My legs have felt horrible for a week now. I have no jump at all. And my stubberness insists I still go skating. It was around freezing after an early dinner and I wanted to go somewhere I’ve never skated before. I drove around for about 25 minutes to find something dry enough to potentially have fun. I found a Chase bank that had some little snow piles and a few options. I set my board down and immediately felt weirder then I ever should on my board. I tried to do some warm up tricks and this is how it went.<\/p>\n

I was getting really angry. Not so much at my board going in the snow a bunch, but how horrible I felt on it. I tried a couple lines.<\/p>\n

First run was to ollie the little table top kicker (which I was kind of surprised I was doing) then a 3 flip on flat and then manual a median. Never got the 3 flip. Ugh. Second run was a f\/s halfcab flip, then a heelflip, then ride through a bunch of crappy salt and ollie up the curb and front 180 the snow pile. Only once did I get to the snow pile. Actually I got there a second time, but a car had pulled in to use the ATM or something. Jerk. The f\/s halfcab flip was not working at all so I gave up on it and went to b\/s halfcab flips which pissed me off even more because I would land on them, but they were horrid. So I gave up on that and went for fakie bigflip which I got first try then slammed hard on a stupid ass pop shove. Seriousy? I’m amazed my soaked, cracked, chipped deck survived that one. Then I could not land another fakie bigflip to save my life. I couldn’t even get close. I lost my shit and got all Jack \/ Rick Howard on that thing. I’m out of 8.1s so I guess it’s back to 8″ and I think I’ll put my Ventures on again. But wow, what a depression session. Hopefully my legs get better again with warmer weather that should eventually enter CO by July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
