I had wanted to go to a really dumb little hip spot, but there was a car parked on it so I ended up at the ledge\/bank spot.  It&#8217;s way harder to skate than it looks.  I just wasn&#8217;t feeling like going to a skatepark at all and wanted to hide away and get some confidence back.  Setting my board down and the first couple of pushes felt better even though I was sore from skating a couple days in a row already.  My warm up was a boardslide flop out, frontside carve over a hole (which I was seriously scared of) and then a nollie front 180.  Then noseslide followed by rock &#8216;n roll which scared the heck out of me.  I kind of lost some momentum after that but did manage my first fakie flip attempt.  I did a couple of ledge tricks.  Couldn&#8217;t get crooks.  Did a terribly slow fakie flip followed by a switch nose shove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I drove for a while looking for something new and found this random smooth parking lot with a couple of small gaps.  I had sized up a larger one that would normally be a first try ollie, but decided to start with the &#8220;small one&#8221;.  Low and behold it was actually scary for me and it totally bummed me out.  I would ollie it in a line of pop shove, ollie up a curb (which kind of hurt), then ollie the tiny gap (which did hurt).  I had come close to a couple of flippers in the parking lot, but didn&#8217;t land them.  As I write this a day later my knee is once again a swollen painful balloon.  UGH.  I was happy I skated, will probably need to continue jumping much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 6\/10 generator 8.5 14.25, jessup ultra, venture 5.8 titanium bones medium bushings, bones 52mm v1 stf, new balance numeric 600 knox black\/gum size 12 currex runpro insoles)<br>(pain level 6\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the wind starting to pick up and the forecast calling for high winds I got out kind of early on a beautiful morning.
