skate journal: Flat ground in front of the house (Oct 21, 2010)

Kid duty for me as Liz was going to a movie with a friend later. I had one of those days at work where I didn’t stretch for some lame reason, but I gabbed my board pretty much right away and went to it. Seeing as how it was rush hour there was a lot of people driving by the house which messed up my tempo a bit, but kinda let me rest too. Kickflips took a few tries. That’s not cool. After a good 20 minutes of sucking things started working out and I tried some tricks I hadn’t since the knee bruise. Treflip, double flip, nollie treflip, b/s flip, halfcab flips. I did most of them, but not in lines like I was trying. I tried one line one way of halfcab flip, treflip then heelflip. I had the most trouble with the heelflip. Ugh. The other way I was trying front shove, double flip, nollie treflip, but never got the double flip until Bernie showed up to drop off some footage and I snapped one in front of him to remind him who’s boss. Blah, I’m joking of course, but he was hyped. That’s the first double flip I’ve landed not wearing the IPath Stash shoe.
