Sadly, I can confirm that the 540 shuvit from the spacewalk was very much *not* first try.
TonyVideo evidence that I do, on occasion, still skateboard.
This 540 kickflip was very much a last minute decision. I had no idea if itβd work - the shock on my face as I rolled away was real. I genuinely thought Iβd just done a 540 shuvit at first; these shouldnβt feel that easy.

I did the original graphic design for a skateboard and, thanks to P1NKY, I decided to ANSIfy it with slight modifications

Work has kept me away from doing much with personal photography (and, by extension, Mastodon) for a while now, but I do occasionally get to tap into my personal #BelieveInFilm archive to illustrate an article (in this case the WFSA's mid-season ranking update for #FreestyleSkateboarding: https://wfsafreestyle.org/events/wfsa-ranking/wfsa-ranking-2025-mid-season-update/)
I love this photo and really need to get back into the darkroom to figure out how to get a decent print of it.
I've talked a bit on here lately about flash bulbs. This is why: I want to leverage the higher sync speeds of bulb flash on my Leicas (both IIIf and IIIg) to do some interesting skateboard photography.
This shot (of myself - I had to hand the camera to a friend!) uses one off-camera PF6B "flat peak" bulb at a higher shutter speed than I could manage with an electronic flash.

I don't post about #skateboarding often on here - I like keeping different parts of my life separate - but with @loops coming together, I figure it's time for me to put some skating on the #Fediverse.
If you're already on Loops, you can find me on there (@coldkennels, same as everywhere).
I never joined TikTok on principle, and I hate Instagram with a passion. Here's hoping Loops can be a new home for the #FreestyleSkateboarding community.
Here's a little clip of this nonsense as a taster.
I donβt usually post #skateboarding stuff on here but after almost a full year of dealing with various injuries, this feels bloody good.
(Now excuse me while I go douse myself in tiger balm and pummel myself with a muscle roller)
