skate journal: garage flat with ollie (feb 18, 2020)

Feeling a little run down I didn’t want to try to find something dry in the cold. I had made a list for 10×10, but to my surprise Ollie came out and skated with me. So that changed things a little. I had done some warmups, kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip when he came in. He just worked on kickflips. Oh man he got so close too. He said he was only going to try 10, but he probably tried 50. I’m sure he could get it. I didn’t get heelflip or halfcab heelflip. I got b/s flip and one weak f/s flip then went into treflips. I never even got both feet on it. I was like 0-50. I think I need to give up on 8″ because I can’t treflip on it. I didn’t get depressed though because I was happy Ollie was skating. And my knees weren’t hurting.
