Flatground Friday! I can never tell when I’m going to skate flatground good. I was mentally hyped on it today, but it became apparent pretty quickly that I wouldn’t land much. It was cold, but not that cold. My board was flat and slippery from the water dunk it took last week. That’s not really much of an excuse, but oh well. So yeah, I went to the hockey rink instead of the gym and skated flatground for about 45 minutes. The rink has a slight slope to it. Going downhill I would try tricks I should be able to land. Going slightly uphill I would try new ones. For a long time I failed at fakie double flips up and treflips down. I gave up on fakie double flips and tried switch varial flip rewinds. Both were close at times, but never that close. I landed on about 50 treflips, but never rode away. Then I randomly started trying varial flip sex changes and they felt close. A few tries later I sketchily rode away from one. Cool! So now I’m only one month behind again. So then I started trying treflips until I landed one. Took like 10 minutes. I was upset. But landing one made everything feel alright.
