Got angry and inspired by this clip of a blind skater doing flip tricks I can’t. I went into the garage and tried nollie and switch flips for about 30 minutes. I was so close so many times to both. Then they kind of went away so I tried other tricks. Got a 360 flip second try. Hucked a bunch of flip tricks I can’t do and didn’t get anything. Ollie came out and joined me as I was about to head inside so I ended up skating for another hour or so. It was fun. I got a few flippers like heelfilp. b/s flip, an over 60 varial heel, couldn’t get another 360 flip, couldn’t get double flip. Ollie tried kickflips for a long time and just can’t get that front foot on there. He’s got a good flick though. Then he did shove its. These aren’t the best ones, we didn’t turn the camera on for awhile. It was cool though, he was having fun.
