After last night’s brutal session a setup change was of course in order. I’m sure it has nothing to do with my lack of motivation. Anyway, I got out of work at decent time and biked over to Willville thinking I had limited time to skate. Dinner plans got canceled, but I still only skated a little over an hour and I was beat. I did skate hard. Basically just skated the mellow pad/ledge area. Would do a warm up line of halfcab noseslide, kickflip on flat, ollie onto the pad and ride back down to fakie. Was supposed to be an ollie to fakie or a shove or something cool. But it wasn’t. Did a couple flippers, front 50s, kind of a back 50. Tried to line out manual into the downhill, treflip, ledge trick. Never got the treflip. I kind of blame my setup change, but mostly the the completely bald and dead 600s I was skating. I also struggled with fakie bigflip and heelflips. Then started trying kickflips onto the pad with the slight intention of doing kickflip manual into the downhill. Only got a couple kickflips though and neither went into manual. I ran out of juice and called it a night.

Worked from home, was lazy and didn’t do exercises all day. Attempted to go skate near sunset and had nothing. Even the roll into campus I could tell things weren’t good. Started behind the UMC and said I had to do at least one okay line to move on to another spot. Well, didn’t go well. After some brief curb stalls I started in a line trying to front 180 up onto this flagstone ledge. Took me FOREVER. And when I finally got there I was rolling off a 2 stair to setup for a 3 stair and died on a crack. One of the more painful slams I’ve taken in a while. I shook it off, changed up the line a little. Ollie onto a different ledge, ride off, front smith stall a curb, ollie the 3. My ollie down the 3 was soooo bad. I went to the nearby downhill hallway ledge spot. Struggled with a couple noseslides and called it a wrap.

On the way into work I stopped at dog park for 35 minutes. It was a little cool out, but I had the park almost all to myself. I had an alright session. Had back 50 shove out on the curb, front 50 shove on the green ledge, some crooks, halfcab noseslide, maybe a couple flippers.
