skate journal: flatground woes (dec 29, 2025)

On my lunch break went across the street to the side of the school to skate some flatground. My warm ups were meh, but kickflip and fakie flip were within a couple tries so I thought I’d be good. Nope. About 45 minute went by and I hadn’t landed another single flip trick. I had gotten close to several, but nothing. I was borderline losing my mind. But somehow I managed an actual good heelflip, my best in years. It actually popped and leveled out. So that hyped me up enough to continue and get a few more of the staples like halfcab flip, f/s halfcab flip, terrible fakie bigflip and eventually a backside flip. I had come very close to nollie flip, f/s halfcab heel and treflip.
