skate journal: early morning hips at woodruff (july 22, 2016 day 204)
Up early in the morning getting my skating in before the family woke up. I started off not feeling very good and then switched into some old vulcanized shoes I had found in the closet. Some Etnies RCT. They are neat looking and in good shape, but a little small. Anyways, they felt a lot better and I stayed in them. My first sign of life was a line of f/s ollie, heelflip on flat then kickflip over the b/s hip. I had some little 180’s and stuff over a piece of wood, but I mostly just did flippers. Oh yeah, most of the obstacles were totally wet from dew so I couldn’t skate them. I had to use my foot to dry off the hip which was the least wet obstacle there. Did a lame fakie bigspin, some nollie 180s, a rare cab, a couple b/s flips, a f/s halfcab flip that took awhile to land. I had hucked quite a few other tricks like nollie tre, front heel, cab flip, but never got too close. Then I went and picked up some coffee for the Mighty LZA as it was her birthday.
