Skate journal: solo research center (March 29, 2015 day 85)
After a long day of chilling, getting a few things done and some soccer with Ollie I went to the research center with some new spitfire 50mms. I was still feeling really bummed from the day before. I sat and waxed the ledge then started with some slow noseslides. My legs weren’t totally dead and I wasn’t as bummed feeling. Then I went for a line of crooks, back 180 up the curb, switch front 180 up the next curb then Ollie the tiny gap. It took a few tries but I would get it. Barely. Next line attempt was back 50, pop shove up the curb, kickflip up the next curb, but never got the kickflip. I messed around with a few flippers too and was doing alright. I was happy to get several back 50s and a treflip that felt awesome. Frontside on the ledge I messed around trying front tails, back 180 nosegrind (not even close) and switch noseslide shove out (landed on it). I was gonna leave and feel somewhat redeemed, but instead I hit the little hill for some flippers. And surprisingly it went really well. Got fakie flip, hc flip, bs flip, Ollie up the curb, noseslide. Another line was fakie bigflip, pop shove, treflip (not bolts) Ollie up the curb, was gonna try crooks but a cop was driving by so I just cruised by. Then I left. Feeling better that I had some energy and coordination after such a tough day the day before.
