Just got done with a 90 minute flatground sesh in front of my parent's house. I'm trying really hard to get kickflips down to consistency but I only landed a couple that were ugly, mobbed, and not caught at all. Plus I keep fucking destroying my shins to boot. On the plus side though I'm finally getting back 180s down.

A little bit of advice I can give you is to make sure your shoulders are squared up to the nose and tail, but more importantly concentrate on where your eyes and mind are focused. It's different for everyone but I like to focus on my back foot, not necessarily looking directly at it but emphasising my brain to it. Once I do this my front foot instinctively flicks and the lift/catch/compress and roll away all falls into place.
[close]

the shoulder part is spot on. your upper body shouldnt be moving at all and should be parallel with the board the whole time. i focus on my backfoot too, but i have to tell myself to only move it straight up after i pop because i tend to turn them backside. i also have to tell myself to jump STRAIGHT UP. not to the side, not with a spin, straight up. lift those legs and let it flip. the front foot is the easiest part of the trick, its not doing anything to fuck that flip up thats the hard part.

also, they're easier than you think. tell yourself that. tell yourself that you will land it and then land it. if you dont think you can, you wont. 
That's exactly what I mean about focusing on the back foot. Getting it up and out of the way is key. The rest just falls into place.
^this, and don't put your front foot on the edge of your board, more in the middle below the front bolts, and pop it like a ollie
This takes a little practice and I still angle the front foot more than an ollie. When your in the flow though you can get them a little more Wray. I also like a little flick down rather than out and up. The board still rises after the flick but is less likely to mob or rocket and you can hear the catch.

Went street skating today. Jacked my knee on some curb cut gap. I think I should see a doctor for this one.

I've been working for the family business since I was 15 and tomorrow at the age of 26 I'm finally gonna be working somewhere else. I'm excited but kinda nervous at the same time as well. I mean, I'm a really hard worker but I just hope I don't have too much trouble adjusting to my new job.

you're double digits soon. you called 15 by summer's end but we got that. go up 1 a wk, easy peasy.
we just gotta remember to look for scaffolding when we're out. boston is ill for pullups, spots everywhere.

Doing push ups really helps with your pull-ups. And don't cheat yourself, straighten your arms out completely on every rep.

 You and the D00D have turned this thread into a horrible head-on-collision between a short bus full of regular kids and a van full of paraplegics.

a pull up bar makes a little bit of difference vs doing em on scaffolding. i'm still cheating myself [like i knew i would] but halfassed albeit, i'm at 12 the real way, 11 the underhanded way and 11 the side arm way.
hash slasher lives in my neighborhood and has a pullup bar, i've got it in the last 2 days.
i wonder if weck has subliminally inspired everyone to get diesel?

currently stuck on a two-week holiday in Mexico with my schizophrenic ex. stoked on the holiday in Mexico part, not so much on the ex. long fucked-up story, no questions asked; now only hoping that I eventually make it through this tragic in one piece.

not stoked, she gets to pick. i want a puerto rican girl in her 20s or so who smokes newports and calls me papi.
she's going 'nah, i'm thinking more 50s white woman, pretty.'

I should come to the States, or really just go anywhere else than right here, right now. the situation is just unbearable; in addition to not being able to enjoy this otherwise more than welcome holiday for shit, I literally feel like killing myself multiple times a day. getting into this was so fucking stupid. self-destructive romantic my ass. if I make it out of this alive and sane, I'll be such a fucking warrior from then on.

idk, i guess it's halfassed calling my bluff cause she don't think i'm balls enough for a hooker [i'm always seeing them at my plaza and never get one] and halfassed jealousy is her kink.
and it's safe to be jealous of a sex act while not worried anyone will elope w/ a hooker.

I had an ex offer to rent me a hooker in Amsterdam but she was more into it than I was then got all pissy that I wasn't into it. Like a fool I said I'd be more into it if it wasn't a sex worker and that sent her stratospheric that I was seeing people behind her back and lining the next option up for when I dumped her, etc.

Whatever the motivation be careful. It's 4d chess out there.
