I went out to Valmont feeling sore and unmotivated. Half of the lights weren’t on at the ledge and after running into it I moved across the street. I ended up starting out at this mellow bank spot. I would roll off the sidewalk doing a brief grind then try wallride to fakie. I got a couple. It was kind of fun and got me somewhat warmed up. I also did a couple nollie back 360s. I thought I was feeling better and moved up the lot. I was trying a line of pop shove off the the curb up top then manual around a couple of medians. I was hating my 8.25 and wishing I didn’t try the bigger board. I bailed a manual and my temper got the best of me and I shot my board forward as hard as I could .. right into a loading dock and the nose shattered. Ugh. Stupid temper, stupid big board too. I put the board out of it’s misery and went home.
