Went in front of the house on a nice morning. Pushed, did a few slides, nollie shoves and ride on grinds at the curb across the street.

Man. I met Dave at dog park. I first few pushes hurt, my first few ollies even more. My knees were absolutely killing me. I probably should not have skated, but it was super nice out and Dave drove all the way in to skate. Dave rode my putter for awhile as he’s determined to land a 360 flip (switch). Dave was in a lot of pain too. For a brief period I was getting into a little groove where I could actually do kickflips, fakie flips, 180s and pose other tricks. I literally did not land anything beyond that. I came somewhat close to switch flip. Tried a bunch of switch front heel. But for the most part again I just thought about how I can take some days off of skating soon. Dave tried a lot of switch tres (he still thinks it would be easier switch), skated my 3 iron and got a solid heelflip. That heelflip would stand as the most tech trick of the day. We both stopped with plenty of sunlight left. That’s when you know we were in a lot of pain.
