This is the front runner for my favorite part in 2015. But until I see the 5Boro video I’m not going to call it.

skate journal: lazy garaging while listening to the broncos game (dec 28, 2015 day 348)

Went out into the garage feeling very bummed on winter. It was 16 degrees out so any parking garage would still be pretty cold. I fired up an old radio and turned the Broncos game on. I’m not the biggest football fan, but it ended up being a fun way to listen to the game. I started with a few river dances on Banky. Then I attempted kickflip noseslides and heelflips for a long time. Landing a heelflip took me an hour. It was ridiculous. I managed to land another bad kickflip noseslide. One with the board in rocket position that slid off. It still felt cool, but I really wanted to get posted up on it. Then I mostly skated flatground. I tried a million nollie flips and came close, but never landed any. Never got a treflip either. Pretty close on switch flip. Got b/s flips and halfcab flip and f/s flip first try. Remotely close to switch f/s flip. I also tried a couple Rob tricks for some reason. Back 180 one foot and halfcab one foot. Those were fun. All in all a pretty bad session, but it was cool to get close to switch and nollie flips. I haven’t been skating flatground enough lately.
