\u00a0I sat for awhile and cooled off while everyone else seemed to kill it. \u00a0Fuzz learned a new trick &#8211; fakie 5-0 halfcab out. \u00a0Jason almost did back tails. \u00a0Nate did a ton of back lips. \u00a0Eventually I got a front smith then a front 50. \u00a0After awhile I played a game of SKATE with young Max. \u00a0He beat me, but we had a good game. \u00a0He was mostly trying 540 flips and I posed a couple. \u00a0Impossible. \u00a0Before leaving Louis, Brian S and I got in a nollie treflip rut. \u00a0Louis and I landed them then moved on to trying nollie front bigflips. \u00a0We were both really close and eventually I pulled one off. \u00a0Rad! \u00a0I think I kind of landed one in LA a long time ago with Nullers and JP around, but this one was legit. \u00a0I would have liked to skate longer, but I had to get on some Christmas family stuff. \u00a0Fun day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jason and I felt like getting an early start. \u00a0I felt pretty crappy as usual lately. \u00a0I think I&#8217;m getting a sinus infection. \u00a0I skated in front of my house for awhile waiting for Jason and then Brian. \u00a0Ended up doing a faster than normal kickflip followed by a frontside flip. \u00a0Then we went to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-skate-journal"],"wppr_data":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1j9K4-jW","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1236"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
