Saturday 9:05 - 9:47 Skate E Spot (42 mins)

I didn't get time to write about my last skate sesh - but I bit the bullet and took Jonny's foot placement advice for kick flips. It feels so wrong and awkward to point my toe and kick my nose instead of the way that I learned back in the day. I really didn't think it was going to work - but it did! If this is the key - then it is on!!

So, today, I warmed up with some ollies and 180's. I did my first line a few times - but wasn't going all that well.

I then moved over to the wall to practice my foot placement for kick flips and tried to get the flip consistent. Then, I moved away from the wall and tried to roll and flip - I got a couple flipping. I am excited to get these rolling again - and the right way. Jonny says this is the key to all flip tricks off the nose.

It was nice to not be at school and to be out in the sun with my family this morning. We went back for a second sesh but there was a soccer game on. boo!

Friday 6 - 7:30am Bikram Cambie - Roxana

My right hip flexor is so sore!! I didn't do the first balancing head to knee where I have to lift the right leg AND I didn't do any triangles.

I did everything else awesome - and had a great class!!

Thursday 4:34 - 5:34 Skate E Spot (1H)

Wednesday 4:40 - 5:10 Skate E Spot (30 mins)

It was a rainy and gloomy day but when I got home from school the sun was starting to shine though and it was dry - so we went for a skate.

I worked on ollies to warm-up and then 180's. I then worked on my first line. I didn't practice kick flips but I want to start doing those every time. Maybe I will move those to the beginning of my sessions so I don't leave them out. My other main goal is getting those 180's fast and big.

It was nice to have a family skate after school. I miss Harbour though - I hope I get to go sometime this week… rainy day pro-d days and holidays .. are dance days I guess.

Tuesday 6 - 7:30am Bikram Cambie - Mari

Back to school routine in full effect. I was super sweaty after yoga in the car - I was thinking I might need to bring another t-shirt… but I dried by the time I got here. Gross.

I had a pretty good class. I didn't do the triangles. I am not going to aggravate either hip…

It was stupa hot during the balancing series but then it was fine.
