After a slow morning I had a little over an hour to skate on Liz’s bday so I bolted to the flagstone ledge spot on campus. I was wearing 440s in hopes of less knee pain. It may have helped. I skated slow, cautious, but also challenged myself a little. Like maybe a kickflip at 3.5mph instead of 3mph. Came close to f/s halfcab heels, somewhat close to switch varial flip, couldn’t get treflip or heelflip. Had the normal stuff backside. I ollied onto the ledge once with a little trick jib. I couldn’t get a front 50 but I did get both trucks kind of on there at the end. I had worn some slippery socks I normally try to avoid skating in. I think that added to some frustration. Anyway, I skated for a bit and it was in the streets so it felt kinda cool.
