I went for a skate today down at Umina Park. (I was the only skateboarder for most of the day michelle  )
I decided I wanted to learn some frontside tricks (since I can’t do any lol)
I could barely even frontside kick turn so I spent all day just turning frontside around the bowls and quarters.
Then decided I was gunna land something new before I leave. So I tried about a thousand times and eventually I pulled off a
*Frontside axel stall
*Frontside 50/50
Stoked!

And I made sure I did them a few times to get them locked down. Good day skating!  rocker

Had an awesome skate around the city tonight. Didn’t try many tricks but had so much fun.

While we we’re skating around the city my mate and I found some places that we didn’t even know existed, we also met this dude that is new to town and he tried to tre flip on my mates board while he was completely drunk LOL he said he’ll try come down to our park this week…lets hope he remembers! billy
I also tried dropping off ledges and I had an attempt at a bs 50-50 but it ended up turning into a boardslide. Almost did a boardslide but I just need some more speed and confidence.

Fun sesh!

Had a sick skate today/tonight.

First off, my mate and I went to the skatepark but it was pretty packed because Tuesdays are “bike night”. We didn’t get much done so we went to my school and skated there.

When we got there I was practicing ollieing up the curbs and ollieing off them. Now ollieing up and down curbs is second nature to me. I wanted to try work my way up to the 2 set they had there but I wasn’t too confident so I tried dropping off the ledge next to it. After a couple of tries I managed to drop off it smile Still wasn’t confident about to the 2 set because there wasn’t much of a run up…probably only about 2 metres or so.

I have also been practicing my manuals. I can do normal tail manuals pretty good I guess and now I’m trying to ollie then manual. I have also started trying to learn nose manuals. I’ve found the “sweet spot” but I can’t hold the manual there for long but I guess I’m making pretty good progress with them :D

Met up with some other mates and chilled/skate at the school for a good 4-5 hours LOL
