I was armed with the same crappy Xero&#8217;s, but a couple smaller boards.  After some carving around I did some flatground ollies with both and basically nothing happened.  It was so depressing. Like I totally attempted to ollie and the board did not leave the ground.  It was almost kind of amazing in a way, like wow, it&#8217;s amazing how much the body can degrade after 3 weeks of not skating when you&#8217;re almost 50.  I would stick with an 8.25 with venture lows and it was okay, but I still had ghost pop over the hip.  Cass would show after a while.  He hasn&#8217;t skated in a long time, but he&#8217;s only 30 something (okay almost 40) so he was good.  Covid got him good.  He would get kickflip over the hip, almost a sick line of back bigspin the hip, fakie fail then front big on the bank.  I got some kickflips.  As in plural this time.  I got around 5 kickflips to fakie, but they took a long time to get the first one.  Never got two in a row.  Jack B showed while I was trying to backside flip and was about to lost my mind.  Luckily I finally landed one.  Cass called out a fun game of best dork trick on the bank.  He would almost get a fakie casper, but kind of rolled his ankle.  That wasn&#8217;t a dork trick anyway Cass!  I did some bean plants which I haven&#8217;t done in a long time, but they sucked and would not make Rob proud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup null 8.25 hesher, jessup ultragrip, venture 5.2 low v-cast, spitfire 52mm f4 99a classic, xero kelso bw size 12 NB insole from some 306s)<br>(pain level 5\/10 not worth it)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a sunny but cool morning I gave India a ride to work then went to the skatepark.
