It wasn’t all that cold out, but cold enough I felt like staying in the garage. I watched the PJ remix then got to it. Things started out great and I got through a few tricks real quick, doing 2 or more of each. Kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, varial flip, b/s flip. But when I got to treflip it took like 20 minutes. I think the stiff Westgates were making it hard. I would eventually get one and left it at just one. Then I got one of the better f/s flips I’ve done, f/s halfcab flip. Then to my surprise 2nd and 4th try heelflips. I came incredibly close to switch flip, kinda close to nollie tre. Ended with a sloppy fakie heel. That’s the first time I’ve done 10 flip tricks in a long time. Hooray for smaller trucks and cupsole confidence.
