skate journal: post presentation windy blue skies blah (feb 5, 2025)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on February 6th, 2025 by corpo

Went to blue skies on a lunch break from work. It was windy. I had just done a 30 minute presentation in front of like 30 people and felt very relieved. I had put Thunders on. Hated it. Had no juice anyway. Did a few boardslides, switch nose jibs, ollies to fakie, kickflips and was going to leave but tried to make myself do at least one thing that was somewhat harder. And it’s kind of funny because I forget what it was, I just know it was a line with a slow halfcab noseslide in it.

skate journal: blah dog park turned fakie tre fails (feb 4, 2025)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 6th, 2025 by corpo

After work stopped by dog park as it was getting dark. Will had already been skating and was grinding ledges already. I felt super off. Clipped on an ollie up the curb. Will did some casual manuals, 50s, 5-0s and maybe a nosegrind. I got a few ultra basics, but nothing beyond a normal first lap around the park. Until Will made us do halfcab noseslides on the bench. He did his after a switch ollie onto the c pad. I had tried to do mine in a line with boardslide, no comply 180 and fakie flip. But instead it was by itself. At the end we tried some flatground. I forget what we started with, but it turned into Will trying f/s flip and me trying fakie tre. He would get a f/s flip in about 15 minutes. I would not get a fakie tre in about 30 minutes. Was impressed I managed not to focus my board.
