skate journal: parking garage challenges on a crisp night (jan 14, 2015 day 14)

Went to Red Curbs on a crispy night with temperatures slightly below freezing. I had to do a slappy front noseslide per my game of #theglenandjoshOLDFARTlongdistanceinstagramtricksuperchallenge with Josh. I pretty much just started with it. You know, straight to hammers. I did a few really bad ones, a lot of bails, some slams even before getting the tiny one above. It was way harder then I thought it would be. This game will quickly show how much of a better skater Josh is then me. Oh well, I’m used to it. I did a few other things at Red Curbs like posing front shove back 50, slappy crooks and back 50s.

Then I went to Blank Curbs since it’s a bit warmer then Red Curbs and it has parking blocks. I wanted to do a no comply flip as a return challenge to Josh. I set the camera up right away as that trick is a crap shoot and who knows when/if I would land it. Turns out it was like 3rd try. Hyped! I tried a few more with a better angle, but decided to just skate instead. Tried a line for awhile of kickflip over that parking block, b/s flip on flat, fakie flip on flat, fakie flip to front tail. I did get really close once though. I was pretty unsuccessful at 360 flips. All in all kind of not so motivated which was weird. I need to skate different spots and I want some warmer weather darn it!
