Another warm morning before work I had the dog park to myself. I felt good physically, but mentally I couldn’t really get into it. I wanted to try back 50s. I got a few on the tiny ledge. I started on a line and kinda changed it as I got further or did a trick. At one point I did back 50 the tiny pad, front 180 off the kicker, halfcab boardslide the small flat bar, then bailed crooks on a bench. I couldn’t get back 50 on the low step. I kept focusing on how the trucks are narrower than the board. Such a lame thing to focus on. Kickflips still felt good. I tried a few more flippers, but didn’t land them. Struggled with front 50 on the benches, but got a bad 180 out. I tried to ollie the cone off the kicker a couple times, it seemed possible, but way taller than the barrier. I left after some fails to get a fakie 5-0 on a concrete bench. I felt bummed on my lack of effort, but at the same time still in love with the dog park and hyped on how much I’m ollieing these days.
