The good, the bad, the ugly

I rode each day this weekend starting things off Friday afternoon with probably the best set I've ever had. I felt like I could land anything I tried. It was great. Saturday I started slacking and was falling on easy stuff, but I chalked it up to windy conditions and rough water. By Sunday, I had the absolute worst run I have ever had in my wake career. It was so horrible, I felt bad for the people in the boat that had no other choice but to sit there and watch me fall on EVERY trick I attempted. The thought of it makes me want to puke.

I just thought it was interesting that I went from my best run ever to my worst run ever in the same weekend. I just wish I would have gone from my worst to my best and ended the weekend on a good note.

It happens to the best of us. There are just some days that you don't feel it. Every once in a while when I realize I can't do jack, I just screw around for a minute and then just say I'm done.

dMaus,

Whats really cool is when you fall on ole 5s at odub! haha.

Dave,

I know exactly what your talking about. I actually just had that happen last time i went out. Falling on everything, i mean everything. even a surface 180. Shocked

But I finised it up by landing 2 new moves, switch 270 to fs board to shuvit out, then i got an ollie to front lip ollie to front board shuvit out. so i went ugly , bad , then good. Laughing

I sucked big time last 2 times but today things were tighter. A few days off to get your motivation back works for me Exclamation
