After work I went across the street to the shaded alley for a short one.  But it would be much shorter than I had hoped.  Warming up did not go well. I tried a simple warm up run of pop shove then front pop shove and it took like 10 tries. Next the kickflip, no comply 180, fakie flip took forever.  I couldn’t halfcab flip either.  About the only saving grace was getting a few backside flips.  I almost rolled my ankle on a varial heel.  Got a huge flat spot back 180’ing the manhole.  Then I’m not even sure which trick, but I focused my board before I even knew what I was doing.  I didn’t even get angry.  I just sat down and looked at my phone for awhile before walking home.  I really wanted to like those orange/blue wheels, but they are huge and I think the massive flat spot will be enough to get rid of them.
