skate journal: research mostly flatground frustrations (sept 27, 2021)

On a nice night I went to the newer research area with the perfect knobbed wood benches.  To my delight it was lit very well and the lab was closed so no one watching me through the windows.  I felt odd on my skateboard, very odd.  It took awhile before I could even land a kickflip.  I felt like a total beginner.  I would manage a few slow tricks like fakie flip, halfcab flip and a fun f/s halfcab flip.  But never got to treflip, heelflips were not close.  I managed a couple ollies up onto the bench.  I got tired after an hourish and went home quite depressed on how little confidence and skill I have anymore.
