As with most Sole Tech shoes the Square One is super comfy. Style wise this shoe is a hit obviously considering it’s basically a vulcanized version of the ever popular Accel. It’s thin, but responsive and protects the top of your foot. I’m pretty picky with the tongue on shoes and this shoe easily has the best tongue of any shoe I’ve ever skated. Rating: STYLE Rating: COMFORT Rating: BOARD FEEL Rating: DURABILITY Rating: OVERALLI’m not sure exactly how many pairs of this shoe I’ve had, but it’s a good one, and I enjoy skating them. ![]() Boring ass entry I’m sorry, but like the About page says, don’t read them if you don’t want to.Ĭomments Off on skate journal: Southern Hills with the kids, then Table Mesa area with Matt on an 8″board Hopefully I start to get a better feel for it. We split out after another game of SKATE that Matt won, but I put down some tricks I wouldn’t have thought for the first day out on a bigger board.Didn’t really like how the board felt so big, but I did like how it ollied and kickflipped. Tried slappy to nose manny, but that would actually be good. We ended up at a slappy curb for awhile that ended up being way funner that one would think. We cruised around for awhile and I watched Matt ollie everything. I lost, but landed more than I would have thought. Kickflips felt the best they’ve felt in a long time. Luckily I was surprised to find out that it flips decent. I figured I’d get pink slipped since I was tired and flip tricks on a monster board didn’t seem that appetizing. I was feeling super tired and didn’t have the energy or the coordination for the wallride banks so we played a game of SKATE. We had fun.Around 10pm Matt picked me up and we went to the shopping center near my house with no real spots in mind, just cruise around and hit whatever. India did some bunny hops on her scooter. I’ve been on the Thunder program for years. On top of the board feeling like a monster I had to get used to Indys. When I first stood on the board I felt like I was riding a tank. Anyways, I found some old 8″ Indy’s that have been laying around since the Blame The Filmer days and setup an 8″ with some new 51mm wheels. Hey, I’ll be the first to admin I’ve got OCD with my setup. As I stated in my last journal entry I was totally over the small board and wanted to try the opposite side of the spectrum. Was supposed to bring the kids skating with Zach and his son, but that didn’t work out.
