skate journal: flatground 10×10 at the school after tough day at work (june 14, 2023)
Posted in Skate Journal on June 16th, 2023 by corpoAfter work and some food I went over to the school. The recent heavy rain had left branches everywhere and the smoother area had a dumpster plopped in the middle of it. I have an eye infection and can’t wear contacts for a couple of weeks. All this and I made a list of tricks half of which I cannot do. Anyway, here’s the list and the results:
Halfcab flip – kind of flopped one in a couple tries and got a couple more not great ones
Heelflip – got one and it felt good
Bs flip – phone turned off at this point, got a couple bs flips
Fakie bigflip – barely got one 4/4 so far
Nollie bigflip – only got close on one try
Treflip – got one terrible heels on the ground one which I am grateful the phone died so no one sees it
Sw treflip – not close, going to keep trying
Halfcab heel – struggled more than I hoped and didn’t get close
Varial heel – somewhat close to a couple
Sw bs flip – not even close and there was an annoying family with two scooter kids watching me
After that I went behind the school and tried to line out some ollies and stalls onto the big rocks, but I was tired, sore and arthritic feeling and ollies were not working at all so I left. Then it poured again.
