Feeling pretty wiped out Sean talked me into dog park as there was some cloud cover.  I had new shoes, NB# Foy 306.  They felt weird.  Partly because I put too thin of an insole in them.  I struggled with everything, even kickflips.  Sean had been doing his typical lines.  I had tried a line of manual, crook, front smith the new black box for awhile.  Sean had ollied the new hydrant and done the pole jam when I shouted out heelflip manual.  This turned into a manual session on the little guy.  Except that I couldn’t kickflip in to save my life.  It was so frustrating.  Sean would go on to learn halfcab noseslide, heelflip manual, heelflip back 50 and fakie back nosegrind.  Four new tricks in one day.  So insane.  My only redeeming trick was a front smith even though I didn’t really grind it.  Oh, and I also did a funny kickflip up the manny pad once where I used my hands to hold myself up.  Actually that’s more depressing than I thought.
