On a really hot day I went to meet Will at dog park. I arrived first. I avoided Valmont because the shade from the structure was essential and cooled things down a little. I felt very off, not motivated for a while. Will showed and we played a game of SKATE to get warmed up. It was a pretty long one without a ton of flippers and he one on a fakie front 360 which I kind of just gave up on since I needed water. Will shredded the ledges after that then had to leave. I got into a mode of trying really for for a bit. Going south I tried a million kickflip back 50s on the lurb. I got into a couple, rode on top, but never actually did the trick. Going the other way I tried a bunch of nollie tres or other flippers, most of which I did not land. Hated the lows, felt like they had zero pop and were heavy.

(pain level 5/10 hadn’t done a good job of exercising throughout the day)

Finally emerging from a heat comatose shortly before sunset I ended up at Douglass with yet another dumb setup change (ace lows). It felt good at the time though, I hucked around pretty good although it did take me like 8 tries to get a kickflip initially. I couldn’t get a halfcab flip in one of the warm up lines either. But I did end up getting a few flippers including heelflip and treflip which are rare these days. Crooks was tough. Front axle stall even harder. Couldn’t quite get a front 50. Once it got dark I intended to skate more, but ended up just driving around then going home.

(pain level 3/10 I guess sleeping a lot is good for the body)
