Still fighting the funk I went out to the garage during the “bomb cyclone”. I kept it mellow always resting a bit between tries. I started out with a nosemanual 360 on a somewhat slanted sheet of wood. Then started trying flip tricks. Mostly started with kickflips and a fakie flip. Then altered between treflip and nollie flip. I was close to both, actually committing to nollie flips and the board wasn’t quite flipping enough. It took me forever to land a treflip and when I finally did it was one of those bad-both-heels-on-the-ground makes, but I count those in the garage. Skating seemed to make me feel much better. Hopefully I kick the sickness for good soon.

After another day of working from home while being sick/pinkeye I woke up from a long nap then went across the street on a warm day. I was really out of it and skating in glasses is weird. I went through a long stretch of total suck. I finally got a line of front 5-0, manual around the light pole then backside flip up the curb. That felt really cool. Going the other way I was trying f/s halfcab flip, nollie back tail, back 50. But I had new shoes (379s again – black) and something about the new shoe/old grip and I kept sliding off on the nollie back tail. Argh. When I bailed I would try kick back tail. This is around when a crew of high school kid showed up and brought a ledge. They put it in the worst possible place, but it was still cool. I had nearly hit my hour limit (trying not to make myself more sick) so I didn’t get anything more than a terrible crooks and some accidental noseslides. I had also struggled with treflip on flat. Landed on a bunch, but never rode away. I also bailed front 5-0s a lot getting wheelbite on the way out. So annoying. I don’t know how people skate big wheels. I guess I like loose trucks too much.
