After a bad night of sleep I was woken up by Liz’s alarm as she slept through it. So I got up and since I had some free time before work I went to skate. I started at valmont and wasn’t really feeling it so much and thinking that “uh oh I’m not going to like this setup”. But I went over to dog park and liked it a lot there. I had some decent warm up lines and then would chill a bit in between and catch my breath. I really started liking my setup doing a simple front 180 over a parking block, it felt so right. Fakie flip and halfcab flip after didn’t come easy though and I bashed my knee real good with my board once. Argh. But some things came so much easier than normal like front 50 180 on the taller pad, manual the low pad, halfcab noseslides. Crooks didn’t feel good though. I had a fun front 50 back 180 out (it was a flop out, but it was first try and made me smile). Fun run of accidental front 5-0, crooks, back 50, b/s flip. Near the end I was trying nose manual then front 50 the bench, but I kept not quite getting the nose manual. I was super close to some treflips, but ran out of juice and needed to get to work.

(setup 8.5 null vhs deck, jessup ultragrip, thunder hollow lite 149 venom 88a bushings, 52mm snot pink/yellow swirl 101a, new balance numeric 440 white/red size 12 half insoles)
(pain level 4/10)
