skate journal: fun curbs and some flatground before dark (april 14, 2021)
Posted in Skate Journal on April 16th, 2021 by corpoRight after work I bolted to the curbs and saw Rob and Saul leaving. Luckily Jake and Dave L were still there even if they were trying to wrap things up. They didn’t skate much. I saw Jake do a slappy or two and Dave get frustrated with nollie shoves and do a kickflip up the curb. I did some slappies then tried to show off to Jake that I learned switch front slappies. It took awhile and Dave had left, but I did get one and it felt pretty awesome. I had some okay flippers too and got Jake to try heelflips in the grass. He was close. After Jake left I went to the side of the school with the goal of doing 4 two trick lines. 4 lines for a total of 8 tricks. 48. Like my age. Ha. Might have to make this a theme for the year. I got fakie flip then fakie bigflip pretty quick. Then halfcab flip followed by treflip. It only took 3 tries to get the treflip which really hyped me up. I didn’t end up getting any more lines, but I was close to f/s halfcab heel and front heel. Tried f/s halfcab flip followed by nollie varial flip but couldn’t get the nollie varial flip. Hucked a few other things, but ended up getting tired and sore so I went home for dinner.
