skate journal: pain, soreness and sucking at blue skies (feb 22, 2016 day 53)
Went to Blue Skies for lunch feeling more sore then normal. I’m not really sure why. I tried to get warmed up and for a minute it seemed like I might. I did the best switch front noseslide I’ve done in awhile. That would probably be the only highlight though. I tried a line of ollie the low part of the dragon rail, front 50 up the escalator ledge, kickflip to fakie the bank, halfcab noseslide the little ledge. Never got the front 50. The first few felt decent, but it went all down hill after that. I did get close to a back 50 on the little ledge at one point. After awhile I just got more and more upset and depressed. I launched my board off a kicker or two and started walking away like I was going to leave my board there. I went back for it of course. What a tough day. Something in my body is not right, I need to figure it out.
