I went to Southern Hills.  I tried to start with 10 flip tricks on the smooth patch.  Other than struggling with fakie varial flips again I got to nollie varial flip which would have been #7 pretty quickly.  But I never got one.  I tried for a really long time, landed on a few of them, but ended up giving up and started skating the ledges.  But then the principal or something showed up to clean the courtyard a little.  So that was weird.  I pretended to not skate the benches, kind of helped her and mostly felt weirded out.  Luckily she eventually left and I felt free to try whatever.  I had grand ideas of lines I would try, but I didn&#8217;t get there.  I basically tried a line of switch crooks to fakie on the curb, crooks the far bench, 360 flip on flat, turn around then front 50 the far bench.  Never got the 360 flip.  I was hyped on several switch crooks, but they were just pivots to forward basically.  I would like to learn to grind it.  I never got the front 50 either, but I did get into it a few times which is better than last time.  I started to get super hungry and tired and wishing I had a new board.  My trucks were the old ones worn to the axle and I lose motivation to try grinds.  It&#8217;s like once you get to the axle you win.  I&#8217;m lame like that.  Oh yeah, kind of cool I blew out my switch lace before the regular one!   (from trying so many nollie varial flips)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9538.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9538-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9538-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9538-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9538-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9538.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9539.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9539-640x853.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9539-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9539-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_9539.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7fDEBGuvrxM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then I went to Meta to get some trucks Sam had ordered me a long time ago.  I also got the new Traffic DVD and watched it while setting up a new board.  Then I went to the research ledge with the main purpose of starting the crooks groove in the new trucks.  After some noseslides I started trying, but of course all of a sudden I forgot how to crook.  Ugh, it was driving me nuts looking at the ugly little jib marks in weird places on the front truck.  I was trying switch front shoves on the way back up the ledge, got a couple bad ones, but closer to doing it right.  Then I started getting a few crooks and life felt better.  Then I started skating it more like I normally do.  Flip tricks, lines, etc.  I was super hyped on getting back and front 50s somewhat quick.  It felt great.  Also a first try halfcab noseslide.  Then I randomly started trying switch front nose 270.  As you can see I kind of did it. I also may have kind of done a switch crook which really excited me.  My flip trick game didn&#8217;t go so well, but I still had a really fun time.  Digging the setup.  Super hyped on my legs feeling better.<\/p>\n<p> (setup 8.25\u2033 null maze deck, venture 5.8 lights black, bones stf v5 52mm, 3 washers on the outside, venom 91a bushings, new balance numeric 212 green size 11, powerfeet pinnacle orthotic insole)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woke up a little ealier, handled a call for work and decided to go skate quick because I wasn&#8217;t sure when I&#8217;d be called next.
