Skate Journal

This is my first skate journal of many to come. I’m going to just talk about my skating, how much I progressed, what I’m learning, things of that sort. Ok, first things first I think that its been almost two years of skating and I finally can kick flip. I always just didn’t try, or just gave up. It was frustrating, but now I’m getting them better. Varial flips are becoming easier and easier. Just yesterday I landed about 10 bs flips, they feel natural and easier than fs flips a lot. I’m getting ollie nose manuals latly, so I’m going to get my nose grinds accomplished as soon as I make our new box, within a couple weeks at the most.by the way, my fs boards to regular are getting really natural and comfortable, im getting the easyness feel and position of my body to hold them long. I bs 180d a 3 and a small gap, easier than I thought that’s for sure. Ima throw em on bigger shit soon as the weather gets better. And if my bs flips get good soon then ill do those too. Bs 180s are really fun to, and I like pulling them, but its fucking frustrating when u cant stick it. There are a few tricks that I really need to learn or get back, crooks I need to learn sometime, but I never really feel like trying. I need to get my nose slides back, I had em really solid in the summer, but for some reason I just stopped doing em, and basically forgot how or something like that. I would love to learn tailslides, but its hard to get my tail locked up in good enough to actually slide good. Bs 5050s I like a lot, but I just need to get them more consistant on a ledge or a box, Ive only landed one (it was real nice though) on a normal foot high ledge, im going to make a adjustable round rail next week or asap in metals. The lowest setting is going to be 10" and the highest is 16". im going to get lips on the 10" one then move it up. Its going to only be (hopefully) about 1" or 2" width of pipe. So its going to be rad to learn 5050s on a round rail. I havent rolled my ankle too bad in a long time and im really gratefull for that. Its been raining a lot so ill write up another entry as soon as I can skate again. l8erZ
