skate journal: flatground blah in the garage (feb 11, 2020)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 12th, 2020 by corpo

Went out into the garage on a cold night with very little motivation and a lot of anger towards winter. Was in the warm up process and had started on a 10 trick list I made when I got a 10 trick list from Fuller. I had tried 10 nollie tres. I committed, but didn’t land on any. That trick still eludes me in the garage. Here’s the list Dave made and the results (note I only tried 10 on most because I didn’t have the drive to try more):
kickflip shifty – 10th try fun one pivoted on the back wheels
bs nollie bigspin – got a couple terrible ones
switch pop shove revert – had a really fun feeling one
switch front bigspin – never committed, but felt close and wish i had more speed for it.
nollie back heel – not close
cab flip – not close. so hard to try in such little space
halfcab heel – not close which was upsetting
handstand – ha. I did something resembling a handstand
pogo – I think I did this one.
treflip – 0/12. I’m on a serious treflip drought and it’s depressing.
