\"360<\/a><\/p>\n

Was thinking I’d be in a parking garage for sure, but late in the afternoon the temperature went way up to 40 and the snow disappeared from the cement (it was still all over the grass). I started at this bank. Since I had blown out the PJs I was doing some closet cleaning and skating an old pair of Es Accel Slims. They felt decent, a little thin compared to what I’ve been used to so I was scared to commit to flippers sometimes. I started out on the bank. After some warm up carves and nollie shoves I started in with the flippers. The kickflip took awhile and then varial flip took so long I gave up and decided to go with 360 flip to fakie. I got a couple where I put the hands down, but that was about it. 45 minutes of frustration. I would try nollie flips or switch heels on the way back. I got close to nollie flips, but never put my feet on it. <\/p>\n

Then I went to the other side of the building and tried to line out the manny pad for awhile. I was really hucking and posed some 360 flip disaster stalls on a curb. Got close to manual and nose manual front 180 out, f\/s halfcab heel. I had begun realizing I would not actually land anything this day.<\/p>\n

I went to leave, but saw this little curb cut I’ve never ollied. I wanted to line it out. Flip trick in the street, ollie up the curb, ollie the curb cut, do a downhill manual on the sidewalk across the street. I started by not being able to land halfcab flips. I chalked it up to new shoes and stuck with it and started landing them. I was hyped on how fast I would ollie up the little curb, but never got the curb cut. I’d say the angle was wrong, but really, it’s just me. It was depressing.<\/p>\n

So I tried to cheer myself up with a couple more flip tricks on the bank before leaving. My first fakie flip was a total shinner. Ugh. Then it took like 5 more tries to land it. Man what a day. I did kickflip to fakie and then tried to do a cab tailblock. Got kind of close before posing 10 switch flips on the bank and calling it a day. At least I don’t expect to land a switch flip. Pretty rotten day, but was happy to be able to skate outdoors.<\/p>\n
