skate journal: warm up at stonehenge, more valmont with lots of flippers (sept 9, 2015 day 244)

stonehenge

After sparring with Liz a bit I drove off to take some steam off on the concrete. I went to Stonehenge to warm up which was fun. I went through the basics doing both fs and bs. Rock, axle, pivot, smith, disaster (back disaster took me a long time) and tail.

Then I went to Valmont yet again. I wanted to hit a ledge and flatground and didn’t have much time so why bother driving to a crowded skatepark. I started at the ledge and went through some basics and did some flippers in between. It was fun. Crooks, back 50, front 50, front tail, halfcab noseslide. Close to front nose. I did several flippers, came super close to nollie inward heel. Had a fun ollie or two of the loading dock and a front 180 then went and skated flatground with my new 10×10 list:
fakie bigflip
360 flip
fakie 360 flip
nollie 360 flip
bs halfcab heel
nollie flip
nollie varial flip
fs bigspin
varial heelflip
rick flip
I landed fakie bigflip, 360 flip, nollie 360 flip and nollie varial flip. My phone ran out of space halfway through though so looks like I have time to redo it before Friday. I’d like to get rid of fs bigspin as I don’t really care to learn that one.
