Went to Willville in the afternoon on NYE. Did some warm ups. Somehow did a couple sketchy manuals into the bank right away. Then a warm up line of kickflip, nose manual (deck check), curve around then front 50. Then I went in on kickflip manuals. I was close, but not that close. Was also kind of close to nollie flips on flat, didn’t get treflips either. I started trying lines of front 50 then backside flip, but the ledge stopped grinding. So I hucked kick back tails for 30 minutes. Man it felt like I could have gotten it. Would like to get that one in 2026.

So there’s 2025. I managed my main goal of not having a significant injury. But I didn’t really skate so well overall and I still have insane setup madness that makes progressing hard.

(setup 5/10 8.25/14 sample, jessup ultra null, venture 5.6 v-hollow with ace bushings, 52mm bones stf v1 103a, splay rev s-series black size 12 with remind cush insoles)
(pain level 4/10)
