skate journal: garage flat (nov 11, 2019)

Posted in Skate Journal on November 12th, 2019 by corpo

Out to the garage on a cold winter afternoon after working from home. After a brief warm up I went in on the straight 8 sticking to roughly 10 tries. Kickflip and fakie flip were fine. Got a couple terrible heelflips, fakie heelflips popped well, but I didn’t land them. All switch/nollie tricks weren’t close, but I did commit to at least a few of each of them. Nollie flip felt the closest. Then I got halfcab flips quick, didn’t get janoski flip. No front heel/switch front heel. Got 360 flip, but no fakie tre. No halfcab heel or nollie front heel. Ended with switch varial flip almosts then a sketchy fakie varial flip. I didn’t land much, but I did commit to every trick which is a start.
