Worked late and had such a frustrating day I didn’t feel like talking to anyone.  Watched a couple episodes of Leave It To Beaver with the family then felt like skating a manual pad.  On the way to Valmont I had all these one – two tricks in my head to do on the back to back manny pads.  When I got there I landed every warm up manny and I thought it was on.  Then a truck came and parked in front of one of the pads.  Doh.  I still tried a bunch of lines and pretty much never landed anything other then a manny and nose manny.  I tried a run to a nose manual 180 out.  Couldn’t even get that.  I tried a line to 180 nose manny.  Couldn’t get that either.  Ugh.  The saving grace was all the tricks I got up the various curbs there.  180s, sw front 180, kickflip, pop shove, fakie bigspin, heelflip and a very rare frontside halfcab.  I tried a few 3 flips up, but never got close.  I left bummed although I was happy with how hard I skated.  I just wish I would actually land tricks sometimes.
