Man this is so good. There are almost no basic tricks. Makes me want to skate flatground!

Woke up early and felt like a morning dog park run so I went for it. I had done my first slappy shortly before 7am and someone else was already there. The two dudes with long hair showed up after. I need to learn their names because they rule. I had put the low trucks back on, but left the larger wheels. They felt so slow compared to STFs. I really struggled to get it going. I did nothing hard for me for the longest time. Then I kinda forced myself to skate flatground a little and it started to work out better. Even though I really only landed kickflip, fakie flip and b/s flip. I was not close to halfcab crook. I went in on the nosegrind 180 for awhile. Took about 10 minutes and it felt fun to really try it. After that I ended with a front 50 up/down the new a-frame ledge followed by kickflip over the parking block. I added a no comply 180 then halfcab noseslide and ended it with some happiness.

Had put high 5.2s on just because I thought the extra height may be nice. It wasn’t. Right out of the gate I hated it. I started at the meet up lot and missed a slappy crook, struggled with manuals and flip tricks. Granted I was super tired, but it felt wrong. I went to the flagstone ledge for what was supposed to be a short session to move on elsewhere. But nothing was working and my legs were toast so I went home.
