I was up late seeing Drive Like Jehu destroy it.  But since I don&#8217;t really drink at all anymore I had no hangover and was feeling pretty good and wanting to skate.  I went to Lafayette park around 10:30 not really knowing if I could skate because of my groin pain.  I started by doing axle stalls on a bunch of various things at the park.  The first of which that was scary was the bank to bank at the end of the snake run.  I hit the toilet bowl for awhile and did a basic line of kickturn on the rock, axle stall on the lowest extension, front 5-0 on the parking block.  It took a bit and I slammed hard into the pump boob at one point.  Having the park to myself ruled.  It reminded me that my distaste for skateparks is more related to crowds then terrain.  I forced myself to do a tiny scratch grind on the 8&#8242; end of the snake run.  I should have tried axle stall, but I&#8217;m scared.  Then I did a bunch of little spine transfer tricks.  Just the typical front 50 to fakie, fakie 50 or pivot then back to fakie.  Pretty fun.  I got a few noseslides down the little hubba.  Somehow ollieing backside doesn&#8217;t hurt too much.  I had a line of b\/s ollie the manhole bump, powerslide, hurricane on the spine thing then noseslide down the hubba.  That was a neat feeling.  Then I battled noseslides down the 3 stair ledge for awhile.  I have never landed it.  It seemed like the faster I went the harder I stuck, so I had to find that perfect medium that allowed me to lock in perfect.  I eventually landed one that wasn&#8217;t the whole thing, but it was fun either way.  I ended my awesome day trying cab flips on the flat bank in the back corner.  I had a really fun run going into it.  Wallie the rock hip, front slash the tiny qp, turn to fakie on the manhole bump, 2 switch pushes then try the cab flip.  It was a tough place to do them because there isn&#8217;t much room to take angle into the bank.  Anyway, I kind of rode away from 2 of them.  The first of which was only a halfcab flip that I turned around to forward as I was riding down.  The second was closer to a real one, but still wasn&#8217;t one clean motion.  Oh well, it felt great trying a flip trick and somehow it didn&#8217;t seem to strain my groin.  I had a blast.<\/p>\n<p>(setup 8.1 null venture lows 52mm stf v3 nb# pj stratford 533 brown\/gum)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the day off work.
