The snow has kinda melted.  I felt like street skating and didn’t have a chance to get to skate until after it got dark.  Long past when anyone else I know seems to skate.  Ugh.  But it ended up ruling.  I put my mp3 player on Murder City Devils and cuised around downtown.  I came upon a little curb high manny pad right away that I’ve never skated before and hit it up for awhile.  Took me awhile to do a manual, but I’m used to taking awhile to warm up.  I noticed a really tall ledge around the corner that was only about 2 feet long and had a fun run of a nose manny followed by a noseslide.  So hyped.  I turned around and almost got a kickflip manny to back it up. Sick!  I moved on since I had been there too long already.After some rolling around and walking around puddles I ended up at the low and narrow ledge that I was just happy to ollie onto and ride around once before.  Got it first try again today.  It’s about 15 feet long with a curve, about 10″ wide and it’s beveled weird.  I decided to dream and try a manual.  A few tries later I locked into a perfect one and rode away completely amazed.  I don’t land tricks like that.  So hyped.  I sat and giggled for a bit before moving on to the two stair then over to the nearby bank where I failed at some frontside slappies.  Then some dude came up and asked me if I had any “medicinal”.  I responded saying I had some Ibuprofen at home.  He was so confused.  I love messing with people like that.  I left because that dude was hanging out singing and being annoying.  I kinda cruised around downtown seeing what was dry and ended up near the white ledge which was wet.  Spotted a pile of snow to ollie off the sidewalk into the street.  I had to time it with the light and pedestrians, but after a few tries I got it.  It felt great because I was actually going fast and only took 2 tries.  I ollied a couple more various piles of snow and called it a night.  So hyped on the manny on the curved ledge and the spontaneity of street skating in a downtown area.  I need spontaneity to keep skating every day.

Lazer, Jason and Nate were it for another snowy Wednesday night Rampy session.  Nate was really sore for some reason and it showed.  That may have been his worst night ever.  Jason was slow to start, but ended up ripping his patented edge to edge grinds and coping destruction.  Lazer and Rampy are dream made in heaven.  Yes, I just compared Lazer to heaven.  I’m sure he’d be stoked on that.  I skated ok.  My highlights were going for a fakie pivot fakie and getting a fakie 5-0 to fakie as it grinded a few inches.  Rad.  Also almost getting fakie hurricanes.  I may have landed one I’m not sure.
