I thought I was feeling good, but my first ollie attempt was meant with lots of pain and no pop whatsoever.  Ugh.  It didn&#8217;t get much better.  I got there first.  Dave arrived shortly after.  Jake about 30 minutes later.  I tried and really wanted to rattle off tricks, but it just didn&#8217;t happen.  I got a few halfcab flips, a terrible fakie bigflip, a few fakie flips, some slow front shoves.  I posed a lot of tricks.  Dave was struggling with kickfrlips after having a stellar day popping them recently.  Doh.  He did get really close on 360 flips.  Or was it switch 360 flips?  I can&#8217;t remember.  He later told me he wanted to quit skating too.  Man, we&#8217;ve been struggling.  Jake on the other hand, put down 3 flip right away, frontside flip, shoves, etc.  We played a game of SKATE.  Well, we technically played two games of SKATE, but the first one went so bad we restarted.  Basically I got a letter on pop shove, did double or nothing, got two letters, 3, 4 and I was out just like that.  I don&#8217;t remember the last time I&#8217;ve missed that many pop shoves in a row.  The next game started with me getting SK on kickflip.  Unbelievable.  Jake went on to win with tricks like 360 flip, Dave did his first ever defensive frontside flip, and I think the last trick was pop shove body varial.  I had tried to keep skating while Jake and Dave were finishing the game, but I was just too sore.  <\/p>\n<p>(setup 8.25 null fortune deck, venture 5.2 low awake trucks, 1\/16&#8243; risers, 3 washers inside each axle, venom 88a bushings, swiss bearings, 50mm spitfire classic formula 4 wheels, new balance numeric 598 black\/white 12 remind cush chico insoles)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What else would I want to do, but skate flat with a couple friends on my birthday on a beautiful day?
