skate journal: flatground friday then some kickflip nose stall attempts (april 30, 2020)
After work I chilled for a bit. Apparently too long and Saul and Dave L had left Close. Maybe it was the family biking around the curbs. I just went to the side and got to work warming up for a flatground friday list. I originally had 11 tricks, but changed it to 10. I took awhile to get warm up kickflips and fakie flips and it was a little maddening.
Halfcab flip – took like 20 tries I was going crazy
Fakie bigflip – around 8th try, tried to get a better one but did not
Backside flip – landed on several, but still can’t land one clean to save my life.
Frontside flip – at least I’m starting to flip the board more than 90 degrees. now if I just had any speed at all.
Treflip – 6th try, couldn’t get a better one.
Heelflip – 5th try
Varial heel – felt pretty close
Rick flip – ended up trying about 20 and they felt really close.
Switch flip – not even close
Nollie tre – tried like 20 of these as well and a few felt close.
Then I went behind the school and tried kickflip nose stalls for about 15 minutes. A couple were close, but I never locked in. JP and I are hoping to land these. I’ve done a couple where they fell off right away, but would love to get one posted up and slide it for awhile.
