After a fun night of replacing our garbage disposal I went out to the garage to put some tools away. I did a couple manuals on flat then saw this sheet of wood sitting there and decided to get buck on it. I told Ollie to come check out the huge new manual pad and he was super into it. So we skated it for like 20 minutes and it was a blast. I only did a couple ollies into manual, normally I would just lift up to nose manual or whatever. I ended up getting a slew of tricks. Sure they don’t really count, but yes they do. Nose manual front 180, nose manual back 180, manual front 180, manual back 180, front 180 nose manual, front 180 nose manual 180 out, front 180 nose manual rewind (so fun), back 180 nose manual, back 180 nose manual 180, switch front 180 manual, switch front 180 manual back 180. It was really fun. I was riding my garage board. Ollie had never done a nose manual before. It took him a bit to get the hang of it, but he did. And then he landed a bunch more like nose manual front 180, front 180 nose manual 180 out, front 180 nose manual rewind, manual front 180. Most importantly though he thought it was really fun.

Went to Safeway ledge right after work while India was in ballet class nearby. I was gonna try and film a ledge trick for out instagram game of skate. It wasn’t looking good at all for awhile as 50-50s weren’t even really working either way. After quite some time I settled in on the two tricks above that I never landed. Well, I guess I kind of landed one kick back 50 grind shove out, but I wasn’t locked in to 50-50 and I was going to slow to set with it. The front crooks felt amazing though. I had a couple good slams in there, but quite a few that grinded and I had a chance of getting out of. A lot of them went up into nosegrind and I would fall into 50. I didn’t do too many flip tricks. It was mostly just try these two tricks over and over. Then it was almost time to pick up India so I went to settle for nollie 360 flip. I landed one, but I had to slam a few times first. Ouch.
