After getting home from one of the busiest work weeks I’ve ever had I played soccer with Ollie for a bit then headed over to the research ledge. I waxed it up pretty good because last time I went there it was not grinding very good. A few warm up noseslides, a noseslide to fakie, boardslide pop out, first try crooks, second try back 50, 5th try halfcab noseslide had me feeling hyped. Flatground not so much once again. What the heck? I tried crooks to fakie for awhile and failed, then wanted to do back 50 back 180 out. Got close once, but that was it. I had to get going so I tried one last crooks and it was the best feeling crooks in awhile. Locked in and grinded for awhile. It felt amazing. Oh yeah, I had put a little riser on my board to help prevent wheel bite. I liked it.
