skate journal: flatground weirdness (Feb 13, 2011)
What a weird day. It started off hungover at Scotty Goodale’s memorial service. What an incredibly sad event that left me in a funk for the rest of the day. I didn’t know him very well, but I still felt inspired by his positivity and at the same time destroyed by the situation his family is left with. Argh. Life is trife.Late in the incredibly warm afternoon I skated flatground in front of the house. I skated ok and after some warming up I started trying two lines going back and forth. One way was halfcab flip, nollie treflip, b/s flip. Never got the nollie treflip. Other was was frontside halfcab, heelflip, treflip. Never got the treflip. When I would mess up the line I would try some other trick which was normally switch flip. A few were close. I think it’s time to curb the beer again.
