Feeling very arthritic I stubbornly went to Blue Skies for a lunch break session. Kind of the main point was to see if the supportive TJ shoes would help. They did. I skated terribly. Went through some motions and a lot of tricks were closest on first try then I would lose confidence. Like front 50 on the low ledge that always gives me trouble, got into it the first few tries, then lost it. Boardslides and noseslides on the flatbar was about the only thing that felt good. Some ollies and nollie 180s on the bank were okay.
