Had to work a bunch in the morning. While I was working I did my PT and Ming Method exercises. My legs felt good. I went to the research ledge. I waxed it up, then went up to do a warm up noseslide and two other skaters rolled around the corner and dropped their backpacks down to have a session. Ugh. Nothing against other dudes skating, but I just wanted to be by myself and relearn some tricks. It worked out though because I guess it had me skating a little faster or something. I got boardslide pop out, noseslide, noseslide to fakie real quick. I got a few crooks, but none were clean, I fell into noseslide at the end. Those dudes were pretty good. One dude was the fakie dude. He did halfcab noseslide and fakie 50. The other dude was the loud guy. He did back 50 and cheered really loud. It cracked me up. He was cool though, nice to talk to. When he got the switch front 50 the world knew about it. Ha. They ended up leaving after awhile. I stuck with it for awhile longer. Got a back 50. I had tried some flippers. Got a few good halfcab flips, varial flip, didn’t get much more and couldn’t get a treflip, but it was the longest I was able to do ollies/flippers in awhile and it felt great.

I got tired, but wan’t too sore so I went to Stonehenge. My legs were really sore when I started. It took a few tries to even ollie into a back 50. But I did. Front pivot felt cool. Then I tried kick back axle stall for an hour and never got one. Ugh. I only got close a few times. Still, it felt good to finally skate hard and last longer than an hour.
