After a nap and some nachos for dinner I skated in front of the house for awhile before meeting Jake at Meta at 8pm. \u00a0I skated faster and harder doing flatground then I have in awhile. \u00a0I did some of the fastest front shoves I’ve done and tried a couple lines. \u00a0Halfcab flip, 360 flip, heelflip. \u00a0Had too much problems with 3 flips to get it. \u00a0Front 180, f\/s halfcab flip, nollie tre. \u00a0Never got that either. \u00a0I feel somewhat clumsy in the shoes I have now. \u00a0Not sure why since their vulcs, but either way I’ve struggled with treflips.Then I went up to Meta to meet Jake. \u00a0We wanted to go across campus to this other spot. \u00a0On the way there things weren’t feeling right on my skateboard and \u00a0I bailed a tiny ollie then later on ate shit trying to ollie a little crack gap ate shit. \u00a0Scraped up my knee, elbow, ankle and hip and pissed me off to no end. \u00a0I wanted to focus my board. \u00a0I didn’t though and we went to the tall red manny pad. \u00a0I had some more awkward slams trying to ollie up the taller side. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0Neither of us quite got the manny from the shorter side. \u00a0Jake got an ollie up the taller side to chinese nollie off the shorter side. \u00a0I tried ollie up kickflip off, but never committed. \u00a0We went over to the long narrow manny pads area. \u00a0I ollied off the tall ledge. \u00a0Next we went to the double sided ledge. \u00a0I got a few boardslides and halfcab boardslide. \u00a0Neither of us got front board pop out. \u00a0Last up was near the red manny pad again where we did wallie back 50s. \u00a0It wasn’t waxed up too good, but we managed a few. \u00a0Jake tried to get one with a treflip and I tried to get a wallie nosegrind to fakie. \u00a0Jake never got the tre and and I never got the nosegrind, but I did whip around to fakie off the front truck and ride down the curb. \u00a0Fun. \u00a0Maybe with some wax it would nosegrind. \u00a0But my groin really started hurt again and we had had enough. \u00a0Not my favorite session, but that’s skateboarding.Lastly, it’s halfway through the year. \u00a0My goal of 300 days of skating is still realistic. \u00a0I’m at 155 with 184 days left in the year. \u00a0Some days it seems awesome, some days it seems daunting. \u00a0I missed 26 days in the first six months. \u00a0I can miss 39 days in the second half of the year and still get 300. \u00a0Yippee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
