After dinner went to 30th and Pearl area. Skated my 8.25 with ventures. Other than a easy first try kickflip and one good front 50 I very much disliked it. Ugh. Warm up run that took too long was noseslide to fakie one of the taller ledge, sw 180 on flat, slappy crook. Then I mostly flailed around for a while before getting a line of front tail a banked curb, nollie back 180 flail, sw 180, noseslide the first ledge, sketchy crooks the next one. Then I went over to the brick area with the low escalating ledge. Had a fun and bad line of switch noseslide to forward then nollie tail. Messed around with front 50s, got one good one early on. Then went to suck mode and barely got another one and a few accidental garbage slow front 5-0s. My knee pain was pretty bad, I think that really played into it unfortunately. Left bummed.
