Kickflip Report: May 24, 2023.
That is exactly 5 more kickflips than I did yesterday, so I will take it.
I broke my ankle doing flatground kickflips in 2010 and have had a serious mental block about this trick, so it's triumphant to get past (some of) it.
Sometimes all you need is a good hour after work.
So thankful to be out there. Did the hard 180, a kickflip, jumped over some trash switch, and got those sweet endorphins.
Plus: first time in the AS-1s.
90 degrees in Seattle. Doing my best. First time at Shoreline.
Tim took two gnarly slams and rolled his ankle.
I totally bunted the fakie ollie.
Stoked I got out there today at all.
Happy Mother's Day.
I can summarize what I'm trying to do with skateboarding this summer as:
I am trying to make the gap between how things look on a skateboard and how things feel on a skateboard smaller this summer.
It's a very difficult problem to crack.

Over 15 days since stepping on a board really makes me realize i need to find new hobbies. Never gonna quit living & breathing skateboarding but I am so damn BORED without it.
