After a nap and some nachos for dinner I skated in front of the house for awhile before meeting Jake at Meta at 8pm.  I skated faster and harder doing flatground then I have in awhile.  I did some of the fastest front shoves I’ve done and tried a couple lines.  Halfcab flip, 360 flip, heelflip.  Had too much problems with 3 flips to get it.  Front 180, f/s halfcab flip, nollie tre.  Never got that either.  I feel somewhat clumsy in the shoes I have now.  Not sure why since their vulcs, but either way I’ve struggled with treflips.Then I went up to Meta to meet Jake.  We wanted to go across campus to this other spot.  On the way there things weren’t feeling right on my skateboard and  I bailed a tiny ollie then later on ate shit trying to ollie a little crack gap ate shit.  Scraped up my knee, elbow, ankle and hip and pissed me off to no end.  I wanted to focus my board.  I didn’t though and we went to the tall red manny pad.  I had some more awkward slams trying to ollie up the taller side.  Ugh.  Neither of us quite got the manny from the shorter side.  Jake got an ollie up the taller side to chinese nollie off the shorter side.  I tried ollie up kickflip off, but never committed.  We went over to the long narrow manny pads area.  I ollied off the tall ledge.  Next we went to the double sided ledge.  I got a few boardslides and halfcab boardslide.  Neither of us got front board pop out.  Last up was near the red manny pad again where we did wallie back 50s.  It wasn’t waxed up too good, but we managed a few.  Jake tried to get one with a treflip and I tried to get a wallie nosegrind to fakie.  Jake never got the tre and and I never got the nosegrind, but I did whip around to fakie off the front truck and ride down the curb.  Fun.  Maybe with some wax it would nosegrind.  But my groin really started hurt again and we had had enough.  Not my favorite session, but that’s skateboarding.Lastly, it’s halfway through the year.  My goal of 300 days of skating is still realistic.  I’m at 155 with 184 days left in the year.  Some days it seems awesome, some days it seems daunting.  I missed 26 days in the first six months.  I can miss 39 days in the second half of the year and still get 300.  Yippee.
