skate journal: another snow day garage session (jan 19, 2025)
Posted in Skate Journal on January 19th, 2025 by corpoAfter 10″ of snow the day before the sun was out, but it was only 17 degrees so nothing was melting. I went out to the garage before lunch and skated for a little over an hour. I had worked out pretty hard and my legs were sore from that and the session the day before. I wore vulcs, which somehow didn’t seem good this time. Anyway, went through random warmups before board flippage. Kickflips didn’t come as easy as yesterday, but I still managed 5 in a row once I got going. Sw flips were not close. Fakie flip quick, nollie flips were remotely close. Went for heelflip and for whatever reason I couldn’t do one. Rather than freak out I moved on. Got treflip 2nd try! And then another really bad one on try 10 so 2/10 is my best in a while. Managed to get a heelflip in a few tries after that. First try halfcab flip. B/s flip in a few tries. Randomly tried sex change which didn’t come as easy as I hoped. Added fakie bigflip, varial flip, really bad f/s halfcab flip. Couldn’t get nollie varial heel or switch varial flip. Tried halfcab heels at the end and was very close, but didn’t get one.
