skate journal: varial heels and a couple slappies (june 12, 2020)
On a hot afternoon after work I went to Wilville in hopes of shade and ended up at the tall flagstone bench /3 stair area. I messed around for a bit. Didn’t commit to the ollie up the 3 stair, didn’t commit to 3 flip over the manhole. Then I found a mini bump and went in on varial heels. Probably tried for about 45 minutes. I got a couple with my hands down and came to a complete halt. Then one where I came to a halt, but no hands down. So I guess technically it’s a make, but I can’t count that for the challenge. Then I went back and met Dave L and Saul at the school and did a couple slappies then tried boardslides on the upper section for awhile. Saul was getting into feebles and had his great slappies on the regular section. Dave had some good front board pop outs and one really bad slam. Then almost nollie front lip to nose manual. Some cool nollie 180s into the little bank too. TGIF.
