skate journal: flatground blah across the street (july 27, 2021)
Posted in Skate Journal on July 28th, 2021 by corpoAfter a tough day of work I chilled for awhile and let it cool down a little. Then I went across the street on my old 8.25 setup to skate flat. Parts of it were okay, but a lot was a struggle. I had kickflips and fakie flips better than I have in a while, got a first try heelflip, a couple halfcab flip, first try b/s flip. I was definitely loving the smaller setup. Although I landed the first heelflip I struggled with them after and only got a couple more. I had settled into a routine of trying heelflip then treflip one direction. I never got a treflip. Going the other direction nollie flip, switch front heel, switch flip. I would not get my feet on the nollie/switch flips but I was committing to several and it felt close. Left bummed once again that I couldn’t easily land a treflip.
