skate journal: solo louisville trying to get back into the groove of things (march 7, 2016 day 67)
Forced myself to get off the couch after my first day of work in awhile. Went to Louisville park. When I arrived there were a couple other skaters there. One of which was completely destroying with super fast 360 flip, monster frontside airs, fast ledge tricks, etc. It was crazy. I bailed axle stalls to warm up, got a kickflip on the bank, failed to do a front pivot on the bank to curb. The other dudes left. I then mostly skated the ledge. I took awhile and I skated slower then I like to, but I finally got in the groove a little. I got a few tricks (all of which took a long time). Back noseslide, back noseslide to fakie, back crooks, front 50, front 50 front 180 out, front 50 shove out, a really slow front tail, front 5-0, back 50, halfcab noseslide almost halfcab noseslide to fakie. I left shortly before the lights shut off. It was cold. But I was happy to start kind of feeling like myself again. And I’m still amazed how much more pop the STFs have then the Formula 4s.
