I had a great time finally meeting up with fellow skateboarding youtuber, Warren Leeds
He is a bit of a tutorial master and he taught me a fun new trick - the step-off underflip.

day 30
(Ledge/Rail – Trick out)
Backside nose stall shove it out

It’s no secret that ledge/rail has exposed me this month. I’m considering renaming the channel to Regression Skateboarding – but I guess that I’d have to have been any good in the first place for that to make sense 🤣!

I did try and shove it out of a nose stall (I can’t really call it a noseslide) earlier in the month but failed. So, in fact I’m super pleased to have come back and got it on the final day. Maybe I am progressing after all?

Thanks for taking the time to watch, read and support me during . It means a lot and I really appreciate all of you skate champions out there!

day 29
(Transition – 360)
Fakie body varial, rock and roll out

The fakie body varial is a 180-degree rotation, and the rock and roll is another 180-degree rotation… Therefore, this inspired mini ramp combo is my mind tingling 360-degree trick for day 29.

Honestly, leaping from fakie stance into the body varial was the s*x and drugs of this trick. The rest was just rock n roll.

(Flatground – 360)
Fakie big spin

Put together a fakie 360 shove it and a 180 body varial and you’ll find yourself with a fakie big spin.

This trick isn’t new for me. But the number of attempts it took to get this mighty close toe drag version would make you think otherwise lol

That’s what is all about though, right? Trying a trick once a year so you can neglect it for another twelve months... I’m sure there’s a lesson here for me.

*I knew I didn't toe drag, I just wanted an excuse to show of my off my skateboarding battle wounds. aka my scabby knee 🛹🩹

(Ledge/Rail – trick in)
Frontside 180 ollie to fakie 5050

To give myself any chance with a trick into a grind, I had to default to my most comfortable flatground trick – the frontside 180 ollie. It paid dividends with this one where I was able to lock my rear truck into the ledge and shimmy my front truck on shortly after. All that was needed for the rollaway was that pivot – executed with as much finesse as a giraffe with its shoelaces tied together.

*Australian giraffes wear laced up shoes to trek the harsh outback between the months of November and February. **There are no giraffes in the Australian outback. ***But if there were, they'd definitely wear converse high tops. ****I wonder if anyone reads this far down?

Fakie shove it disaster

I’m running a bit behind on my uploads and have some family commitments towards the end of , so I went out and smashed all remaining tricks today. It was hectic!

This fakie shove is a fun option when approaching the transition in your unnatural stance. It takes minimum effort and requires little to no pop, and you get to come back in regular. I’m pretty stoked with this one because I snuck it in just before the rain.

(Flatground – 180)
Varial kickflip

Skateboarding is a lot like life sometimes; you can throw everything you have at reaching a goal, but occasionally things don’t go your way. It’s times like this that you just need to take the loss, shake it off, and come back another day with your learning and renewed determination.

While I couldn’t demonstrate this one today, the varial kickflip is a neat trick that combines the backside pop shove it and the kickflip. For some reason it isn’t overly well regarded in the skateboarding community, but I’m a bit of a fan… well, when I land it!

Backside boardslide

I love skating with friends. Especially when they get as hyped as my bro, Micheil 👍

I landed a boardslide like this a few years ago but have not tried it since! Luckily, this refurbished round flatbar is the perfect height to relearn on. It’s days like today that I’m really glad I introduced the ledge/rail section to .

day 23
(Transition – Slide)
Boardslide to fakie

Get down low and go, go, go! While fun, I still have some more work to do with this one. It’s a natural progression trick after the rock to fakie (one of my favourite tricks), but I still struggle to get a good amount of distance on the slide.
