skate diary

Skated transport, it felt cold in the morn. 11:30 Few skaters there when I got there. Took a while to warm up, rolling around. More skaters arrived after 12pm. Mostly messed around with flat land. Trying nollie b/s, and other 180s. Tried a bunch of switch front heels and nollie bs heels. Not luck with those as per. Got switch flip first try, and kick flip first try. Got a decent switch heel, was happy with it, then messed up follow up regular heel. Had fun trying switch fs ns.  Skating was really slow from Jan to Jul. Starting to get into skating this Aug and sep. I wanted to keep it going. The changing of transport museum spot has really been a spanner in my rhythm. I'm not a fan from skate perspective of the spot change.

Skated loading bay. Decent skate. Good nose manny. Landed 3 half cab flips in a row

Evening skate at transport, Kai, Cammy, Andy and Kru were there skating. Spent the whole time skating flat at the front. Very enjoyable, also landed a nollie 360 flip! (After a lot of attempts) There was a new basketball hoop, and folks were giving it a go. Kai did a sick fakie crook

Good skate at loading bay today. Got long switch manny first try, followed up with long reg manny, failed on the long nose manny. Got long nose manny second try. Did my second nollie back tail on good block and followed up with fakie fs nose to fakie and a half cab nose slide, but then duffed up the nollie tail(had got a good nollie tail earlier first try. No probs with nose slides or switch noseslides. Got a decent fs nose and then fs ns to fakie. Didn't manage any switch fs ns. Few reg crooks on wooden ledge and bigger block. The cheery on top was getting my first fs nose grind on the block 3rd try then followed up with a half cab ns and finished with my second ever switch crook on the big block, all 3 tricks in a line and all felt really good. Was very happy so stopped the skate there, did some stretches and left.

Nice and sunny, weather was so good driving to skate that I thought I should check out transport before loading bay. Transport's carpark was busy, lots of families, some dudes were skating the front but there were folk going in and out of transport and the ground had grit, plus it was cold while walking through the front. I went through to the back which was depressing due to the fact that there was no sun there and all the building works clog the space up, it felt really damp, so I left to go to loading bay. The bay was relatively quiet, and did a short warm up on the open course area. I then start doing ollies and mannys. Also trying to drop in and stall as much as possible. Got manny, switch manny and nose manny without to much hassle. Decided to try switch crooks, thinking a need to have my body weight higher and be lighter on the truck, it worked sort of but I never landed on. Moved onto the big block, noseslide first try felt good. Nollie back tail first try, the first I have...

In Stockholm managed to film some clips in little bredang Park. Was pretty gutted camera turned off when I did a sweet little frontside half cab nose. That was 1st or 2nd of Sept. Day I went to Helsingfors, the morning was was really sunny and I got my first skate at bredang Park, where I had a new board and new shoes which was a lot of fun.  Today, I went to transport after work, skated for about 1hr ish. Did a few warm up ollie nollie fakie switch 180s I think. Did noseslide first go. Never got a fs nose slide but almost got a sweet 1. Some of the trys I was planning to go to fakie but it kinda slide going forward pretty cool. Done 3 50s got a switch nose slide first try. Tried a couple of nose grinds and front crooks. Got a crook. Got a tail to fakie first try, which Andy white seemed to appreciate and that got me hyped. Got a shitty half cab flip first try. A shitty fs half cap flip 3 3rd try. A few ok fs half cab heel flips. Fee shitty switch flips. An OK heel flip.  A co...
