Mike Carroll #23.

Hesh & Fresh.

Mike covered both bases with a two song part in Fully Flared that featured Judas Priest and Three 6 Mafia for the tunes. There are plenty of lines out in the streets. Mike also jumps down a few bigger obstacles with backside 180s. All his usual moves are there, including bigspins, feeble grinds, and backside tailslides. He does some variations on tricks out of backside Smith grinds, too. Mike's frontside feeble at Hubba Hideout is in the section as well. This really is a standout Carroll part that probably gets lost in the long playing time of Fully Flared.

Those low top Carroll 4s look really good.

I finally set up a new board for the weekend. The old one was beyond done after four months. It was nice to have a new ride and some warm weather for the weekend.

The photograph is by Mike O'Meally. I like how they paid tribute to Eric Dressen instead of calling the trick a frontside salad grind.
