skate journal: short ledge session in SF before leaving (March 9, 2010)
Last day in SF. Flight was leaving at 3pm and we were all pretty worked after the night before. While the others went to Lowcard to shop for panties, Nate, Jason and I went to a nearby ledge that looked super fun. It was another super nice and sunny day. I started off slow, but we all seemed to get on our tricks shortly after Nate got some wax and made things happen. Jason got lots of back 50s, back 5-0, front 50, front 5-0, front smith and the banger of the session – back feeble. Nate was doing 10 feet long back 50s so easy, 10 feet long back 5-0s, back 180 fakie 50s, front 5-0s, and landed a back 180 fakie 5-0 180 out for the first time. My tricks were crooks, back 50, front 5o front 5-0 and I landed my first ever real front crooks. A few of them. Enough to even get the front crook grind mark. Rad. The regular crooks were my favorite though. The ledge was granite and against a wall. It grinded so good and made so much noise. Every trick felt amazing on it and it was all of our favorite session of the trip. Goodbye SF, I love you.
