I work the late shift this week and since I woke up early I was at the dog park shortly after 7 with a couple hours to skate. I had the park to myself almost the entire time until the end when a young kid with a Null board worked on front 50s. I struggled to wake up and get it going. For the most part it was another strugglefest. But there were a few highlights. I snapped several ollies over the wallys world. One of which was easily one of my best flatground ollies. I managed a fakie 50 on the cinder block shuffle. Had a few over the corner back 50s on the low obstacles. Manualled the weird black low pad. But I really struggled at frontside 50s again, the narrower trucks really seem to mess with that. Flatground wasn’t good either. I barely got a halfcab flip and took like 10 tries to get a heelflip, couldn’t get a treflip. The 440s felt like big stiff boots this time.
