skate journal: flatground friday meh disappointed (july 25, 2025)
After work and a long afternoon nap I went under the shady trees across the street to skate some flatground. Nate had armed me with a 10×10 list, but I ended up not really sticking to it. I remember taking a few tries to kickflip which was the start of my demise. I guess halfcab flip and b/s flip felt good, but heelflip came around and I could not do it to save my life. I don’t know what it is about Thunders, but I cannot land heelflips with them. To make matters worse I went in on treflips after that. Never got both feet on one. Was super frustrated. Was close to nollie flips at least. Left at peace but slammed on a kickflip on the new street on the way home and focused my old board. Wah.
