skate journal: switch/nollie fail round 2 (oct 2, 2014)
After helping the kids with homework and all that I went to skate some flat again at Valmont. For the most part I skated switch or pushed mongo to nollie tricks. did push regular a few times to test out achilles and do a couple kickflips. It felt decent, but I wanted to give it another day or two. Since I was so close with nollie fs flips the last time I started with them. I don’t think I ever got as close as the previous night. Doh. I tried switch b/s flips too. That trick seems remotely possible. Came super close to a switch flip or two then started trying a couple random ones. Big front heel and fakie hardflip. Big front heel wasn’t close, fakie hard seemed very possible. I have landed that trick once back in 2008 so it’ll still count as new in my book. I didn’t skate for nearly as long as I was pretty tired.
