On a nice morning I worked on some Stubborns stuff then went to skate flat in front of the house. I told myself 10 flip tricks before I could leave. I got 10. Most weren’t pretty, but I did it. I think they were kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, heelflip, both halfcab heelflips, 360 flip, b/s flip, fakie varial flip and varial flip.

Then I went to Douglass for a dream trick. Noseslide 270 shove. I was bummed to see that there was ice in the shade which made it a bit of a gap in. Argh. I tried though. And all things considered I got pretty close, but never rode away. Sean arrived and I eventually gave up. I had a weird new sharp pain in my knee. I filmed him get a banger line.

Then we went to research center so I could do crooks shove. I was sore and my first couple attempts at noseslides were terrible. Although Sean did laugh at my first trick being a switch front noseslide. I did get a crooks first try though so I thought that would be a good omen. Sean was running through tricks. Front 50, 50 180, 5-0, 5-0 180, 5-0 shove, tailslide, tailslide fakie then started hucking tailslide heelflip out. My phone died though and he was kind enough to film me try crooks shove. I don’t know how I didn’t land it. I really tried and I committed and it just didn’t work out. Doh.
