skate journal: short tired windy manual fails (oct 12, 2025)
On a really windy day I randomly ended up at this little downhill driveway / manny pad / wallride spot. I was tired from the punk show and a little under the weather. Skating didn’t go well. I did some brief dorking around to warm up before going in on a line. Manual, ollie up, wallie nollie off. I got a couple manuals right away, then couldn’t do it again. It was so frustrating. Something about how short the little manny pad was scared me. I kept bailing ever kickflip trick in between tries too and it was driving me nuts. I finally just filmed the wallie nollie. Then I tried some frontside whirlybirds that wen’t very close.
