The sun came out and the wet concrete dried quickly. Went to Platte because it normally dries quickly. In fact no part of the south side even had run off. I started at the manny pad. Normally I hate this manny pad due to the cracks, but today I liked it. Warming up was tough. I took some getting used to my setup change and 440s again. Felt good though. Got manual and nose manual pretty quick. May have gotten a line of halfcab flip then nose manual. Started going for nose manual shove and kick back tail. Never got the nose manual shove although was very close. Got a kick back tail which made me happy. Went over to the 3 stair. Ollied up, down and 180 down. The ollie up was not clean though. Then I skated the good flatground area for a while. Didn’t land much. Really struggled with heelflips and could not get one. Was really close to halfcab heel.
