So I went to the park earlier to run through the trails to get some exercise. After a big long lap through the woods and around the woods I found myself back at the park where a couple of my friends who I haven't seen in a long time were skating. So I borrowed a board and skated a little bit.

I'm still pretty rusty on all of my normal tricks but I did manage to learn two new ones!!

The first trick I learned, really RE-learned, was a varial heelflip. I used to have tons of trouble with these and I would only land one on occasion. Even though I haven't tried one in months I decided to give it a try and I landed it first try and it was the cleanest one I've ever done. It was pretty freakin' awesome!

The next trick I learned was a really weird and awkward trick. It was a crail grab body varial... or an ollie body varial late switch nose grab. It's REALLY REALLY weird but I landed it a few times.

I need to just cough up the cash and buy a board. I miss being able to skate frequently.

Haven't had a new trick in quite some time, but I've had a good time relearning old tricks. Although it's been forever since I've skated for longer than 45 minutes, I seem to be able to do everything I used to be able to do, just not quite as good. I just have to warm up each time I skate. Went out two days ago and got a 360 hospital flip just messing around. I didn't expect to land it at all, haha. I've got the best kickflips I've ever had now, too, for some strange reason. I wish I had people to skate with

Not totally sure what this was or how the hell I did it, but it happened as I was practicing sigma flips (I got two of those by the way!) Anyway, I did one that was a varial half flip late fs anti alpha double flip? It was as crazy as it sounds. It's hard to explain.

An alpha flip is a big spin hospital flip and a sigma flip is a varial half flip late anti casper flip. So I did varial half flip, caught it in anti casper, then spun my body fs 180 while under flipping 1 1/2 rotation and kicking the board around fs 360 with both feet. By far the craziest trick I have ever done.

I did, and maybe. I tried it a couple more times but could only get sigma flip fs body varial, I guess? It was just like a sigma flip, but as I did the anti casper flip I just spun my body at the same time. The hardest part to recreate would be the 1 1/2 underflip. What I found was most important for sigmas is to not over think it or try too hard. I just practiced varial half to anti casper a whole bunch gradually catching it higher each time, and it just came together naturally. It feels super slow so I always wanted to flip it super fast, but it just doesn't work that way (for me anyway).

I got a fs nollie big spin to bs boardslide today. it took me like an hour and a half and I had to come at it at a pretty hard angle, haha.

That woulda been fairly awesome had you landed it both feet.

I was working on getting my varial heelflips consistent today. I did about five of them in about 20 minutes so they're getting better.

I've changed my status for the first time in a while.  I realized the "Skating Twice a Week Now" wasn't really accurate anymore.  We've had so many blizzards this winter up here (NY) and it's really unusual.  I'm actually home from work right now, the snow shut down our office.  Our office was closed about 2 weeks ago too!

Not really a new trick, but it can lead to new tricks:
Anyone here ever play with skate dice?  Good stuff.  Forces you to try random ass tricks, ranging from a simple ollie to something like, Switch F/S Big Spin Hardflip.  Just played for the first time with some buds yesterday, first to land 10 tricks wins.
I wanna add a new dice though, with late flips and underflip and body varials.  Haha

Was trying a new Rodney-style trick yesterday.  B/S Pivot to Fakie Big Spin.  Roll regular and do a B/S powerslide pivot, then before you touch down with the two wheels, do a Fakie Big Spin.  Landed once with one foot, landed both feet another time but was 90 degrees short.

You should try one of my favorite mess around tricks, a bs 180 pivot (so like a back 3 that's pivoted 180) but keep the manny and do a shove it then land in a little nose wheelie and pivot that bs. It's a really fun trick and feel pretty good.
