Had some time before family festivities and went to campus on a cloudy but warm day. Was pretty sore. Was delighted to see Baker ledge was completely clear so I skated there most of the time. Warming up was pretty brutal, but since no one was around it was nice to work into things slowly. I kept not quite getting clean manuals, but would eventually get a line of manual, noseslide to fakie, fakie flip. Going the other way I did a few halfcab flips and got a couple of front 50s after. Like actual front 50s which I haven’t done there in what feels like years. They weren’t fast, but it’s been a long time since I did actual grinds there and it felt great. I hucked a lot of other flippers, but came up short. Came close to back 50, had some switch noseslides.

Went down to the bank to curb to try some front shove to back 50s. Would get kind of close, but never got both feet on it. Settled for an alley oop front 50. Had done a couple flippers like varial flip, b/s flip and fakie bigflip. Decent session for how tired and sore I was.
