Up pretty early went to dog park and attempted to relearn skateboarding. I had changed trucks to ace lows for some ridiculous reason. They felt amazing for about 5 minutes. Then, not very amazing. After some putzing around my first warm up line was front 50 the curb, 1mph kickflip, nollie back tail the little ledge. Next line was ollie onto the c ledge, front 180 off, terrible halfcab noseslide jib, back 50 the curb, b/s 90 flip on flat. I tried to ollie the little cone thing, but couldn’t commit to it. That was the start of me losing motivation to skate. Partly my body and lack of confidence, partly the setup. But I did a few more things, nothing really of note. The only good part was that my body didn’t hurt a ton after skating. Hopefully I’ll be able to really try again soon.

Went to dog park on a warm night after work and met up with Jack and Kevin. We all got there around the same time. My legs kind of worked, but not really. I never really ollied and flip tricks were a struggle. The only trick I did I was somewhat hyped no was switch noseslide shove. Kevin had a couple primo slams right away, but still shredded it. The manual followed by kick back tail was hot. Jack casually did front tail front heel out over the two step, a bunch of bluntslides and maybe a noseslide nollie heel out. But then went on to work hard for a back tail backside flip out that was super incredible and my dumbass missed the clip. Kevin gets at least 1% of the blame on that. Ha ha. Seriously though, amazing Jack. Then Jack and I went to dinner and it was great chatting with him for a while.
