Can’t get enough of that wonderful Duff… so I took the board to the skatepark 5 min drive away. Had to refuel the van (and no bicycles at the new house yet) so that’s the excuse to drive there.
Two observations:
It was great to actually ride a tiny bit dead slow but I stopped after 20 mins since I just wanted to get a feel for the setup.
I’ll go again with a board with the smaller harder wheels that might feel faster but also slide a little when shoved.
The park was pretty much empty but it’s small and trick oriented rather than flow, so unless you can ride a few ramps and pipes you struggle to get a nice run that you can build speed and momentum.
All the same. On the doorstep. Zero complaints.
