Feeling lazy after a tough week of work I went behind the school (they have construction going on the side) armed with a list of 10 tricks and a setup change (8.25 / 5.6 / 50mm).  After the briefest of warmups I went in.
kickflip – took a few tries but got a couple
fakie flip – couple tries
halfcab flip – few tries felt good
heelflip – barely got the 10th try
fakie heelflip – Actually got one pretty quickly and it felt cool
halfcab heelflip – was close, but could not get it
360 flip – got a really bad 270 flip one in a few tries, but could not get a better one
nollie bigflip – a couple flipped right, but I didn’t get my feet on any
switch flip – not really close
switch front heel – still feels doable, but not close
Then I ollied onto the rock back there a few times and did a couple stalls.  I was glad I didn’t let the laziness prevent me from skating.
