I was out of 8.38s so I set up an 8.5 which is basically the same.  Or so I thought.  I had a long day of doing chores and hanging with the girls.  I didn&#8217;t have a lot of time so I went with the default of the research ledge.  I did not skate well at all.  I don&#8217;t really know why.  I tried my new rule at that spot of having to do 50s and a treflip before crooks.  The back 50 and treflip came somewhat easy, but I kept either not getting onto or sticking the front 50.  It sucked.  I am starting to hate this ledge.  Maybe I should just go back to not skating it frontside.  Other filp tricks went ok, but that board felt rather huge.  I stuck with it for awhile, got one line I liked.  Front shove, front 180 up a curb, fakie flip on flat, switch front nose the ledge.  I gave up on front 50s after getting into several and sticking then did a slow line, with tricks that mostly felt good coming down the hill.  B\/s flip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, ollie up the curb, crooks.  Got a couple more crooks.  Did a quick and terrible halfcab noseslide.  I may never really learn that trick.  It was a really frustrating session.  Made me question the bigger setup already.  Doh.<\/p>\n<p>(setup: 8.5 null message deck, venture 5.8s, thunder bushings, 52mm reed wheels, 2 washers inside each axle, nb# quincy 254 blue\/gum, spenco orthotic thinsoles with footprints heel pad)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I was loving the bigger setup so I set up a new deck.
