Had some down time on Fathers Day and went skating. Picked up Carleigh and headed towards Sussex ledge which is on my ‘by 40 list‘. We warmed up messing around on some little blue manny pad we found near the dumpster behind Ross. It ended up being fun. We each got mannies and I got a nose manny. I also got a couple front lipslides and Carleigh ollied up to powerslide on it. Then we went over to the ledge and the failing began. Carleigh started slow with noseslides, but by the end was sliding over half of the ledge. I got relatively close to front 50 a few times. Had a couple good slams and lots of mental breakdowns. Still, it was fun to finally try a trick on my list and I guess the tricks on that list aren’t supposed to be super easy anyways (for me). A little more speed would help me, but the double sided thing scares me. Mostly when I would get on it my balance wouldn’t last til the end of the ledge. Maybe next time.
