Skated transport after work, after getting an early finish at 4:30pm. Bit colder today at the start but weather was dry and sun was out a bit. Andy was there when I got there. Warmed up with 180s then all the shuvs x3. No flips today. Then tried my wee ledge warm up mix of 50 50, then manny, then nose slide, then crook and finish with front nose. Never did the whole drill but go most of the main bits. Still can't lock my nose mannies for some reason.

 After messing with a few things I wanted to try something different. Been thinking of doing fakie tail, fakie back tail, nollie nose and nollie fs ns. Nollie fs ns came quite quick and did it relatively decent. Started with fakie tails next but could not good a decent one even after a good surprising start, ended up with one shiter. Moved to nollie ns which use to be a real strong trick long ago, however managed to sketch one out. Finally was fakie back tail, got two shit ones with the second being okish. Don't think I have landed any of these before except nollie ns, but I could be wrong, in any case its been many years and doing them all in one sesh was exactly what I've been thinking about for a while. For some reason been scared to lock in or go for these tricks. Hopefully this is not a anomaly and the start of a decent foundation. 

I got a decent switch fs nose slide, wee cheeky fs ns to fakie. A first try nollie inward heel or maybe second try even though not doing any flat land. Fs heel first try. And got an OK nollie tre after about 20 gos. Switch crooks were not working which is no surprise. Nollie back 50s seemed to be on the cards. Nollie flip first try was all good. Fumbled a bunch of switch back heels and nollie fs flips sadly.

Big crew came out for essentially official or unofficial last day of summer. Vibe was pretty good. Andy and Andy had an incredible game of skate, which was mucho entertaining. Spoke to one of the transport locals due to his visionist t shirt, and had a wee convo on music. Not surprising no one has ever asked him about his visionist  t shirt before. Miracles do happen. 

Anyways Hopefully I can build on this sesh going into winter. Noseslides are OK all ways, nollie tails, fakie noses too. So next one is all the tails slides and off course all the crooks. Almost forgot, tried a few switch flips ns and kf fs ns, these all felt achievable today, didn't get them but they are to be conquered. Praying for switch fs heel and nollie back heel everyday =) peace.

Did good nollie back tail followed by nollie tail first t and then a half cab nose, then missed fakie front nose =[ back side kick flip first try and landed fakie front heel second try. Did nose manny switch manny and reg manny on long manual. Got half way on switch nose manny. Enjoying dropping in on quarters. Nose slide and front nose slide ok. One good nollie nose slide. Tried fs nollie nose once but failed and never tried again. Got a nice fakie 5 0 grind but never landed it. Tried some switch heel switch back tails for fun. Also tried nollie nose manny which felt nice and possible for the long manny. Did some good back 5050 ollie pop outs. Got a scare on nollie back 50 attempt and back t attempt. Skating a lot in a week really improves board control! Fs 180 nose grind first t on kerb felt gr...
