Kaine's SFW Blog!

I threw together an edit!

Hit a ledge in OKC I've been eyeing for awhile. One day I want to hit the section all the way back that's like, 4 or 5 feet tall x~x

I made a legitimate skate part!

This is what happens when you push yourself to succeed at something.

I’m incredibly proud of myself. For the past few months, I’ve been dedicated to actually progressing at the sport that is my happy place. I’ve now got more tricks under my belt after a single day of learning than I ever achieved in all my 19 years on-board. I’m elated right now.

Starting a new tag for my skate/snow stuff: Kaine Shreds.

A night of pure progression. This is what it looks like when you commit to getting 50-50 ledge grinds on repeat.

Also consistently landing pop-shuvs! And big gaps and actually pretty daunting drops! Basically using the town as my playground.

I’m about to get all mushy and sentimental so if you find it too cheesy, sorry not sorry.

Making a goal of hitting every spot that looks enticing and committing entirely on the first go, every time, is an incredible feeling. Feeling like you’re walking away accomplished is the best part about skating.

Long story short, I’m extremely proud of myself.

I may be overly sentimental, but hearing a neighborhood kid yell “wow!” When I landed a clean grind really inspired me to keep going, to commit to getting better, to being the guy little groms look up to someday.

If you know me personally, you know just how self-conscious and shy I am about my riding. I’m 21, I’ve been skating since I was 2, and all I could really do was ollie and bomb hills. But here I am, in a single night progressing further than I ever have in years, pushing myself as hard as I can and going bigger and better, and there are no simple words for how happy I am.
