skate journal: finally an ok night of skating at research ledge (march 9, 2016 day 69)
Went to the Research Center again with a bit more energy. This time I just went to the ledge. I started with noseslide, noseslide fakie, boardslide flop out. Crooks took awhile. Back 50s still suck, but I got a couple horrible ones. When I was going up the hill I mostly tried switch heels and I got pretty darn close often. Dream trick! Hopefully some day. I had some success with other flip tricks in the street below the ledge. No heelflips, but one horrible 360 flip. It’s been awhile since I’ve landed that one. The most frustrating part of the night was not being able to do a front 50. They felt like they would be easy, but they weren’t. Got a bad halfcab noseslide, tried to do one to fakie. Got a really bad crooks to fakie, some more crooks, not close to halfcab crooks or kick back 50. I left in a decent mood.
