Woke up super early and went to Boulder park before work because I knew I wouldn’t be able to skate after work. It was cloudy and nice out. I struggled for a bit as one would expect for being so early and having had a few glasses of wine the night before. But ended up having some positives and fun. I had a setup change of course, 8.25 with royals and it was fine. Took a bit to get a noseslide on the bench the kickflip to fakie on the hump. Struggled with kickflips, but b/s flip on flat felt good. Had some easy ollies up onto some of the ledges, but struggled from the bump for some reason. Got to a point where I mostly just skated the bench. Would get boardslide, noseslide, noseslide fakie, crooks, switch front nose, halfcab noseslide, front nose fakie, switch nose, front 50, accidental front 5-0, front 50 180 and front 50 shove. Felt good to get up on that bench without an insane amount of effort. I guess the recent ledge work might finally be paying off (probably jinxed myself). I had also tried some bigflips on the hump, most of which felt unlikely, some front 50s on the hump to ledge, some frontside nollies on the turn around bank up top. It was a pretty fun session, too bad I had to go to work.

(setup 5/10 8.25 null is all you need, jessup ultragrip, royal 144 hollow kingpin, 52mm spitfire f4 99a yellow classic shape, new balance numeric 440v2 white size 11.5 half 440v1 insole and currex runpro insole)
(pain level 4/10)
