On a cold and snowy day I bundled up (long johns and all) and went to this lovely garage. I cruised around pretty cold for awhile before feeling pretty good. Pretty quick I put one of those vent pipes out to ollie over. Had a line that I think was kickflip over a parking block, back 180 one pipe then fakie back tail the tiny curb. Tried my dream run for awhile of slappy crook, no comply 180, then fakie flip front tail. Never got too close to the ffft. Put two pipes out and was pretty hyped to ollie both. Then went with three. Self filmed it for Neil and felt really hyped to land it. It wasn’t easy for me and those pipes seem taller then they look in the photo. After that I went on a flatground rampage for an hour or so. Landed most of my basics. Didn’t struggle all too bad with treflips. Tried a ton of fakie double flips, but never got one. Came close to b/s halfcab heel which I haven’t landed in forever. Close to varial heel. Been feeling heelflip tricks lately.

The breeze died down a bit so I went across the parking lot to this garage. Cruised it for awhile before trying a line over and over of ollie the little median, front 50 the red curb, then ollie up to kickflip fakie on the somewhat banked thing on the left side of the photo. That took awhile. I also tried a ton of fakie double flips and came really close, but nope. Just a few more days to land a 12th new flip trick of the year. Landed a really bad fakie tre, but it’s been awhile.

Then I went to check out Red Curbs, but drove by this one on the way and hit it up. Took awhile to get my first manual, but nose manual came quick. Then tried nose manny shove and manny front shove. Didn’t get close. On the way back I would try a slow trick off the curb. Got pop shove, fakie bigspin, front shove, kickflip, varial flip, b/s flip and stalled out on 360 flip and went home very exhausted. Skating in 20 degree weather is hard to stay energized. But I was really hyped on how hard I skated and for how long in the cold.
