skate journal: Rampy after working at home (dec 30, 2014)
Worked from home again because it was still cold and snowy and well, we are really normally really slow during the holidays. I filmed this while I was technically still working, but I didn’t really skate, just a couple runs. A little later on I went back out to the ramp and got busy. A new trick I had in mind was front beanplant to disaster. But I didn’t even get close. I guess I almost put it into disaster a couple times, but that’s about it. The rest of the transition tricks didn’t go well either. I forced myself to do a back 50 then hurricane on the next wall without my normal rock fakie/tail stall setup. Tried to do axle stall followed by front tail and almost died a bunch. With the exception of a few tiny (and I mean insanely tiny) ollies to fakie I did nothing else on the ramp that was new or I was stoked on. Luckily flatgroud was better. I went through several of the basics. Then tried a bunch of nollie heels and felt like a few of them resembled nollie heels. Tried a few switch tres and felt like that trick could eventually happen. Technically landed on a bigflip, but it was very tic tacy. It’s nice being able to try whatever flip trick I want and not have to land a new one just for the number. I ended by doing some weak f/s ollies on the ramp and a few treflips on flat.
