I was motivated and felt decent.  The warm up process went alright.  I took a few tries to get a pop shove I was happy with which was the start of the struggles.  Then kickflip took a few tries, but I did manage my 5 in a row.  Then heelflips.  I had gotten one and was going for a total of 5 when a missed heelflip resulted in my foot going right through the middle of my board.  No worries I grabbed a very old 8&#8243; deck sitting on the garage and swapped them out.  It felt a little small and I started with fakie flips to get going.  Then I went back to heelflip and was able to get 4 more of those.  Did a couple backside flips, a great feeling fakie varial flip.  Then couldn&#8217;t treflip to save my life followed by many varial heelflip attempts that I couldn&#8217;t land either.  I hucked a few nollie flips that felt pretty close, but overall I was just so bummed.  I tried so hard and I couldn&#8217;t come up with a rare or new trick.  It really felt like I&#8217;m just too old to learn new stuff anymore and it hit me hard.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 8.25 null curby deck\/null logo 8&#8243; deck, jessup ultragrip, venture 5.2 awake lows, venture yellow bushings, 3 washers inside each axle, 1\/16\u2033 riser, 51mm spitfire F4 101a radial slims, new balance numeric 288s grey\/blue size 11.5, no insoles)<br>(pain level 2\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went out to the garage on a rainy evening before dinner.
