skate journal: another hard 10×10 list before work, but landing a few at least (sept 26, 2018)

Feeling a little better than the day before (since I only skated once yesterday ha ha) I went to the dog park on a cool morning. Warm ups went okay, then I went in on the list I made.

Fakie flip – make
heelflip – 10th try make
Frontside halfcab flip – Barely a make
Halfcab heel – slow make
360 flip – Missed this one again. Argh. The 2 hands down landing was before the 10 tries were up, the 1 try landing was like 30 tries later and that’s all I got.
Nollie flip – not close this time
Switch flip – was committing at least
Rick Flip – Not quite a make, but felt cool
Nollie inward heel – Hard to believe I have landed this trick once before
Nollie front heel – Not even close

(setup 8.25 null lazer deck, venture 5.25 awake lows, bones medium bushings, 3 washers inside each axle, 51mm v1 bones stf wheels, new balance numeric brown 212s size 11.5, footprint flat 5mm insoles)
(pain level 2/10)

skate journal: impossible 10 tricks 10 tries list before work (sept 25, 2018)

Made a list of tricks in which I really can’t land many of them. Did a couple minutes of basic warm up then went to it.

Heelflip – Can’t believe I missed this
Halfcab heelflip – Again, mad I missed this
Fakie bigflip – The only trick I landed, but I had to go super slow
Varial heel – Not even close
360 flip – So mad I missed this one
Nollie flip – Haven’t landed one in a couple years, at least it felt close
switch flip – Same as above
Switch frontside flip – never landed this, it seems possible
Blizzard flip – Felt like hucking
Frontside cab heelflip – A dream trick that seems somewhat possible

After the list I started back in to 360 flips and ended up giving up. Somehow without focusing my board.
