skate journal: first 12 x 12 list on a cool flatground friday before work (sept 28, 2018)
Went to the dog park on the coolest morning of the season so far, in the mid 40s. It felt great. I had more time than normal so I warmed up a bit more than normal. Did some kickflip, fakie flips, halfcab flip, shove its, etc before digging in.
Backside flip – yes
Fakie varial flip – yes
Nollie varial flip – no, normally can get this one
Heelflip – yes, 10th try, worst heelflip i’ve ever done. I seem to have forgot how to do them.
Rick flip – no, couldn’t even commit
360 flip – yes, finally got an ugly one after it’s eluded me all week
Nollie 360 flip – no, the hands down one is funny though
Switch flip – no, it flips when I pose it, but not when I commit. hmm.
Switch fs flip – no, I’ve never landed this, felt close though
Nollie heel – no, never landed this, the one that flipped was pure luck
varial heel – no, felt remotely close, it’s been awhile. maybe since boards were smaller than 8″
ghetto bird – no, never done this one, feels possible.
