Around 11 I set out without any real plans in mind.  I drove to a school in north Boulder (Foothills) as I hadn&#8217;t been there in years.  It still wasn&#8217;t great, but I saw some options for Dave and I ollied a two stair to get the juices flowing.  Then I went to Crestview and discovered the freshly painted curb that was so good.  I could do real frontside slappies and it was fun.  I did a warm up line of slappy, ollie up a curb, axle stall a dry curb, front 180 down a two stair.  Then I went to the metal bench area and was humbled by how hard they were.  I couldn&#8217;t get a line of front 180 up then sw noseslide 270 shove.  I don&#8217;t know why the shove would not work.  The kickflips up took me a bit, but I would get quite a few eventually.  Not sure why I couldn&#8217;t front board after, but the little scrape was all I had.  I then ended up at the basketball court.  I went right past the skatepark.  One dude was skating it and popping some ollies over a hip.  Another was practicing ollies in the grass in full pads.  I proceeded to not feel good on my board at all.  Managed some noseslides and little crooks, one front axle stall that took a long time and I barely got up there.  Couldn&#8217;t do any flip tricks to save my life.  Had a setup change of 8.25 and slappy lows, it was okay.  I just don&#8217;t land anything anymore.  With that said, I still had fun getting out and skating different spots.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 3\/10 8.25 slappy low profile 52mm splay rev b\/w size 12 272 and currex runpro insoles)<br>(pain level 6\/10 initially the splays felt great, but by the end I was soooooo sore)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had a lot of busy weekends lately, so it was nice to not have anything lined up for the day.
