Went to blue skies on a nice morning. I was pretty tired from lot sleeping well for some reason. It was friday so I planned on keeping with the flatground tradition. There were kids in the hockey rink so I went into the empty skatepark area. I hit the banks a little to warm up then mostly went into the flippers. It started off pretty good. Halfcab flip, fakie flip, fakie bigflip, varial flip, heelflip, f/s halfcab flip, but then I got stuck. Tried treflip, nollie treflip, nollie bigflip and f/s halfcab heel. Couldn’t do them. The treflip being the most maddening. I focused on just it for awhile and eventually landed an over 40 ‘Baker Maker’. I was late on getting back to work at that point so I bailed right away. Before the treflip rage I ollied the flat bar as a test to see if the big board really seemed to help my ollies. It felt good for sure. Cool. It’s not like I can land treflips consistently on any sized setup.
