Manā¦not sure when or why along the way I stopped doing Cab blunts to backside revert, but this is one I wish I never stopped doing. Crazy thing is, I never slammed on it or had any hard falls or can think of a reason that I stopped doing them. I just went through phases in my skating where I wanted to always try learning something new, not new to the world, but just maybe something new to me that I had never done before. Progression to me, was always a motivating factor. The two guys that I skated with on a daily basis at
@spottampa @bhow72 and
@paulzitzer were so f#cking good! They were learning new shit every day, every session and they just pulled me along for the ride!! šØAt one point in my
@birdhouse days ( 1993 in this clip) , I used to have Cab blunts to rev on lock. To the point that one session at Woodward on the blue metal ramp in this clip ( titanic), Tom Boyle,
@mikecrum4dwn and
@nealhendrix bet me 10 bucks each that I couldnāt do it padless in less than 3 tries. It took me two tries, but I was confident enough knowing that like a cat falling, I would probably be able to find my feetā¦ and I did! The first one was a bail, but I got out of it and stayed on my feet kind of running out backwards. I used to do it at the end of contest runs as consistent as I could do a cab pivots. Not sure at 54 years old If that lemon is still worth the squeeze. With all the injuries over the last 44 years of skateboardingā¦ broken ankles, broken arm, Shoulder surgeries
( 2 left and 1 right ) and 13 knee scopes
(9 right, 4 left) for torn cartiledge and a fractured back , I gotta pick my battles wisely nowadays! Ole gray mare just aināt what she used to be!! š“ The good thing about skating for 40+ years is, I can do something that I havenāt tried or have forgotten about for the last 10-15 years, and it feels like a brand new trick again!! š¤£I did it recently with lay back airs again, backside Boneless to fakies, Howie slides and a bunch of other old tricks that I just stopped doing or forgot about. Soooā¦ maybe thereās still hope for the cab blunt rev! š
