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 landed on the block, also fakie ollie front nose first try. Got a good fs ns second try nice and solid. Also got a decent switch fs ns and switch bs. Got a shitty half cab noseslide and ok nollie tail. Did a couple of fs tailslides and posed in my min switch back tail and back tail but never did any serious try. Some of the 180/ollies/nollies up the manny felt really good. Tried pooping a few switch tres and one regular tre. Highlight was the nollie back tail, switch fs come out forward and the solid fs ns. Couldn't crook the big block today, it was what it was. After not skating for two weeks, today felt pretty good

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...

Back to Loading Bay after Lanzarote. Was quite fun. Most 180s are fine however struggled going up manual for fakie f/s 180 and switch back 180. So did them on flat. Landed a good switch crook. 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...

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...
