I haven’t been feeling well for quite some time. It sucks. This day was way worse then normal. Arthritis, naseau, dizzy, unergetic, etc. I should have not skated, but I’m just too stubborn. I headed to Longmont to meet up with Bernie and Riley. They said to head to the industrial area and I was a little ahead of them so I found a shady area for flatground and tried to knock out my new flip trick for August. I did more basics then I thought I would warming up (except for treflip which is still being an elusive jerk). Then tried a ton of hardflips, actually committing to some, but never getting both feet on. Thought of trying a nollie varial flip revert so tried that for awhile. Most times, actually probably every time the board would do nollie tre instead. I didn’t get either before those dudes showed up.<\/p>\n
we went to that gnar bank to fence spot. Nolan was there and put down a banger over the doorway. I didn’t feel like skating so I just took a couple photos. Riley did a tail block. Then we went to the gap area behind the building. I dorked around badly and got pink slipped by Nolan in a game of SKATE where I landed on every trick (except nollie flip), but didn’t ride away from anything. Riley destroyed the gap over bench. Switch hard and nollie b\/s flip done to perfection. I tried ollieing up the ledge a few times, forcing myself to keep skating. Perhaps it was dumb. Then we all left.<\/p>\n
I headed back to Boulder determined to skate flatground for awhile to try and get my new trick for the month. The heat was intense, I felt horrible. But I kept skating. Couldn’t do a treflip to save my life. My shoes felt way too big. Tried a bunch more of those nollie treflip rewinds and got remotely close. They mostly turned into nollie tre body varials and I landed on a couple that didn’t flip. But shoves don’t count for my flip trick challenge. Hardflips weren’t happening at all. Tried f\/s halfcab double flips for awhile and got pretty close. I didn’t want to settle for a double flip trick though. B\/s flips were working and I thought of trying cab flips and the first one was almost a make. Battled it for about 10 minutes and rode away from one! It wasn’t perfect. It would probably warrant a redo in a game of SKATE as I kind of spun ~270, stopped briefly then dragged it the rest of the way around. I don’t care. I want to work on this trick more anyway. So yeah, some of the worst I’ve felt skating in awhile, but being so stubborn has it’s advantages and I landed my new flip trick with one day to go in the month. Whew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
