skate journal: lunch flatground meh (jan 19, 2026)

It had snowed overnight, but only a trace. The sun was out and it was nice and since there was no school for MLK Day I went and skated flatground. I had 8.25 with Thunder. Meh. Kickflips felt decent initially. I somewhat quickly got the Reynolds line – backside flip, fakie flip, halfcab flip. I thought I was gonna be ripping. Only landed a questionable f/s halfcab flip after that. Was close on a few. I really should throw away all my Thunder trucks, I very much dislike them.
