On a sunny and warmer day (yes we hit the point in winter when 43 feels pretty nice) I went to campus with no plans. I started with a few slappy crooks then quickly moved on to the ledge. I did a slow flip trick then a slow ledge trick to warm up. My favorite was varial flip and then nose jib 270. I was happy with how easily I got into and landed the front 50 since it was such a losing battle last time. The switch nose jib shove was super fun too and even in a line with a fakie flip. My legs felt less sore than they have lately, but didn’t have much juice.

I moved on. Took a bit to ollie up a two stair, ollied a longish two stair. Front 50’d the little one stair ledge. Ended up at the bank to curb, did a back 50 and a couple slappy crooks. I was really sore at this point. Tried to crooks the statue ledge, but it stuck. Then went to the mellow bank and took a few tries to get a no comply shove to fakie. Argh. Then did shoves, kickflips and tried bigflip for awhile. But I couldn’t get it so I tried treflips. And I really couldn’t get a treflip to save my life. It was pretty frustrating. The skate/walk back to the car was sore and slow.
