I got there before Dave L and arranged a mini bank to curb.  The black wedge to the back of the stop ledge.  It was kinda fun and awkward.  I was wearing new shoes, Westgates.  Well, I&#8217;ve worn them a couple times skating before.  They felt surprisingly good.  Dave L showed up and we both slowly warmed up.  I was more lining out boardslides and the bank to curb.  He was doing nollie 180s over a parking blocks.  We moved moved the cement ledge that had been against the fence without blocks under it to a good spot again.  I was hyped on that.  We started linking lines.  Dave could easily manual them.  That is so rad.  I should try to ride on them, but I&#8217;m terrified of that.  He did back 50 then back 5-0.  Pretty unreal line to me, but he was kinda like whatever.  I took awhile to get halfcab noseslides.  Not sure why, maybe the smaller setup.  I did the lines above, they were pretty fun.  I think I broke the record for shortest grind on the fakie nosegrind jib.  I had gotten the line with the ollie over the wallie barrier.  I mean, it wasn&#8217;t a clean ollie, but I&#8217;m working on it.  The footage of this shows me how bad my ollies are.  I need to drag the front foot further up to level out the board.  So maybe after 30 years of skating I will try to correct my pathetic ollies.  I had gotten a few flatground tricks.  Heelflip, treflips, halfcab flip, fakie flip and maybe a couple more.  I filmed Dave do a cool nollie lip up the parking blocks then a nose manual 180.  We left as the sun came in and heated things up a lot and a few people started showing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surprisingly I wasn&#8217;t too sore and I wanted to skate some flatground before date night with Liz.  So I went in the shaded alley behind the school.  Things went a little better than last time.  I&#8217;m still terribly inconsistent though.   It took awhile before I landed anything actually. Jumping is hard.  I got the halfcab flip then treflip line.  Backside flip, heelflip, the worst f\/s halfcab heel done in history, first try f\/s halfcab flip, maybe a fakie heel.  These Westgates are very comfy, but the board feel leaves a lot to be desired.  Not the best flick and not a good heelflip.  But a lot can be said about being able to skate 5 hours in a day and not be too sore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 8.25 null abstract #6 deck, venture 5.6 v-lights, spitfire f4 101a 51mm classic wheels, 3 washers inside each axle, bones medium bushings, new balance numeric 913 Westgates b\/w, stock insoles)<br>(pain level 2\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a nice morning I went to dog park having the day off work.
