skate journal: garage putter basics then front heel attempts (jan 26, 2021)

Out in the garage on a snowy night I reassembled my “putter” and tried some flippers. It was an 8″ setup with 5.0 venture lows and 50mm wheels. It flipped really easy. I did kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, b/s flip quick. Couldn’t heelflip though. Got a garage make treflip in around 10 tries. Then tried front heels. Some were close. Most were not and I grabbed my regular 8.5 setup and initially was closer. Then less close. Then dinner was ready and I didn’t feel like trying anymore.
