Temperature wise it was colder out then yesterday, but without the wind it didn’t feel too bad.  I pulled out the ol’ Null thermal for the first time and was layered up good for the cold.  I cruised around for a bit and ended up at one of the new buildings that John and I sometimes play SKATE at.  Maybe I should start paying attention to building names.  To get my feet warmed up I did a few flatground tricks.  180s, shoves, kickflips, nothing much, just enough to get the blood flowing.  On the way out I noticed a 3 stair I hadn’t seen before.  I did a little line up to it with fakie ollie a crack, switch 180 a crack, front 180 down the stairs.  Wowsers.  On top of the 3 stair is a ledge with another ledge to ollie over which I attempted to pose an ollie over, but was not even capable of posing the ollie over.All day I had been thinking of this new spot with a narrow path to ollie a little ledge.  I headed there.  On the way I saw quite possibly the shortest skirt I have ever seen on a totally smoking college girl.  That was distracting.  A hill bomb later I ended up at the spot.  It wasn’t as great as I’d remembered, but whatever.  I took like 30 tries trying to get a pop shove on this narrow path to setup for a kickflip, but it didn’t happen.  The path is surrounded by bricks so you can go off the path and your ok, but I’m a perfectionist (clearly, just look at my style).  I gave up on the shove, started ollie’ing a little two stair first instead then doing a kickflip on the path.  When I didn’t land perfect in the path I would turn around.  So this means every try until the last try so I finally go to ollie the gap and it’s weirder then it looks.  Narrow, downhill, sideways approach.  I clipped the ledge and bailed.  But I felt good and wanted it next try, I go to grab my board and it’s folded in a V.  Shit!  I guess that’s what I get for skating a totally cracked board when I have tons of new boards at my house.  Did I mention I saw the shortest skirt I’ve ever seen?  Wow.  Calm down Fuzz.
