Went into the garage feeling sluggish after a WFH snow day (yes, more snow). I wanted to try some basics on the 8.25 and see how it felt in comparison to 8″.
kickflip – felt good
fakie flip – felt alright
backside flip – didn’t flip as easy, but got a few
frontside flip – scared to commit, didn’t get one
halfcab flip – got one first try, but it didn’t get around as easily as the 8
f\/s halfcab flip – got one that felt fine
heelflip – could not get one in 20+ tries. I was pretty much over the 8.25 at that point
fakie heel – committed, but could not get it
halfcab heel – couldn’t commit, but I’ve been struggling with that one anyway
f\/s halfcab heel – committed, but it never came around
treflip – was pretty over it by that point, never committed. Didn’t feel better than 8″. I guess I just can’t treflip lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
