On a cool and rainy fall night I went to my favorite solo parking garage on Valmont. I started just rolling around doing wallies over the parking blocks and being happy that my achilles is letting me push again. It took awhile before I started trying kickflips and other flippers. I was 0-20 on treflips, but I blame not being able to jump. Something is wrong lately. I have no energy to jump. But I kept at it. I would try a bunch of flippers or slappy tricks then on the tiny curb would either try kick back tail or fakie flip front tail. After awhile I put the newspaper stand out and tried to ollie it. Failed, but committed. Skated around some more. Was feeling kind of down, then all of a sudden did one of the better lines of my life. Ollie the news stand, no comply front 180 and then landed my first ever fakie flip front tail. I rolled away (at 1mph) in disbelief and the stoke hit me. Gonna have to keep trying that one! That ended my session.
