skate journal: wallie/nollies, switch flippers and ledge sucking (jan 17, 2016 day 17)
Feeling pretty tired after celebrating Fuzz’s 40th birthday I went out for a lazy session. I wanted to do a better nollie wallride for the game. I was hoping Valmont would be dry enough to try a better tailslide too, but it wasn’t. So I ended up nearby trying the wallie nollies on a regular wall. I didn’t have it on lock, but man it’s fun when you land it. I also tried a bunch of switch f/s flips and got pretty darn close. Man that would be cool.
I eventually moved on to research ledge to get a little grind on. Noseslides and crooks went ok. But then I got stuck on back 50 and exhaustion had settled in. I would eventually get a couple really bad back 50s. A really back halfcab noseslide. Posed halfcab crooks. Posed a bunch of switch flip and switch frontside flip attempts going back up the hill. Got close. All in all I skated better then I thought I would, but it was still a pretty lazy session.
