skate journal: achy and sore safeway ledge mellowness (oct 19, 2015 day 280!)
Went to Safeway after bringing India to her nearby ballet class on a gorgeous evening. I was feeling like crap though. Achy from fighting a cold and my shoulder is not good yet. I started with various no-ollie noseslides. Even pushing hurt. I would get to “nollie” front tails and they felt better then ever. I did quite a few to forward and a few to fakie. Both felt great. I mustered up the strength to ollie into 50s and 5-0s. Tried a few nollie heelflips. Ended trying front lips one way and back tails the other. Didn’t get anywhere near close to back tails, but did get a front lip. I had a few front lips that slid out and went to fakie, it was much harder to keep it steady and land straight. So I was happy to get at least one. I ended the session on a crooks on the fence ledge and I felt better then I did when I started skating.
