I was quite tired at work and I've been unsure if it's a good idea to go skating at 17:00. My work ends at 16:00 on tuesdays and then I had to go home, had to eat and directly go to Skatehalle-Berlin. I did so and it was a good decision. 3 persons in the FINTA slot and I could train and practice. In the last hour I had my highlights and one of them was that I started from the top of a quarter-pipe and with not too much speed, but still quit fast I rode up on a bank and jumped onto the curb on top with a barley-grind.

Barley-grind is: You have the curb on your backside (so behind your back) and with a front-side 180 you turn in the direction of the curb and you land in switch smith-grind.

I love this trick so much!! When I did my second or third the grind was so clear and good. I landed perfectly - fully balanced and locked in. The grind was fast a and I grinded until the end of the curb and ended with switch front-side 180 out. What a feeling!!
