class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Woke up around 5:30am for some dumb reason and felt pretty good so I went to the dog park.\u00a0 I was there shortly after 6:30 and thought I would have the place to myself.\u00a0 Nope, there were some little kids scooting or biking quite a bit of the time.\u00a0 Argh.\u00a0 I wonder why it&#8217;s fun to go in circles around stuff and not try tricks versus ride on the nearby fun dirt bike trails.\u00a0 Back to skating, the warm up was a struggle.\u00a0 I had started thinking I&#8217;d have one of those days where I couldn&#8217;t ollie at all.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve had one of those.\u00a0 It ended up being a fun session though.\u00a0 I got some front 50s on the cinder block ledge quickly, a shove out.\u00a0 Most of the ledges were sticky, it was annoying.\u00a0 Even for crooks.\u00a0 Dave had challenged me to halfcab noseslide shove so I tried that for awhile on a cinder block ledge.\u00a0 It is hard.\u00a0 I got somewhat close several times, but never landed it.\u00a0 I had tried to ollie the cinder block ledge too and 360 flips in between tries.\u00a0 Failed on all of those.\u00a0 I cruised around for a bit, feeling some stuff out.\u00a0 Then tried a kind of ridiculous line.\u00a0 Ollie the wallie thing, kickflip a small plastic parking block, back 50 the tiny pad, 3t60 flip, noeslide back 270 out the tall black ledge.\u00a0 I only got the first 3 tricks, but even that felt cool.\u00a0 Oh wait, I gave up on the ollie and did wallies instead.\u00a0 So maybe not so cool.\u00a0 I did do one noseslide and did a double pivot thing 270 out.\u00a0 It wasn&#8217;t anything like how Bobby does them, but it felt cool.\u00a0 I ended with a front nosegrind 180 on the narrow low metal ledge which I haven&#8217;t done on that before.\u00a0 All things considered I skated alright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then right after work I went into the shaded alley at the school and skated flat for about an hour.\u00a0 I was a little sore when I started, but felt good quickly.\u00a0 I would get quite a few of the basics, but didn&#8217;t get anything hard.\u00a0 I hucked a ton of tricks and never really focused on anything other than switch flips which I kept at the whole time.\u00a0 I was so close to a few switch flips.\u00a0 I had so many where I landed with just the back foot.\u00a0 I committed with both feet several times too, but it would only flip halfway.\u00a0 Halfcab flip took several tries for some reason.\u00a0 Other tricks I got were fakie flip, fs halfcab kickflip and heel, heelflip, backside flip.\u00a0 Couldn&#8217;t get nollie or reg treflip.\u00a0 Hucked some tricks I have no business trying like back 3 kickflip, fakie ghetto bird, switch back heel.\u00a0 I got tired tired near the end and had no energy so I went home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 8.25 null archway deck, jessup ultragrip, venture 5.2 custom hollow
