skate journal: school curbs and flat blah (may 17, 2018)
Put on my bigger deck again and headed over to the school with some new shoes too. Es Accel Slim. Messed around with some back 50s and front 50s. Tried some slow front 50 kickflip out. Ollie was trying the hurricane really quick and I wanted to film it. He got close for awhile then the slam and that was basically it for him. I was trying flippers in between his attempts. Then Ollie left so I went to the street and skated flat for a bit. It didn’t go well. I struggled with halfcab flips which really made me mad. It didn’t help that huge gusts of wind would ruin things for awhile. Then it would be calm and I would try random stuff. I basically didn’t land anything noteworthy and it made me doubt my shoes and larger board.
