skate journal: quick curbs then some flatground (may 21, 2020)

After another way-to-busy day of work I went across the street. I did slappies for about 10 minutes then went and skated flat on the side of the house. Josh had challenged me to varial heel and I wanted to try it. I tried it going uphill and other tricks going downhill. I got a downhill line of no comply 180, halfcab flip, backside flip which made me happy. I got kinda close to varial heel. Committed so several, but didn’t get both feet on. Also tried some faster kickflips (which wasn’t fast because I have been slacking) followed by treflip which I didn’t get. Then I was too tired and went home.
