Initially warming up went pretty well, before flip tricks started.  I got the first two kickflips, but then struggled with them until I got my 5 in a row.  Fakie flip came quick.  Then I tried switch flips which I committed to, but was not close.  Nollie flips next and I was really thinking I might land one.  But nope.  Did b/s flip and halfcab flip next.  Then heelflips which took a long time and I started to get angry, but the one I got felt really good.  Tried some switch heels. I actually committed to some, but they only half flipped.  Switch f/s flips were next, only a couple of which actually flipped around, but no commits.  I ran out of excuses to try treflips so I went for it.  It took about 20 tries to get one, but I went on to get a couple more.  One of which felt pretty good.  After that I did halfcab heel and hucked fakie inward big heels.  Ha, I don’t know why, but that trick seems doable.  I wasn’t close.  Fun little session.  Mostly because I landed some treflips.  Oh yeah, I was on my smaller 8.25 setup and I really liked it.
