Two hours in the garage. No new tricks to show for it. 😕 #obsessed

Went out in the garage after work and worked through most of the basic flippers. Kickflip, fakie flip, heelflip took way too long, 360 flip real quick helped erase the pain of struggling at heelflip, b/s and f/s flips, halfcab flips both ways. Then I went in for dinner, did the dished and headed back out to the garage determined to land a new flipper. But I struggled. So close to nollie and switch flips. Soooo close. Argh. Close to varial heel, couldn’t do halfcab heel, posed nollie back heel and switch f/s flip. Felt out hardflips, switch heels, nollie heels, but didn’t get close. Close to nollie varial flip and nollie treflips. The tiny garage is so hard for some tricks. I still had fun though and the shoes feel much more broken in now.
