I got down to the Pump Track again and this time, although it was sunny, it was a hell of a lot less humid!

I'd been checking out videos on technique and it took me a few goes to get sorted, but, eventually, I managed to achieve a new record distance 👍

Ok, it's not perfect, I'm still too much on the back foot and not getting my head low in the corners (and it was only on this run that I managed to just get over that last big hump!), but I'll take the win 🙂

I know to use C7 Carver trucks. But does the deck matter, eg length, turned up at nose etc. or can you go on what looks pretty when you buy it

I finally got to have another try at the local Pump Track today.

I had hoped to improve my performance as I had been working on my compress and extend when surfing last week.

Unfortunately, even though it was overcast, it was *way* too humid and after about 10 tries and getting less far than I'd gone in the past, I had to quit ☹️

At least I'd just got the air conditioning in the car fixed, so I could cool off on the way home... 🥵
