skate journal: flatground in the garage (nov 27, 2015 day 317)
Another cold and snowy day. Went out to the garage for about an hour and a half. I started with some manny tricks, then moved the sheet of wood and skated flatground. It took me about 5 tries to land a kickflip. UGH! It wasn’t all horrible though. I did quite a few more of my ‘basics’. I couldn’t seem to heelflip though and that was annoying. I did a varial flip revert which was kind of rare. Nollie varial flip. B/s flip, f/s flip. Came close to switch flip, nollie treflip, varial heel, nollie f/s flip, switch heel. Didn’t come close to nollie heel, switch f/s flip, heelflip (UGH), cab. Ended as I normally do by trying to just ollie and touch my knees to my chest. I didn’t, but the bigger setup is definitely better for ollies.
