Went to Blue Skies Skatepark for an early lunch break. It was so nice when I got there. That doesn’t mean the warm up process was easy unfortunately. My warm up line ended up being a boardlide on the flat bar, no comply 180 then switch noseslide on the little ledge and I managed a little crooks after that too. That run took me a long time the last time I was there. Next run was noseslide the flat bar and try front 50 shove. I never got the shove out though. Partly because someone waxed the crap out of the ledge and it was terrifying. Partly because I was trying to skate it faster then normal. I had done a few flip tricks. But then the wind kicked up fierce and kind of ruined everything. I tried to skate through it for awhile. Did my first “switch front nose” on a flat bar. Pretty fun. Tried boardslide shove out on the flat bar, got kind of close. Tried to ollie up the tall main ledge for awhile and got close, but no cigar. Stupid wind.

After work I went out in the garage for a bit to skate flatground. After the warm up period I basically tried switch flips “up” the garage and rattled off other tricks “down”. I never got a switch flip, but I did get very close. I got kickflip, b/s flip, varial flip, fakie flip, f/s flip, heelflip, 360 flip and got stuck on varial heelflip.
