On a cold night I skated in the garage for about an hour. I struggled and I think I hit the all of a big setup. Argh. I couldn’t get a clean 360 flip or land a double flip. I came remotely close to nollie fs flip. Couldn’t get heelflip either. I wish my deck wasn’t so new so I could put a smaller one on.

(setup null 8.5 perception deck, 5.8 venture black icon trucks, doh doh bushings (yellow top, blue bottom) bushings, 2 washers inside each axle, spitfire f4 radial blue/yellow swirl 52mm 99a wheels, new balance numeric 212 black/white size 11.5, stock insoles)

Late on a cold Sunday afternoon I brought the master DVD in to Mike’s got get duplicated then felt like hitting my favorite slappy crooks curb. Jack and Carleigh were gonna meet me in awhile. I started with slappy crooks of course. So fun. Although I couldn’t get slappy front crooks. I was having fun lining out things, then got side tracked for a bit trying to ollie over the parking block onto the median and then over the next parking block. It was an embarrassing display of no ollie skills, but I stuck with it and did it. I’m trying not to shy away from ollies I should be able to do anymore. Then I stated trying a line for awhile. Manual the median, slappy crook, no comply 180, switch front nose the curbba. It took awhile and Jack and Carleigh had arrived, but I did it. Jack no complied then no comply flipped the median. Carleigh no complied it too, then did a little ride on back tail on the median curb cut. Jack went on a rampage. Kickflips over the median, pop shoves over it, sketchy rideaways. Then we moved into the campus a little. We looked at the parking block to 2 stair, but it had a car. We looked at a couple other spots. Ended up at a new loading dock thing. Jack nose manual shoved it quick. Carleigh and I ollied up. Well, Carleigh did and made it off. I kept hanging up. Jack did a crazy hop to boardjib hippy hop. We hit a dorky ledge for a minute. Carleigh and I ollied the 3 stair by it. Then we hit the ledge in the photo/clip. Jack did front 5-0 somehow (that doesn’t grind) then front tail fs flip out. Whoa! Carleigh had some steezy boardslides. I got into 50, but blame the ledge for not landing it, then did the switch nose jib shove in a few tries. Fun day cruising with no plans to film anything.
