Went out to the garage with the goal of all four varial flips. I had my quiver ready to go. 8.25, 8.5 and 8.75. I started with the 8.75, but after failing at some fakie flips I moved down to 8.5 and stayed there most of the session. Varial flip and fakie varial flip happened somewhat quickly. The nollie version started flipping right away, but I would never actually land it. It was so frustrating. I tried for about 45 minutes and just could not do it. I tried the 8.25 but got no closer. I partially blame the bushings for being too tight. My bones had broken so I went with stock Ventures and they felt too tight. I never got too upset and left peacefully when the Swervedriver Raise cassette ended.

(setup 8.5 null collage deck, venture 5.8 trucks cast baseplate with titanium hanger, stock bushings, 52mm bones easy street v5 wheels, new balance numeric 288s black jack curtain size 11.5, no insoles, incrediwear knee sleeve)
(pain level 3/10 but I didn’t have much pop)
