Yay ! 0°, NO WIND !!!

,
i got 30 min tonight, last minute and all. the wind died down and i was able to find a ski-mask at wallys so i decided i'd brave the now snowier terrain of my apartment's parking lot. The tennis court is now useless you see, covered with ice and snow... and so damn small. I'll use it in the future for learning new skills where flat terrain is needed, considering my apartment's lot is by no means flat. Until then, i will use my apartment's lot, along with a HUGE FLAT EMPTY lot that is empty, considering the lot's associated real estate is (and has been for some time) empty. Currently though, it is too snowy.

Anyhoo i did something like 2-300 feet or so. ON CRAP TERRAIN. I went fairly straight too, which was cool. Most of the time was spent trying to freemount though. No luck. I also tried the back-dismount a couple times, but when i fell on my ass for no other reason than the amount of ice on the ground, i decided that the dismount was not the thing to practice this time.

Sunday will almost certainly not be good for uni-ing, nor will monday. However, it looks as if the five days following will be. YAY. I hope to have landed the mount and the dismount to some degree of consistency by the time my christmas vacation is over. Holy cow man... this sport is so satisfying.

total practice time: 4.25 hrs
