Really stoked I landed 3-4 FS Flips yesterday. Even got one in the hail to close my sesh.
I was always in the mindset of "this trick is never gonna work, so don't even bother" and didn't try them for years. Then I read a tip on here - something about flicking out at a full 90 degrees (3 o'clock for goofy, 9 o'clock for regs) really clicked for me.
The flip and board rotation all of the sudden made sense, and then it was just a matter of figuring out how to get my feet around and land (still working on getting this part dialed). This trick feels really fucking good.
Other than that, I was doing some 'kiss the ledge' style bonk tricks. Nose bonk, fakie nose bonk, crook bonk, whatever. Got a FS 180 over the block.

After work, the local DIY crew is having a session at our latest build at the foundation spot - a euro gap up the stage, some curb slugs, and a shotgun spine. There's a low ledge, a funky pump bump/parking block monstrosity and some boxes/rails already there.
You already know I'm about to bunt the fuck out of FS flip up the euro
