Feeling somewhat unmotivated on my last day of working lates I ended up biking to Boulder park on a nice cool smokey morning.  There were a couple kids already there learning how to skate.  They were nice.  I carved around the old section a couple times then went into the warmup line of back 50, rock fakie, fakie front 50.  It didn’t take too long.  Then I mostly stuck to the new stuff sucking.  My achilles was acting up fierce again.  Ugh, I tried to push without lowering my heel at all and it kind of seemed to help.  I took 4 tries, 4 TRIES! to land a switch front nose on the little bench.  I tried Dave’s latest challenge to me over the micro hip – nollie bigspin revert.  I got one in a few tries that was mostly a miracle.  So then I set the phone up to document and of course couldn’t get the same results.  I did have some fun crooks on the bench to start the run out.  After that I attempted a few things, but was feeling so bad I ended up just leaving.
