I knew it was going to be a tough day when I went to warm up doing jump rope at home and could barely jump. Still I went skating though. I was gonna try the research ledge, but it was sprinkling so I went back to the Engineering area. I tried a “warm up” line of kickflip, boardslide the bench, back 50 the 3 stair ledge. The back 50 took a long time and everything was hard. Then I tried a harder line of pop shove the little crack gap, noseslide to fakie the bench, halfcab flip on flat, front 50 the narrow ledge by the rail, kickflip into the next bank, and then a dream of doing b/s flip up the sideways curb. It took me for ever. I mean like over an hour. I would try nollie flips or 360 flips on flat. Landed a couple 360 flips very poorly. Got the line eventually without the b/s flip. It felt kinda neat. THen I tried to ollie up the 3 stair a few times and almost died so I left for home feeling very depressed about skateboarding.
