Got some stuff done early, but the day seemed to drag on without much happening.  After a fun game of football with Ollie cheered me up I went to Valmont as the thunder clouds loomed above.  The warm up period consisted of various slappy noseslides.  Frontside, b\/s, switch, etc.  It was fun.  Then I waxed the ledge beyond belief.  I guess the wax was still warm as it had been in my trunk, but it went on so thick that Hulslander would be proud.  I have been thinking about front tails a lot lately so I tried some.  It was scary with how fast the ledge was and the first couple I got into slid so fast that I just kind of fell off to fakie which I was fine with.  They were at least sliding which is rare for me and I followed one up with a f\/s halfcab flip.  I went for back 50, but did a back 5-0.  Love when that happens.  Also got back 50.  Came close to kick back 50, halfcab noseslide and crooks to fakie.  I did a ton of slappy crook stalls on the curb.  Man that trick rules.  I should wax that curb up too.  Did a few flippers, nothing too special.  Had trouble with front 50s.  Never got a treflip.  Got one front tail to forward that slid awhile.  Then the rain came and it was total chaos.  I went home and setup our new TV so the kids could watch Harry Potter.  It&#8217;s my fourth TV.  None of which I pay for and everyone of them has been slightly better then that last.  This one was so heavy though.  Can&#8217;t wait until people start getting rid of flat screen tvs.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a really blah and downer of a day.
