Went out not feeling very good after some food poisoning the day before around sunset. I drove without much energy or desire to skate. I ended up at lower valmont at the little manny pad where you have to move the bike path. I had changed my shoes to tome old Foys with thin insoles. They felt weird and spongy and I had a pretty bad slam trying to ollie up the curb. I almost quit at that point, but I’m way too stubborn. I would take like 20 tries to get a manual, a couple tries to get nose manual. Then I tried a trick for Dave for a long time. Switch front 180 manual back 180 out. I couldn’t get the manual, but I did enjoy doing a lot of switch 180s and back 180s off. I tried a few flippers, but they weren’t really working. Then I went over to the new area nearby with the white rocks and basically just looked around and then went home.
