After work went to campus, started at the dreadful tall flagstone ledge and ended up staying there for most of my session. The flatground in the nearby hallway is so good. I had another setup change that I liked quite a bit. 8.25 with slace 8.5 trucks. I would get quite a few slow flippers in between flails at the ledge. Flippers were kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, heelflip, f/s halfcab flip, f/s halfcab heelflip and a nollie tre! It’s seriously been years on the nollie tre! I was so hyped even if it was terrible and I put a hand down. It didn’t carry over to being able to front 50 the ledge though. I did ollie onto the ledge at least, had some noseslides, a couple crooks that felt good. Then to the nearby tiny rusted metal ledge to show I can 50 6″ tall ledges. Then around the corner to a dirty loading dock that I wanted to ollie onto. I saw a long piece of angle iron and decided I should line it out. Firecracker a 2, slappy the angle iron, ollie very badly up the loading dock, front 180 off it, almost fakie flip. My knees were sore so I called it.

(setup 6/10 8.25 null dead spots, jessup ultragrip, slace 8.5, bones 52mm v1 stf, new balance numeric 440v2 white size 11.5 wide with currex runpro insoles)
(pain level 4/10 some calf and knee pain)
