I haven't been on my skateboard much in the past month, and the truth is, I'm actually really busy over here working business.That's good, but it means that I don't get out as much, and I don't get a chance to film as much.

      Thing is, I got in 2 skate sessions this week already. One on Tuesday with "Toad" and one on Wednesday alone in my garage.

     ...had a chance to film my garage sesh...

      Part II in particular is where the "gold" is -- in my opinion. This sort of learning method will have you landing tricks faster and more consistently.
