It felt good initially.  Some of the problems were probably due to new shoes but I couldn&#8217;t land a kickflip to save my life even though they flipped much easier than my 8.25\/14.25\/thunder setup.  Couldn&#8217;t get manual into the bank.  Went down to the rock area.  Tried a line of front 180 up the 2, halfcab flip, ollie the 3.  Never got the halfcab flip.  Went to the main pad area again, attempted to get some ledge action going, but ended up just leaving.  I had no drive and it was despressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 7\/10 8.25\/14 sample, pepper g5, indy 144 titanium, 52mm bones x99 v1, new balance ct300 white size 12 half insoles and currex runpro insoles)<br>(pain level 4\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a long day of sitting at work I went out with some new shoes and two setups to skate.
