Up early on Mother’s Day cleaning the house for Liz. Got some cleaning done and rain was threatening so we didn’t want to go for a hike. So I just went out and skated flatground for a bit. It turned into quite awhile. Kickflips came fine, bad heelflips, halfcab flip, fakie bigflip wasn’t first try, I landed on a million treflips but never had a clean one, nollie tre, landed on so many other tricks but didn’t ride away. Hucked cab flips and switch tres for awhile. It felt fun to huck. Also really close to a few nollie heels. Liz decided she just wanted to write so I headed out to Safeway ledge feeling pretty tired and sore already. Somehow rewarming up was fine. Got through quite a few basics. Well, back 50s were still tic tac’d as I can’t ever seem to lock in. Got a slow front tail that slid which made me happy. Didn’t get too flippy as I had already spent a couple hours skating flatground. Although I had a few close nollie heels again. Some day! Then I basically just got into a rut of trying front crooks over and over and over. Got close to a few. I hope I learn that one.
