On a Saturday in which I was still avoiding ollies I drove off to explore and maybe skate a little. First spot was the school on Mapleton and I found nothing. Then I went to the long ride on grind over the stairs, but it had so much gravel around it. I went around that area and didn’t find much other than a pretty good manny pad. Next to Columbine elem. Didn’t do anything there other than huck some sw bs flips off a speed bump that were not close at all. More driving ended up at Bear Creek. Made myself roll down the stairs and do a couple of drop down manuals. Saw that someone fixed up the ledge in the back so that is awesome. I just did a sw fs noseslide on it. Then I made myself try 10 sw bs flips on flat and was not even remotely close.

Still dealing with groin strain, but needing to go skate on a nice night I went to WF qp. I skated about an hour and never ollied. Tricks didn’t come that easy. And it was weird one homeless dude was nice and left when I got there, but then he came back. He was encouraging, but I felt bad disrupting his sleep. Anyway, everything took several tries. Well, not the 50s. I had done some 50 reverts and some 5-0s and thought I should actually do a 5-0 to fakie. I still did the cheater version, but it made me happy. The frontside version took a while again, but I couldn’t get it with a grind. Felt good to skate and I don’t think I caused any damage.
