It's been 10 whole minutes since @the_neviathan posted his fail for #theglenandjosholdfartlongdistanceinstagramtricksuperchallenge and took a letter. Time for a new challenge! This is an old guy classic. No comply finger flip. I learned them from the master @neilsoffire and will accept the flick with either hand. Have fun @boredzinejp and @the_neviathan! #andnate #ithelpsifitsreallycoldandslappingtheboardhurts

I went out in front of the house on a cool day 4 times. I brought my work computer out each time to hit refresh in case I had some work to do. The first three times I would immediately see something that needed attention for work. It was so annoying. Luckily the 4th time was a success though and I had about an hour and a half to get used to flipping the bigger setup. I started by doing the no comply finger flip for the game. It was cold enough that slapping the board with my fingers hurt. I was pretty sore and arthritic from the weather change, but after some no pop shoves and ollies my body felt pretty loose. Pretty early on I got a nollie varial flip which kind of hyped me up. Took a bit to get the fakie bigflip, but once I did I had it every try after. I got 5.25 treflips. Ha ha, 4 clean ones, 2 one-handed landings (.5) and 1 two-handed landing (.25). Landed on a bunch of nollie 360 flips, but didn’t ride out of any. Also landed halfcab flip, heelflip, b/s flip, f/s flip, varial flip, fakie varial flip. Geez, that’s not a lot. Came somewhat close to switch frontside flip. I had fun even though I really didn’t land a whole lot.
