After work went to dog park around 5. It was kind of hot out. I started with Will at the skatepark, but wasn’t really into it and went over to the plaza. But it turns out I wasn’t really feeling that either. Partly because I hadn’t had a chance to put together a new setup I really liked, partly because I was exhausted from a busy day at work, also from sitting so much and not getting exercises done at work. Rob was ripping though, he did a really good front nosegrind on the curb. Paul, Rob and I played a game of SKATE that was pretty fun and had some weird tricks in it like Flamingo. I couldn’t get a no comply finger flip. Ha. Paul ultimately won the game. I think that was about it.

Wasn’t feeling to motivated to skate but needed to bring boards to Square State. Brian had already left and there was no Silver Session so I had it all to myself. As soon as I started skating I felt off and hated my setup. I had a couple of warm up lines I liked though with some axle stalls the bank to curb followed by nollie tails on the little ledge. Then I went for a second warm up line which wasn’t supposed to take long, but it did. The one above. The kickflip took forever for reasons I do not understand. I would get about 4-5 kickflips before completing the line. I had done a couple flippers in between tries, but no where near as many as I had hoped. I struggled with halfcab flips which really bothered me. After that I tried to front 50 the upper part of a new little ledge. It took me a while to even get into it, then I got really close to grinding over the lower one before not being able to do it again. I had also gotten a cut on my shin from my razor/chipped tail so I put an end to that board and left frurstrated.
