After 10″ of snow the day before the sun was out, but it was only 17 degrees so nothing was melting. I went out to the garage before lunch and skated for a little over an hour. I had worked out pretty hard and my legs were sore from that and the session the day before. I wore vulcs, which somehow didn’t seem good this time. Anyway, went through random warmups before board flippage. Kickflips didn’t come as easy as yesterday, but I still managed 5 in a row once I got going. Sw flips were not close. Fakie flip quick, nollie flips were remotely close. Went for heelflip and for whatever reason I couldn’t do one. Rather than freak out I moved on. Got treflip 2nd try! And then another really bad one on try 10 so 2/10 is my best in a while. Managed to get a heelflip in a few tries after that. First try halfcab flip. B/s flip in a few tries. Randomly tried sex change which didn’t come as easy as I hoped. Added fakie bigflip, varial flip, really bad f/s halfcab flip. Couldn’t get nollie varial heel or switch varial flip. Tried halfcab heels at the end and was very close, but didn’t get one.

(setup 8/10 null 8.25 keyhole, null grip, slappy lights 8.25, spitfire f4 99a classic orange/black, new balance numeric 574 vulc grey/orange size 11.5 with half insole and currex runpro insole)
(pain level 3/10)
