I avoided the library spot only because I was in a super foul mood after working and didn&#8217;t want to be around people.  One of the better garages for flatground is now totally vacant and I made good use of it.  Well, I skated in it for an hour and a half or so.  I had brought my 8.5 and 8.25 setups and after a quick spin to compare realized how stupid 8.5 feels to me.  I got to my warm up line of kickflip, no comply 180, fakie flip pretty quickly.  Then I went in on 2 trick lines.  Fakie flip followed by halfcab flip.  Halfcab flip took too long, but then started a line with it then did b\/s flip.  Did quite a few cruddy b\/s flips and couldn&#8217;t get fakie bigflip after.  Gave up on that one and then everything kinda turned into random hucks.  I would get a first try fakie varial flip, eventually a fakie bigflip, couldn&#8217;t get a heelflip to save my life, f\/s halfcab flip, super close to nollie varial flip and somewhat close to nollie front heel.  I was kind of close to nollie treflips so I setup the phone to have one clip of the session and much to my delight I landed one in a few tries.  I didn&#8217;t have much time left to skate so I called it on a good note.  I was pretty bummed on how I change setups all the time making these tricks harder.  And the fact that I spent another week basically on 8.5 when I should know by now that I always end up disliking 8.5.  Argh.  I can skate 8.25 better.  I should stick with it and I really hope I do for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(8.25 null spanbauer, jessup ultragrip, venture 5.6 cast plate titanium hanger, venom 91a bushings, spitfire 51mm 101a classic shape, new balance numeric 288S b\/w size 11.5 no insoles)<br>(pain level 2\/10!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After another Sunday getting stuck working way longer than needed I eventually made it out to a parking garage off Valmont to skate some flat.
