Almost forgot to write this entry. I was so tired and pretty sore after work. I sat around watching football with Ollie trying to motivate to skate when he said he’d skate the school with me during halftime. Rad. He almost landed his first kickflip first try, but never got it. He ollied up the curb a few times, had some 180s off, front axle stall. I did a few nollie back tails and then randomly started trying a new trick. Nollie back shove to front nose. I got a few, but was never totally posted up on it, still fun though.

I thought WKND would win it last week, but then this surprise NB# edit came out with 3 dudes killing ledges and it hyped me up even more.

Went to the dog park on the coolest morning of the season so far, in the mid 40s. It felt great. I had more time than normal so I warmed up a bit more than normal. Did some kickflip, fakie flips, halfcab flip, shove its, etc before digging in.

Backside flip – yes
Fakie varial flip – yes
Nollie varial flip – no, normally can get this one
Heelflip – yes, 10th try, worst heelflip i’ve ever done. I seem to have forgot how to do them.
Rick flip – no, couldn’t even commit
360 flip – yes, finally got an ugly one after it’s eluded me all week
Nollie 360 flip – no, the hands down one is funny though
Switch flip – no, it flips when I pose it, but not when I commit. hmm.
Switch fs flip – no, I’ve never landed this, felt close though
Nollie heel – no, never landed this, the one that flipped was pure luck
varial heel – no, felt remotely close, it’s been awhile. maybe since boards were smaller than 8″
ghetto bird – no, never done this one, feels possible.
