After work on a Friday I drove through gridlock CU football traffic to dog park just as it started raining. I managed a couple tricks as it started. Mainly some curb 50s, noseslides and crooks on the bench. Tried to front 50 the bench a few times, but the rain became too much.

Went to the garage again. This time did the 180 sw crooks shove first try. I had a setup change that seemed okay. 8.3 with 8.25 thunders. It flipped slightly better. I would get a few flip tricks before Dave showed and some switch front axle stalls. I would get a switch front pivot on a curb too. Dave warmed up a bit then quickly did some nollie over to crooks on the “bump to curb”. But he did it for a long time to avoid the hand touch. I fell into a rut of trying kickflip axle stall then treflip for a long time. The great news being that I finally landed a treflip. It’s been a long time since I’ve done one on flatground. Also got a front smith stall kickflip out. No heelflip garnish though. Dave also did nollie shove transfer to pivot and back 180 sw crooks. Also a bangin’ fakie varial flip.
