skate journal: garage manuals with ollie then some flatground (feb 2, 2017)
On a cold, icy, snowy night I went into the garage. I did some manuals for a bit then started trying flippers. To my surprise Ollie came out and wanted to hit the ‘manual pad’ with me. He did some of the regular manuals he always does, then the random 20 tricks in one move in the clip above. I tried nose manual bigspin out even after he left for awhile. I got close, real close, but the slams made me want to move on to flippers. But I didn’t land much for slippers. Couldn’t get a treflip to save my life. That is the worst. I tried some of my 2017 flip tricks, but never got close. I went in depressed and missing Rampy.
