skate journal: more garage flippers in the cold winter (jan 20, 2025)

Another snow day with temps way below freezing I went to the garage. This time I took all the bikes out and put a space heater in for a while before I skated. So it was pretty nice in there. I got kind of upset about my back 180s and took a while to get an alright one. Then to flippers I started with switch flip because hucking seemed better, none were close. Then I got my first 5 kickflip, first 3 fakie flips, first 2 b/s flips then 2/3 on halfcab flips. Was feeling pretty happy at that point, but heelflips ended the good streak and I took over 10 tries to get a couple. Then to treflip where I took around 20 tries to land one, but got two in a row and went on to get 3 more. The 4th one felt really great. I forced myself to move on even though I kind of just wanted to keep trying treflips. Could not get nollie flip, sw fs flip, nollie tre. Took a while to get fakie heel and fakie varial flip. Got pretty tired and called it a night.
