The wind was nowhere near as bad as they had been saying so I went in search of a dry patch to skate. I really just couldn’t handle another day in the garage. I didn’t have to go far, Wilville had a section about 100 feet long that would work. After some initial warmups I went for my first line. Front 180 a tiny snow pile, fakie flip on flat, halfab flip. It took a bit to get a fakie flip, but once I did the halfcab flip was first try. It put me in a good mood and maybe I should have just called it a day right there. Next line was wallie nollie, heelflip, bs flip. The heelflip took me FOREVER. And they both were terrible. By the time I landed the 2nd one I was over skating and luckily landed the bs flip crappy enough I could call it a line. Then I hucked a couple lines for awhile. Ollie a puddle, back 180 a tiny snow pile to quick fakie bigflip. Never got that. Next one was nollie tre then fakie tre. Never got either. I couldn’t treflip to save my life. It was very frustrating. I tried to ollie this tiny snow pile for awhile too and it was just super frustrating and I left angrily somehow managing not to focus my board. I was hating my setup.
