skate journal: dog park blah (aug 17, 2016 day 230)
Posted in Skate Journal on August 18th, 2016 by corpo
Feeling very exhausted after work I went to the dog park for about an hour. Starting out wasn’t too bad actually. But I ended up kind of struggling with most basics. Never got a b/s flip or fakie bigflip. Again, I am going through another big change (vulcs back to cups) so I shouldn’t expect much. Plus I’m on an 8.5 now, have had plantar fasciitis and have not skated much flat lately. With that said I would go through long spells of not landing anything, but out of nowhere I did a line of heelflip, nollie tre, kickflip, very bad treflip. So as bad of a session as it was, the nollie tre I landed felt spectacular. I guess I did get a lot of heelflips too. I also tried a bunch of switch frontside flips that I actually committed to. I never landed on the board, but I did get them around and close to my feet. I would love to get that one.
