skate journal: chill fun flatground afternoon (june 4, 2020)
After a mellow day I went to the school around 4 for an hour of flatground. I had new bright orange/blue spitfires. I started slow with no real plans. I got my original warm up line first try. Kickflip, no comply 180, fakie flip. Then a pop shove revert followed by switch shove revert. Also got halfcab flip then backside flip pretty quick. After that things took awhile, but I would get a few tricks here and there. Frontside halfcab flip and heel. Going uphill I was trying harder stuff, a lot of nollie treflip attempts that weren’t too close. Going downhill i stuck with the Irongman for quite awhile and was really struggling with heelflips. i finally got a couple and landed a treflip too. That made me happy. I got a fakie varial flip and almost followed it with nollie varial flip. I got a couple fakie bigflips. That was an hour, it was fun.
