On a coolish night I went to campus feeling tired. I was hoping skating would change that. I started with a few dorky whatever nose jibs then got a slappy crook or two and moved on. I tried some kickflips on flat as I rolled ..

.. to this spot. I tried to do a bunch of flippers here, but I had almost none. The STFs did feel fast compared to the old Spitfires so that was weirding me out because I was trying to skate as slow as possible. Man I have no confidence these days. Almost no drive either. It’s like as soon as I can tell my legs aren’t up for it I just give up. I used to have more drive to get through it though. Anyway, I got shoves, kickflip (which took awhile ugh), fakie flip, halfcab flip. Tried 360 flips for awhile and came up empty handed. I landed on a couple. I also posed some switch front heels which were flipping, I just don’t know how to get my feet back on the board. I also did a few stall tricks on the first stair. Then I moved into campus a little more. I was near the hill tunnel, but just kind of gave up on skating. I really don’t like 8″ high ventures.
