skate journal: more sweating in the garage (feb 2, 2016, day 33)

Went out to the garage not feeling so motivated about having to skate there again. I mean I guess I could hit a parking garage, but it was only like 10 degrees out. I randomly started doing the rad no comply/boneless tricks that Rob does to get warmed up. Then I decided to try it 180 (above). So fun. I was also doing kickflips to get things going. I got a heelflip in less time then it’s taken in awhile, but of course next up was treflip and it took awhile. I had quite a few random ideas. I struggled with one foot tailgrab for awhile which I couldn’t really do in high school and to no surprise I still can’t. Couldn’t nollie flip. Did some frontside grabs and a pop shove tail grab. Ha. Posed nollie heel, switch frontside flip, switch flip with no success. Finished the night trying kickflip noseslides. Got a couple close ones, but never locked in. One of these days I hope.
