Met Dave at the Dog Park after work. He was already ripping when I got there. Shoves, kickflips, fakie bigs, etc. I felt better than yesterday and the warm up process wasn’t too bad. We tried a couple of three trick lines for awhile. The first was nollie back 180, fakie shove then switch front shove. We both started pretty bad bailing multiple fakie shoves. Dave came through first and got a good switch front shove. I eventually got it, but the switch front shove was terrible. I would like to work on that trick. Next three trick line was kickflip, nollie front big then fakie flip. Dave picked a bad time to struggle with kickflips. I came close, but kept messing up the fakie flip. My nollie bigs were basically just nollie shoves with a very late 180. I eventually started beginning of the line with heelflips and Dave did too. I got a few. Then we played with 360 flips for awhile and other tricks. I got a really sketchy hand down 3 flip and then a less sketchy hand down version. Dave was pretty close for awhile. Then he started doing backside bigspins. He struggled a bit, but ended up getting some good ones. Dave had to leave. I tried nollie flips for awhile which felt doable, but I ended up feeling tired and wanting to head home. I had changed insoles a couple of times. I started with the spenco/fp 5mm, but that is so thick. Then some Remind which felt really good, but maybe a little too small. Then Spenco/thin Adidas. It doesn’t seem like any of them are perfect. All help my knees, but I don’t think I will ever get rid of my Plantar Fasciitis. Argh.
