can i skate?

reality of my surroundings

July 7th, 2007

today I got in about an hour and a half before the heat was unbearable. It’s like 97 degrees here today. Yuck. Anyway I spent a good amount of time just riding around, doing manuals, riding fakie and doing 180 turns, and practicing ollies. I even pulled a few really good ones that popped and floated and … they were great. I was focusing more on my footwork and it was working. The bad thing is that I can still only do it about 10% of the time. Not just ollie, but focus and pay attention to what I’m doing. The other 90% of the time I totally whiff it. Well, at least the 10% is more than the 5% I was doing a couple weeks ago. so… progress is happening. And it is slow because I only devote a few hours a week. I need to do more. I will do more.
