skate journal: broomfield park solo (sept 5, 2015 day 240)

Went to Broomfield park while India was in ballet. Had about 2 hours to skate. It was sunny and hot. I was feeling better for awhile and was finally able to ollie without groin pain. It took awhile though. Warming up on the quartapotty wasn’t great. Blue ledge stuff wasn’t all that either. I guess I shouldn’t have expected much since I really haven’t ollied much in awhile. I had a run of boardslide the tiny down rail then back 50 the ledge. Also a run of f/s flip on the hump up top then front 50 shove the black ledge. I wasn’t able to get a crooks on the black ledge. Or a front 5-0. Had a good feeling nollie tre on flat. Other flatground felt alright. Tried to do backside nosegrind on the blue ledge for awhile, but only had a couple that were remotely close to locking in. I started to get really sore by the end.

Later that evening I tried nollie heels and nollie flips in my garage. I would commit to nollie heels every try, but they would only flip half way. I landed on another nollie flip with hands on the ground. Still hyped that I’ve made a little progress with that trick.
