skate journal: flatground friday 10×10 before work in the sun (june 1, 2018)
Close your eyes! Ha. Sorry, it was a warm morning and I was in the mood to skate in shorts and then I took off the shirt. I skated for about 15 minutes before starting the 10×10. I had done a few kickflips, halfcab flip, b/s flip then decided to come up with a list to motivate a little. Here’s the list.
Halfcab flip
Heelflip
Fs halfcab heel
Varial heelflip
Nollie varial flip
Fakie bigflip
360 shove
360 flip
Nollie 360 flip
Fakie 360 flip
The halfcab flip was first try. The heelfip was 6th try, but I tried to get a better one and couldn’t. Bummed I didn’t get the close f/s halfcab heelflip because even after the 10×10 I couldn’t get it. I didn’t feel close to varial heel at all. Nollie varial flip came in a few tries and felt good. I tried 360 shove next and was bummed at how the board kept flipping a little. The fakie bigflip didn’t feel good, not sure why because they have been working lately. 360 flip was 7th try and felt great. Nollie tre was 10th try I think? Maybe it was earlier and I tried to get a better one. I was hyped to get close to fakie tre. It took about 15 tries total. Then I went for the 3 shove and it was another 20 or so tries before I landed that terrible one. Argh. Then I made myself ollie the cone and go to work. Ollieing the cone felt good, got it 3rd try.
