After a long day of preparing for vacation and resting I went in front of the house.  I had asked Nate for a 10×10 list then ended up with the following list.  I did a few warm ups first then tried switch front bigspin for awhile.  Made me want a smaller board.  I’ll just add comments to each trick. 

front shove – got a few 

sw front shove – couldn’t get it

shove revert – struggled with this, but when I finally got it.  Made me want a smaller board.  

bs fakie bigspin – easy and fun

fakie flip – got a few with no pop

heelflip – got one 3rd try but couldn’t get another.  Made me want a smaller board.  

halfcab flip – only got one

Fs halfcab heel – got a really bad one 11th try

Rick flip – not even close. Made me want a smaller board.  

nollie back cab – got one shortly before the 10 try limit. 

Nollie front cab – maybe got one that would count on defense in an over 70 game of SKATE

tre flip – got a super bad one 10th try.  Made me want a smaller board.  

Nollie varial flip – I tried but it didn’t come around.  Made me want a smaller board.  

Switch varial flip – not very close

Nollie big heel – not close. Made me want a smaller board.  

Fakie hardflip – was tired and didn’t really try.  

So clearly you can sense I wanted a smaller board.  We’ll see if I make any changes.
