After dinner and tennis with Liz and Ollie I headed out to the research ledge. I was wearing shorts, my first session in shorts of the year. Some years I don’t want anything to do with shorts, some years I’m all about them. Maybe this will be one of those years. It might have to do with hearing how vitamin d is good for soreness. Anyways, warming up was tougher then I thought it would be. I tried a line for awhile of front 180 up the curb, halfcab on flat, noseslide to fakie. Ended up just giving up on that line. I had told myself I had to do a 360 flip and a back 50 before I could lay into the crook grinds. I thought I might be stuck on them forever, but luckily I landed each horribly and was able to move on to crooks. I also got a bad front noseslide, front 50, halfcab noseslide. Hucked a lot of flippers, didn’t land anything rare other then 360 flip (which is surprisingly hard for me lately). Tried front crooks for awhile, couldn’t get posted up on them. Ended doing another back 50 that actually felt good and a crook that felt good too. I didn’t land a whole lot, but I did skate harder then I have in awhile and that felt good.
