I went to the curb at first.  The worst part of winter skating is all the sand\/pebbles.   The curb section was really bad from the school busses depositing rocks\/sand\/boulders\/landmines.  I had put an 8.25&#8243; deck on because I thought I should.  I didn&#8217;t like it.  I had some fun slappy crooks and okay 50s.  I tried kickflip 50s both ways and couldn&#8217;t get it.  I blamed the &#8220;big&#8221; board so went in and put a new 8&#8243; board on.  Then I skated flat in front of the house for about an hour.  I was fighting the sickness so didn&#8217;t have a ton of energy\/drive.   Kickflips felt great.  Heelflips do not work in City Cups.  Seriously, how do people like McClung and Gustavo heelflip in them?  Took me so many tries to get a heelflip and I couldn&#8217;t ever get a halfcab heel.  I never quite got a 360 flip.  I got incredibly close to nollie flip, nollie treflip.  Hucked a few more other tricks.  I feel like nollie heel is so possible finally.  It&#8217;s all because of Jack&#8217;s advice of putting all your weight on the front big toe.  I had a couple great feeling fakie bigflips.  When the sun went behind the foothills it got really windy and I went inside.  Feeling defeated yet again, but not so angry because at least being sick counts as little excuse.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 8\u2033 null dream machine deck, venture 5.2 v-hollow high trucks, 51mm bones stf pj v1, 3 speed washers on the inside of each axle to make it feel a little wider, bones medium bushings, adidas city cup b\/w size 11, stock insoles)<br>(pain level 3\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a lot of chilling and resting I got out on a nice day while fighting a cold.
