Yea its called being delusional, and temporarily forgetting bad habits. Everyone skates better after a week off, then all the pussy shit and the added difficulty of unforseen factors come into play and you can easily slip back into old habits, coming up with excuses as to why you can't do it. I have a tiny list of tricks at my local park, that I thought about constantly when I was travelling for 4 months. That was 4 years ago, still haven't done one and I probably never will.
Truthfully though I'm stoked that ^will be posting less once he starts skating again.
