skate journal: back to pain at wilville (jan 24, 2021)
Went to Wilville around 11 on a cooler day. I could tell rather quickly that my body wasn’t feeling as limber as yesterday. I started at the round curb area. Did a few stalls then moved to a little 3 stair I had never ollied before. Did a line of nollie shove then ollie. Then as I was trying kickflip then 180 some randoms told me I couldn’t skate there because of a liability issue and “we live here”. Ha. Whatever. It helped me though and I did the kickflip and front 180 that try. I went over to the rock area. Did a couple wallrides on the center rock then tried a line. I got front 180 up the two stair, halfcab flip on flat, ollie the first 3, bail the second 3. Since I didn’t get both ollies I went for f/s halfcab flip in the line instead. I would get a really bad one and both ollies. I was gonna try and turn around and ollie up the 3, but I was pretty beat. I went to the main middle manny pad and tried a bunch of kickflips to fakie. It was disappointing how bad I was feeling ollieing up the curb before the bank. I would get one kickflip, but fell off when rolling off the curb. Doh. I tried awhile longer and didn’t get too close and started to get super angry and sore so I left.
