Trying not to nap after work, but not wanting to hit bank park I went to the side of the school to skate flatground.  I wore the Westgates.  They are weird.  But I got into a groove of trying a line.  Little ollie to fakie on the mini bank by the shed, halfcab flip, b/s flip.  For awhile I hit every backside flip, and then they straight up disappeared. Ugh.  I didn’t land much.  Got a bad treflip, heelflip, b/s flip, hucked some random filippers, cracked my tail on a heelflip then finished it off after bailing another halfcab flip.

Then after dinner I met Saul at the curb right as the sprinkler turned on.  Argh.  I had setup a new board.  This time I wore arch support to try and reduce knee pain.  It kinda helped, but felt dangerously high.  I did not skate well.  I was like 2/20 on regular slappys and never got a good frontside one.  Saul on the other hand was playing with slappy front nosegrind.  He kinda popped outta one, but the wheels bonked the curb.  So sick though.  He had some long backside too, but not his longest.  I was hucking flippers.  Switch flip felt close, almost got a treflip, almost fakie 3 shove.  I did have some good feeling slappy crooks both front and back at least.  Saul was trying some kickflips.  He’s got a good flick, it’ll come.
