skate journal: flatground in the garage on a cold night (march 19, 2018)
Normally I take Monday’s off of skating, but I was motivated to try some flatground. It was quite cold out so I hit the garage. I had put some thinner wheels on in an attempt to get quicker flicks. Maybe it helped, who knows. I like how it looks and feels more so that’s all that matters I guess. I mostly hucked stuff I can’t do after a brief warm up. I committed to nollie and switch flips, but whenever I commit the board only flicks halfway. Near the end I was trying to actually land something so I did fakie varial flip, nollie varial flip and to my surprise got a 360 flip in a few tries.
