skate journal: valmont garage soreness on a winter day (feb 9, 2020)
Feeling sore and not very motivated I went out on a snowy Sunday to the Valmont garage with the good parking block. I ended up skating somewhat hard and for a couple hours. Had some fun warm up lines with basics. That curb slappies well. I would line out stalls on a curb, flipper, slappy, trick on the tiny curb, etc. I was happy to get a rare slappy feeble, front 50 on the parking block (I’m normally too scared to 50 anything that narrow), fakie varial flip, halfcab flips were easy. I failed at ollieing a cone, kickflipped one on it’s side, almost got kick back tail. I ended by doing a GleNBD on the tiny curb – front 180 fakie 5-0 stall shove out. I followed that with a crack-the-board front lip on the parking block that I struggled with way more than necessary.
