skate journal: solo valmont ledge for a bit (Nov 8, 2012)
Was gonna run some errands, grab some beer and then sit around and watch basketball. But when I went to leave I felt fatter then normal from a pot luck at work and decided I should skate a little. After hitting Target I hit the Valmont ledge. I wasn’t all that inspired, but I kept at it. I’m not sure if it’s my age, my arthritis, or both, but that ledge seems taller now. I can’t believe I have front 50’d the 3rd tier of it before. I could barely front 50 the 2nd tier, but eventually did and got shove and front 180s out. Did a bunch of noseslides. A couple tiny front tailslides, sorry attempts at kick back noseslide, a bunch of slow treflips where I put my hand down in the landing, and some other stuff not worthy of writing about.
