Woke up in a bad mood. Wasn’t sure why at the time, but it turns out I was in the process of getting sick so it makes sense now. Anyways around 11 I took off with Ollie and his friend Gabriel to bring boards to Community and Crisis. We stopped at the old metal park on the way. It was an ok session. Ollie did a front 180 which I’ve never really seen him do before. He thinks back 180s are easier. Gabriel tried to do ollies. I haven’t skated tranny much at all lately and it showed. I felt weird even dropping in on the cement bank to start the day. Doh. I ended up having some fun though. Started trying a line where I would manual the fun box after riding up the kicker, axle stall the cement bank, then nose manual the box coming back. That felt pretty good. Also did a long flip trick run with lots of horribly landed tricks.

After the shops, lunch and a nap Mikey showed up and we went out to do some filming. We warmed up at St Julien. I had fun there and did a line I was kinda hyped on. Ollie a milk crate, crooks, turn around, front 5-0, 360 flip on flat. Neat. The wind was pretty intense so we didn’t get to filming there. We drove around and checked a lot of spots where I didn’t really skate and was definitely feeling weird. We ended up at the double set rail in Boulder that Jack did the boardslide to hurricane. Mikey wasn’t feeling that spot either. I wanted to ollie the flat gaps in the parking lot, but had some type of mental breakdown and it took a ton of tries. I got super upset. Ugh. In hindsight I probably should have realized I was starting to feel sick.
