Snowy night, too lazy and unmotivated to go to a parking garage. Cleared out some space in the garage and skated in there for the first time in what feels like forever. It was really fun. I put on an old mix tape on the cassette player and dork out. The very limited space was rough at first. I did some basic 180s and shoves to start. Then went to kickflip with the goal of doing 5 in a row, but I kept not quite getting there. So I moved on the fakie flip. Then tried 20 switch flips in which some felt very close. Never landed both feet on one but was fully committed above the board and if it had flipped faster I think I would have landed it. B/s flip took a bit and was scary spinning in such limited space. Halfcab flip. Heelflip took a bit. Was really close to the elusive nollie tre. I think that is one of the few flippers I’ve never landed in my garage. Got a treflip in 5 tries. Hucked some nollie inward heels and kind of got the feel but, was not close at all to committing. Same with switch f/s flip. Fun times.
