+I've been skating indoors at [LS-ten skatepark](https://ls-ten.org/) recently, as the poor weather over the last few weeks has made outdoor skating... not fun. I've mostly abandoned my shorter board in favour of the [Lush Throttle](https://lushlongboards.com/buy/throttle/). At 34" length it's not too much longer than a typical 'popsicle' board, but I find it much more comfortable. I don't mind the lack of double kicktail, and I prefer the longer wheelbase.
+
+I've been working on the basics of skating ramps and bowls - drop-ins, roll-ins, kick turns, rock-to-fakie, and tail stall; and I'm still quite rough as you can see in the following video. I hope to continue skating regularly and improving.

+(on a technical note, I've signed up for a peertube instance and I'm posting my skate videos there. I have the content backed up locally as well, but I figured I might avoid hosting videos from my home server for now)
