skate journal: LES early again, this time not skating too good (july 29, 2015 day 204)
Didn’t sleep all that great, but still woke up early. I got ready to skate slowly. I wasn’t really feeling like going to LES it just seemed like the best option so I did it. Got there around 8am. It was hot already and there were quite a few dudes there already. I started off pretty good at least. Manual and nose manual the pad. Wallie manual the mellower banked ledge. Kickflips over the b/s hip, front smiths on the qp. Went into one of my slow skate no energy modes for a bit. Crooks a metal ledge, front slash the qp, try to kick back tail the curb. Couldn’t get into the kick back tail. Tried it in a different line with wallieing the bank on the back the tall ledge, but still didn’t get it. Started trying back 50s on the metal ledge and it felt really tall. Took awhile, before I got a couple slow ones. Tried to line it out with a halfcab flip over the hip, back 5-0 on the bank, but never got the back 50 too (but I did get into it at least). Also got fakie bigflip over the hip and once again took too long to b/s flip the hip. Added front 50 and hurricane to my qp tricks. Ended while trying noseslide 270 shoves one way and front 50 shove the other. But the front 50 wasn’t working and I just gave up and left to meet Liz and Ollie.
