My shoulder was feeling a little better. Birthday girl India was at ballet and I couldn’t resist the urge to skate any longer so I went in front of the house. I actually felt decent. Some tricks like halfcab flip hurt my shoulder too much so I avoided them. I ended up trying nollie heels for about an hour straight. I got super close to several of them and feel like I made some sort of progress towards actually landing that trick.

Then I went to Southern Hills for a bit because I wanted a change of scenery. The stair was waxed up pretty good so I mostly skated that. I did some 50s both ways, front 5-0s then pretty much settled into a routine. Back 50, nollie heel attempt. Going frontside I was trying nosegrind shove out. I got close once or twice. Then I would try 360 flips. As I was skating a crew of parents and their middle school girls showed up waiting to get into the gym for a volleyball meet. It was super weird. I just kept skating anyway as they all watched me. And of course right as the guy came to unlock the gym door I decided to head home.
