Got out for a bit to skate on a warm day before graduation stuff would begin. I had switched setup again and did not like it. 8.3 with 149 thunders. After some warming up I started trying a line of switch front nose, halfcab flip, ollie onto the c ledge then shove off. Never got the shove. In fact ollies felt super weird and I don’t understand why. About the only thing that felt good were crooks on the metal bench. Until I start imagining shove out (the hard way) and then I couldn’t crook anymore. I did manage to finally 5-0 the cinder block ledge. It was supposed to be a 50 and it was incredibly slow, but it’s the first time since I hurt my achilles. So I may have been overall quite bummed, but that part did cheer me up.

(setup 8.3 null vhs, jessup ultragrip, thunder team hollow 149 venom 88a bushings, spitfire f4 99a classic shape 51mm, vans half cab maroon 11.5 nb# 272 insoles)
(pain level 3/10)
