Another cold and snowy night. Went to the garage after work. I wore some old 306s because I wanted to see if I can wear them or need to order new 212s soon. They felt good with a thin insole. Warming up wasn’t as good as normal. I did get the first couple kickflips, moved on to fakie flip, halfcab flip, heelflip then treflip. I will blame the different shoes slightly for not being as grippy. But in no way completely to blame for the failing that ensued on treflips. The thing is I was committing right out of the gate. I thought I was gonna get them quick. Nope. I was so angry, yelling, throwing my board (in a manner that would not chip it). Some 40 tries in I grabbed the putter and got a treflip that try. After a few fails I went back to the 8.25 which wasn’t close. So back to the putter and I got the next two in a row. So basically around 55 tries to get my 3 treflip garage quota. I calmed down after landing them and stuck with the putter and did some hucking. Nollie heel (not close), switch b/s flip (not close but feels doable), nollie bigflip (I’ve landed a couple but it’s s o hard in this little space). I ended on a somewhat tolerable f/s flip. Then I went inside super angry and tried to mellow out and watch some basketball.

(setups 8.25 with 5.6 and 52mm wheels, 8″ with 5.0 lows and 50mm wheels, new balance numeric 306 navy/white size 12, thin sole tech insoles)
