Weird world we live in these days. I think it’s funny, I’ve been social distancing myself from people before it was popular lmao! Anyway, this photo was taken in key west a few days after I skated over 100 miles at ultra skate 2020, which had the worst weather of them all. But still, a great experience to say the least... 🌴 🥥 My first ultra skate was in 2013. So I guess this means in 2021 it would have been my 9th ultra skate. That is, if I didn’t shatter my knee on October 9th 2016, which made me miss 2017 ultra skate... you know what they say, everything happens for a reason. Pain is what was needed to push me to the next level and for that I am thankful 🙏🏼
I would also like to let you know that my helmet has saved my life twice. I was in a hit in run about 5 years ago, a car ran into me while I was skating the bike lane. I still had concussion symptoms for 3 days even tho I had my helmet on.

“Do a handstand on your board”
A handstand, are you kidding? Let’s do a fingertipstand 😂 #longboardgoosechase
We're immensly proud of both teams competing in theidsa & ldpcast #longboardgoosechase If you haven't heard - we have 2 teams Bristol Hens and the Bristol Ducks 🎉
8 women longboarders taking part, trying new challenges and making friendships. It's kept us entertained and skating this winter.

Proud to call debslf mine, did 53km for theidsa #longboardgoosechase G|Bomb: Ultra Skater before passing the baton on to a teammate to complete the 100km
Highlight was the smile on people’s faces when we wished them “Merry Christmas!” T’as been a crazy year, and a smile goes a long way.
“Mount your trucks backwards and skate it for 30 seconds” That’s easier said than done. Although I tightened the trucks quite a lot, I couldn’t manage to not get thrown off my board 😃 #longboardgoosechase
I haven’t skated in TOO LONG but I was thrilled that everything didn’t seem totally inaccessible my first day back. Sometimes my cross steps feel like I’m just barely managing so I wanted to do two in a row today to work that muscle memory. It felt pretty good! I still want to get more confidence in bigger carves but I feel like my basics are getting a lot better.
Also swipe to see some goofy #longboardgoosechase submissions I did today lol. One is to do “coffin carves” and one is to slide while buttboarding and I legitimately had no idea where to start so I just rolled around on my butt awkwardly for like fifteen minutes lol. It was such a blast.
The challenge: full 360 estate burnout, the mission, “Tokyo Drift”. This submissions from @mervymerv_ @adventuredevon_ @moon__salt is so so good @boostedboards @boosted_usa #longboardgoosechase
I usually end up doing my ghost rides in these combos at a pretty slow speed so I wanted to start with one this time, as well as work my pivots a little extra. I was getting a full 180 fairly consistently today!
The original combo I was trying to do was ghost ride - nollie pivot - 180 step - nollie pivot but I don’t know if it was my body placement, speed, or what but I could not turn my body back around with a 180 step today. After much frustration I switched it to a body varial for my temporary sanity — I’ll definitely go back to trying a 180 step there though.
Also speed tested my carver for the #longboardgoosechase and got up to 21 mph???????? Like the average was consistently around 7 so I assume 21 mph was a lucky combo of momentum and the little decline I was on but STILL I feel very proud of my lil board not designed for speed lol.
Lastly, this fall — I don’t know what happened either. My body decided it didn’t want to step off the board for the ghost ride but then......also refused to do anything else??? Luckily it was right on the meat of my butt and NOT my hip or tailbone bc I would have probably combusted had I landed on my hip.
Hard wheeling the rock wall at BFG! These Seismic Boosters are so good on the mini!
