Finally feeling somewhat healthy. After a day of g-chatting at work then a nap I set out to do 10 tricks, 10 tries each. My list is above. I had warmed up a little before that, but hadn’t really done any of the tricks except heelflip and halfcab flip before I started 10×10. It went pretty good I guess. Until I watched the footage that is. Wow my style is bad. The halfcab flip and f/s halfcab heel were first try. The 360 flip and ‘nollie flip’ were 10th try. Everything else was in between. Seeing the footage I probably should have done more attempts to get them looking better. Oh well, live and learn. I was really happy to kind of land a nollie flip because that’s 2 days in a row I landed on it. Gonna keep at that one for sure. The slam on the varial heel got my hip pretty good. It hurts. After the 10×10 I kept skating. Still couldn’t land a nollie tre. So weird. I would eventually land one very sloppily. Other tricks I did. Varial flip rewind, b/s halfcab heel, fakie bigflip, fakie varial flip, a few more 360 flips, more heelflips. Then I hucked tricks I never land for a bit and didn’t get too close to anything. At the end I was hucking cab flips both ways. I wasn’t very close. On the regular cab I decided to go big flip as it seemed like it would help the spin. It did. I did two cab bigfips in a row. Wow! Now before you think it looked like this, remember that it’s me. I was going slow and there was a lot of pivot. Luckily I didn’t film it because in my head it was mostly one motion. I am going to work on it though. Man it’s great to feel healthier.
