On a cold and snowy night I went into the garage.\u00a0 The goal was to rotate between 6 different types of tricks.\u00a0 Kickflips, heelflips, nollie, switch, 360 flip, random trick.\u00a0 It made for a lot of failing, but at the same time made for some good motivation.\u00a0 I had a new pair of 212s and they felt a little slippery and stiff.\u00a0 Good shoes take a minute to break in.\u00a0 Also my trucks were making so much noise they were driving me nuts.\u00a0 Maybe it’s time to order better pivot cups.\u00a0 Basically I was not close to anything other than kickflip tricks and a couple terrible heelflips.\u00a0 I was not close to treflip at all which was oh so frustrating.\u00a0 I had gotten halfcab\u00a0flip kinda quick which was maybe the only joy I had on the 8.5.\u00a0 At some point I grabbed my 8.25 sitting there and said “8.5 never again”.\u00a0 I didn’t land a treflip on it, but I actually committed finally.\u00a0 I got a f\/s flip that felt alright.\u00a0 Some nollie and switch flips were close.\u00a0 Was not close to casper flips.\u00a0 I went in after about an hour and a half of flailing around feeling quite depressed.\u00a0 I guess the one positive is I think I finally found some insoles I really like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(setup 8.5 then 8.25 both with ventures and 52mm wheels, new balance numeric 212 black\/pink size 11.5, footprint mid elite insoles)
