle I had to shoot and doing solo cam style. My phone is pretty sweet but better if you got someone filming unfortunatly it can be a bummer trying to get someone to film when all you want to do is skate.
True, maybe you can find a none skating friend to go with you to capture some shots. also, i think you owe someone else a picture from london. Time to pay up and start going out and taking those pictures!
