I ended up at the double micro hip.  The f\/s hip is steeper than it looks on video, but still a glorified crack hip.  I had put together a new setup with ventures and loved it at this spot.  I think I did my first 5 kickflips so easily.  Also had some solid feeling stalls on the curb.  Again, it doesn&#8217;t look like a slant but I came somewhat close to a front tail to back 270 shove to fakie out.  Then I went in on the wallride nollie which took way longer than it should.  Then I took a while to fakie bigspin the hip before a few b\/s flips that didn&#8217;t take too long or look too good.  Then the halfcab flip which took like 30 minutes.  I couldn&#8217;t believe it.  The setup was a little weird having to curve around, but still, ridiculous and yet somewhat rewarding.  I guess it just feels good to try hard again even if it&#8217;s tricks I used to have on lock.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I went to Platte middle school.  The good flatground on the side of the school was still snowed in, but the manny pads were dry.  I forgot how much I hate those pads, the cracks kill me.  Initially I could barely ollie onto the pads and I was so angry and hating my setup.  Eventually I would get a nose manual and then much later a regular manual or two which may have had some tilts.  Pathetic.  I went over to the 3 stair which luckily had some runoff preventing me from trying to ollie up it.  I really wanted to ollie down it first try, but instead it took like 8 tries and I once again was annoyed with my lack of confidence and how massive my setup felt.  I was happy that I skated as hard as I did though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 4\/10 null 20 year 8.5\/14.25, null grip, venture 5.8 v-cast\/titanium with bones medium bushings, 52mm bones stf v1, es swift b\/s size 12 with spenco 3\/4 thinsoles)<br>(pain level 3\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On an incredibly nice afternoon I ran a couple errands and then went in search of dry spots.
