skate journal: research ledge feeling tired (jan 28, 2016 day 28)

oh this ledge again.  boulder.  colorado.

Not feeling very well after a late nap I headed to research center feeling tired and out of it. I started off pushing up the hill, rolled down the long stairs a couple of times and then pushed down the hill going fast and doing powerslides. I had a new deck since I had cracked mine so bad the day before. The funny thing is I kind of cracked the tail on my first ollie up the curb. Ha. Not enough to even show, but it made me laugh. I don’t really like brand new decks. I like brand new grip though. I laid into some noseslides for awhile, took a long time to get crooks (mostly because I was scared of how fast I was going), couldn’t get a front noseslide, got one really bad back 50, hucked flippers that I couldn’t land, couldn’t front 50, got a halfcab noseslide quicker then normal, posed halfcab crooks and front crooks. Left tired. Bummed on how little I landed, but happy I went a little faster then normal. I had put some venom bushings in since the bones bushings had blown out a little and were kind of bumming me out.
