After yesterdays performance not being able to ollie well or even push comfortably I had written off Thunders yet again.  I tried my 8.5 Slace setup.  It felt good.  My goal was to go around the school and selfie film a trick at every one of the close to 10 spots around the school.  Well, it got off to a bad start when I couldn&#8217;t even ollie onto the narrow pad by the chalk board to start.  I did have some warm up flippers that came really easily though.  Bs flip, halfcab flips, fakie flip, heelflip.  I settled for the dorky manual.  Then I had posed an ollie over the two block and almost died bailing it.  So I was going to selfie film trying to ollie it, but then a group of kids came to the play equipment which is like 5 feet away.  Whew, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have done it anyway.  Then I ended up at the weird curved area and skated the regular ledge at first.  It was crazy, I tried a noseslide and went over the top and fell into the dirt.  Not as bad as it sounds, but it was still crazy.  May have gotten one little crook jib.  Couldn&#8217;t get halfcab noseslide.  Then I messed with the curved ledge for a while.  I couldn&#8217;t get the nerve (or enough angle) to 50 it.  Settled for the &#8216;nollie&#8217; tail then quick ollie.  It was way harder than I wanted it to be.  Then I was on the side of the school.  I really struggled to front 50 the low ledge comfortably.  It was annoying it faces directly at the road so anytime a car would come I would let it get to my head and stop skating.  I would eventually go on to get a run that sounds good on paper, but was really slow.  Halfcab flip, front 50, curve around and b\/s flip out of the little bank.  Finally to the front area aka the main attraction and I was pretty sore.  I would get some noseslides, noseslide to fakie, perhaps a crook jib and I think a boardslide.  Front 50 didn&#8217;t even seem remotely possible ugh.  Also tried several treflips and came up empty handed.  Another tough session.  Made me doubt the larger setup.  I flipped it well until treflip time and certainly was no better at ollies with it.  Argh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 4\/10 null 8.5\/14.25 20 year deck, jessup ultragrip, slace 8.5 (ace baseplate and bushings slappy hanger), 51mm bones pj stf v1, new balance numeric 272 teal size 12 half insole plus currex runpro insole)<br>(pain level 5\/10 was pretty sore)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After lounging on a cold morning the sun had come out and I snuck out for a couple hours of skating.
