So I taught myself how to do a Mute Boneless + Frontside Finger Shuvit! Also I learned how to Ollie Mute, and got over whatever’s been hindering my Ollie Indy as of late!

I threw together an edit!

Goooooals.

Got a few tricks down the other day.

[daytimekaine]

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

The reason I’m so overly excited is because 1: I’ve wanted to hit this spot for a really long time, and 2: I still have a screwed up ankle so this is honestly the biggest thing I’ve done in like a month.. Kinda pathetic but ehhhhh

[daytimekaine]

So my first successful rail grind ever ended up as a combo! Suuuper frigging stoked.

[daytimekaine]

Hit a pretty big hill, been meaning to freebord this for awhile now

[daytimekaine]

I made a legitimate skate part!

Noseplant + Indy.

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.

Gapping a feel.

[daytimekaine]

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.

I needed a night like this.

So.. I'm going to Seattle Tomorrow

I’m gonna go see one of my best friends for the first time in awhile! I’ve never done anything like this, and boooooy am I excited to skate there.. it’s kinda like mecca for me.

[daytimekaine]

Me today, hitting a spot I’ve been working up to for awhile!

I finished out the 2016 season with a backyard kicker on top of the world! 10.5 thousand feet in Leadville, CO
