It allowed me to rest up and get feeling better.  It also allowed me to assemble a new big complete from old parts in my garage.  The rule was not to touch my existing setup at all.  I found a really old 8.38 deck, some partially used Venture 5.8s and some wheels\/bearings.  When I was done with work I still felt pretty lousy, but I figured some exercise and fresh air would help.  It did.  I didn&#8217;t skate great, but I had fun.  I had the trucks way too tight, so that didn&#8217;t help.  I did the basic 50s above, which were both harder then normal.  The frontside one is so much harder then it looks having to dodge the handrail.  I played with some flippers too.  That really old board didn&#8217;t have much pop.  I tried a line for awhile of front 50 the narrow ledge (in the clip), kickflip into the second &#8220;bank&#8221;, cruise around the bike racks then backside flip up the slanted curb.  Got so close.  Then just did the b\/s flip by itself.  That was about it.  I felt a lot better when I was done skating.  I went home knowing I would want to keep skating the bigger setup so put my new wheels\/bearings\/good bushings in it.<\/p>\n<p>(setup 8.38 null bottom of the well deck, venture 5.8, thunder bushings, some old STFs, 2 washers on the inside of each wheel, NB# quincy 254s blue\/gum, spenco orthotic thinsoles with FP heel pad)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worked from home as I was feeling pretty sick.
