Went over to the school after 7 on a cold night. The curbs were wet, but the flatground area was dry. I wasn’t feeling good and warming up proved difficult. In fact I think it took about 8 tries to get a kickflip. I choked it up to having new shoes and tried to stay patient. It was really tough though I had so little confidence and skated so slow. I was hating how bad I’ve gotten at flip tricks. I managed the warm up line of kicklflip, no comply 180, fakie flip. Then fakie flip, halfcab flip. Halfcab flip proved difficult and I was really struggling to make the board move. I didn’t land anything more actually. I posed a few tricks, switch flip felt possible, but bailed something taking it to the shin and had a reflex that focused that board. Ugh. I sat quite depressed for a few minutes getting super cold then went home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
