On another hot and sunny day I went to dog park after work. I did some dynamic stretching then started in on the basics trying for little 3 trick lines that got progressively harder. I knew I was feeling pretty good when I got the kickflip, no comply 180, fakie flip first try. And especially when I got halfcab flip first try (and most tries) as I put it down with backside flip. I went for heelflip then treflip and got a first try heelflip and darn near got the treflip too. But then heelflips became very hard and I don’t know why. I would get quite a few, but they were these weird primo catch and would somehow roll over. I started adding kickflip to the start so it could be an ironman line and ended up getting it. The kickflip was good, the heelflip was sketch, but man, the treflip felt incredible. When I would bail tricks in lines I would normally try a switch or nollie flip on the way back. I got insanely close to nollie flip, switch flips weren’t too far off either. I got another two tricker. Frontside halfcab flip then frontside flip. But the f/s flip was more of an over 80 defense kind of thing. Took awhile to get fakie flip then fakie varial flip. Tried a line of fakie treflip then halfcab heel, but gave up after awhile. I needed to get Dave a trick so I tried fakie bigflip for awhile and I couldn’t do it. In ~15 minutes all I got was this terrible one above. So then I went across the street to the manny pad and tried nose manny shove until I got it. Took about 10 minutes. Landing it was fun. It was another day without orthotic insoles and I felt great. I hope my body can keep this up because I felt great.
