After work wasn’t feeling too motivated to skate so I played basketball with Ollie for a while. Which is probably the worst thing to do as it makes me more sore than anything. But it was really nice out and I felt like at least rolling around the school. I started on the side. The Splays really started to feel thin, frail. I had a smaller setup. It felt much better, but felt really dumb when I would land slappy crooks and my back foot was hanging off the board so much. Oh well. My lack of motivation and soreness from basketball really showed. Got an axle stall on the bigger rock in the back. Did a few slappies, a kickflip or two. Tried a line for a while of nollie or ollie on the weird shed bank, slappy crook, treflip. Got pretty close, but everytime I really committed to the tre it didn’t spin around enough. Argh.

(setup 6/10 8.25 null flaherty, pj ultragrip, indy 144 titanium 92a bushings, spitfire f4 99a classic orange/black 52mm, splay rev lt b/w size 12 footprint 5mm flat kingfoam insole)
(pain level 5/10)
