After a busy day of driving, cleaning and unboxing 2 tons of skateboards I needed a quick skate fix.  And since it’s my achilles that’s injured I didn’t want to push so I went to the “meetup curb” on campus.  It’s slightly downhill so I could just throw down and not push.  I wore some Lems Chillum shoes that I was hoping would be good for skating.  They felt okay, too slippery though.  Anyway, it felt incredible to roll on my skateboard.  I did a few slappy crooks and felt fine.  Did a couple crooks to fakie and followed by a couple switch ollies.  A no comply 180, posed a switch flip which didn’t hurt and got my flip trick juices flowing.  I did a couple test pushes which did not hurt at all, but I was definitely not comfortable with it.  I ended with a very satisfying slappy crook.

(setup 8.25 null glenosaur, jessup ultragrip, venture 5.8 cast baseplate titanium hanger, 92a doh doh big bushing venture little bushing no big washer, 50mm spitfire f4 99a classic shape, lems chillum navy size 12)
(pain level 2/10 slight achilles)
