On a hot morning I went to dog park around 10am. I was still worn out from the trip to Nebraska and driving yesterday. I had given in to an obsession to put the 6.1 axles on. I quickly determined it was a dumb move. But I still skated for a couple hours. The new barrier is cool, but still hard to skate. The cinder block ledges being bolted in rules. I was mostly all over the place. Tried to string two tricks together on the cinder block ledges, but didn’t really get anything worthy. I took a bit to get a line of wallie over wallys world, ollie a parking block, front 50 the cinder block ledge. My achilles has been acting up the last few days. I’m not sure why, but it makes pushing not so fun. Also took a bit to get a line of switch front nose then metal bench then halfcab boardslide the little flat bar. I made myself manual and back 50 the little ledge. Not the best session, but was happy to skate.
