On a windy sunny day I went to the garage in the late afternoon. I had put Venture V8s on my new 8.25 and man it felt better. After a warmup I started flipping and kickflips took a bit. I wanted to try all the straight 8, but didn’t want to spend a lot of time on it. So I tried 5 tries on the ones I can’t do, but heelflip and especially fakie heelflip took forever. Treflip took me quite a while too but I did land on one and slam in the first couple tries. I rotated in a lot of hucking but still managed to land 10 flippers.

b/s flip
treflip
halfcab flip
halfcab heelflip
f/s halfcab flip
varial flip

I was happy I was 3/5 on backside flips, got a couple halfcab flips in a row, f/s halfcab flip was really hard with the weird angle I have in my garage (well I guess all tricks are hard in that little space) and ended with 3 varial flops in a row.

(pain level 2/10 seriously no idea how I felt fine but I did and it’s even weirder because I had a few drinks the night before)
