Okay, so I saw this challenge online about hitting 150,000 trick points, and I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, I’m no pro, but I like messing around and seeing what I can pull off. So, here’s how it went down.
First, I picked out a spot with a bunch of different features. You know, rails, ramps, ledges – the whole nine yards. I figured having a variety would give me more options to rack up those points.
I started off easy, just getting a feel for the place. Some ollies, a few grinds on the smaller rails – nothing fancy. Just wanted to warm up and get my bearings, you know?
- Basic ollies to get the feel.
- Tried some 50-50 grinds on the low rail.
- A couple of kickflips, just to keep things loose.
Then, I started to amp things up. I went for some bigger gaps, tried out a few flip tricks into grinds, and even attempted a couple of spins. It wasn’t always pretty, I’ll admit. There were definitely a few bails, but hey, that’s part of the process, right?
Building Up the Combo
The real key, I realized, was linking tricks together. It’s not just about doing one big trick, it’s about keeping the flow going. So, I focused on landing one trick and immediately setting up for the next. Like, a kickflip into a boardslide, then popping out into a manual, and finishing it off with a shove-it. Stuff like that.
I kept pushing myself, trying to find new lines and combinations. Experimented with different approaches, different speeds, different everything. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. But I was learning with every attempt, figuring out what worked and what didn’t.
The Final Push
After a while, I felt like I was getting close. I had a few solid runs under my belt, and I could feel the momentum building. I picked out a line that I thought had potential – a long rail, followed by a gap, then a ledge, and finally a quarterpipe. It was ambitious, but I was determined to make it happen.
I took a deep breath, visualized the run, and dropped in. The rail grind felt smooth, the gap was clean, and I landed perfectly on the ledge. I popped off the ledge, hit the quarterpipe, and threw in a final trick for good measure. When I landed, I knew I had done it.I checked the number and I have done it!
It wasn’t easy, I’ll tell you that. It took a lot of tries, a lot of falls, and a lot of sweat. But in the end, it was totally worth it. Hitting that 150,000 mark felt amazing, and it definitely motivated me to keep pushing my limits.
