skate journal: the freaking garage again (jan 22, 2025)

Posted in Skate Journal on January 22nd, 2025 by corpo

This winter blows. After a long day of work I went into the garage with only a small desire to try and do little nosebonk jibs on the SWAB plastic. So after some brief shove warm ups that’s what I did. Did some regular manuals and 180s out. Then nose bonk and nosebonk 180s without ollies. Then I set it upright and ollied over it which wasn’t easy in such little space. Okay, it wouldn’t be easy for me with ample space. Then I went on to flippers. Kickflip, fakie flip, b/s flip all real quick. Halfcab flip and heelflip took an annoyingly long time. Got a few sloppy treflips. Hucked nollie flips after that, a few of which I committed to, but none were close.

In the garage yet again. Didn’t feel like trying flippers so pulled out the old SWAB plastic. Started with some 50s on it, some 5-0s, front nosegrind 180, tried front nosegrind shove. Failed at fakie 5-0. Went in on kickflip 50 which took a long time. Got a couple sloppy ones. Went back inside.
