On a cloudy cool day I went in search of dry flatground. It had snowed 20+ inches a couple days ago. I didn’t have to go far and ended up at a random church parking lot off Baseline. The flatground wasn’t great, but there was more space than my garage and a slight downhill made some “no push” lines fun (even though I was going super slow). The first time skateboarding after snowboarding is always super hard. You have to actually ollie instead of just jump. Ha. I started slowly going through the motions of nollie shoves, fakie shoves, 180s, no comply 180s, etc. I got my first try kickflip, but then didn’t land a few. I had put some bigger wheels on and the ol’ cast baseplates. This is because I can’t seem to skate ledges with the lighter trucks. I should have brought LGJ, but I didn’t want to deal with that struggle. I would go on to get a lot of flippers for me. Kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, fakie bigflip, heelflip, halfcab heel, f\/s halfcab heel, f\/s halfcab flip, varial flip, fakie varial flip. Geez, I guess 10 is “a lot” for me these days. I couldn’t get treflip or nollie tre (although I didn’t try either all that much). I came real close to switch flip and rick flip. Hucked a few back 360 flips and cab flips that were not close, but felt doable. I had tried several ironmans, but struggled with the heeflip too much. Argh. I ran out of energy pretty quick and soreness set in. I guess jumping on asphalt is way more painful than powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
