skate journal: garage flippers (dec 28, 2021)
Cold night, feeling run down, possibly covid so I went to my newly cleaned out garage. It was nice having more room. Did a few warmups, a few kickflips, fakie flips. Then tried nollie varial heels for a bit. Got close to a few early on then they disappeared. Then mostly stationary treflips. I tried them stationary because I feel like it’s helping learn a better form rather than using momentum. But I never landed one. I would be close to several. Got one heelflip, but couldn’t get another. Close but no cigar on nollie varial flips. I skated hard, but once again did not land anything. Argh. I had changed back to Ventures and wore some 288S to reduce some of that high heel pain from the 440s. It helped, but that shoe also does not flick as well.
