skate journal: short blah pleasant surprise at the school (feb 16, 2026)

After a cruddy day at work I went across the street to the school. It was very nice out. I had intended to attempt flatground even though I was sore, but then I saw that someone had put in some extra work on the curb. I was skating my 8.3 with thunders and hated every squeeky-bad-turning-hard-to-flip minute of it. Tried a line for a bit of sw 180 the manhole into the little hill, slappy, b/s flip on flat. Had a few fun ones, but the b/s flip kept not working. Then I slammed extra hard on a slappy attempt and dove awkwardly barely avoiding the pole so I called it a day.
