Went to Blue Skies on a lunch break from work. I had thought maybe I could skate through pain. I guess I kind of did, but it was an embarrassing struggle fest. Add in having to wear glasses, new shoes and a setup change it was ripe for struggles. I had some boardslides on the flatbar, one good feeling flatground bs flip, a few noseslides. As much of a struggle as it was, it was a nice break from work.

After work stopped at Valmont as Will had told me to meet up. It was kind of cold out so it limited the toddlers. Will was going in on nollies over the euro hip and would get a few eventually. I was feeling pretty out of it and sore, had glasses on too from an eye infection. I battled a very bad fakie varial flip on the bank, hucked some big heels on the bank which seemed possible. Will hucked some back heels too. Dave showed in his work fit and proceeded to rip as it got dark. We went over to dog park. I had a fun front 180 off the side of the grate to kind of quick switch noseslide on the green ledge. Other than that I got really frustrated trying to do the Dave trick on the bank to curb, switch nose stall revert the hard way. Dave ripped some back pivots on the bank to curb. I left as I was feeling wrecked. (turns out I had eaten gluten by accident and arthritis was starting to kick in).
