360 flip

After work I stopped by my new favorite flatground spot and slowly warmed up. I had done a few tricks like heelflip, halfcab flip, etc before asking Matt, Josh and Nate for a 10×10 list. Matt responded first with the following
Fakie flip
halfcab flip
fakie bigflip
b/s flip
f/s flip
360 flip
nollie treflip
switch flip
switch heel
nollie heel
Other then 360 flip and b/s flip I got the first 7 relatively easy. I was not close on the other three at all. Although I did try a few nollie heels while holding on to a support beam and landed one. So that was cool. I tried a few more tricks. Hardflip, fakie hardflip, halfcab heel, varial heel. Got close to them all. Then headed home for family night. I was going to post my 10×10, but I accidentally deleted the nollie tre. And since that was the best trick I landed and all the others are the same ones I always do I just deleted them. Fun day though. Flatground rules. 99 days in a row!

Went into the garage for a brief manny pad session. Didn’t even have my current skate shoes on and just skated the tiny 42mm setup. Just did a few of the 360 spin “manuals”. Slammed once. Then went and played football with Ollie.
