After a fun afternoon of working on Rampy (photos soon) we hit Southern Hills as it started getting dark and a nasty wind kicked in. The crew was Jake, Carleigh and I. The temperature was below freezing, and way colder when the gusts would hit. There were patches of ice on some of the benches. Brrrr. But we skated and everyone seemed to be excited about it. Carleigh mostly worked on back 180s on flat or into the little bank. She also did some noseslides and got into 180 nose grinds. I was kind of all over the place. When we built Rampy the first time we also took a break at Southern Hills. Although Jason was along for that one. Argh. I really like that spot. I mostly just cruised around for awhile and did some basics and enjoyed the pop a new board brings. I got a couple lines I was pretty happy with. First one was ollie over the corner of a bench, noseslide to fakie, fakie varial flip, heelflip, bail a crook. Other one was front 50 front shove out, halfcab flip, front noseslide (landed so bad!). God a good feeling crooks too. Came close to front 5-0 shove out on the bench too, but it got too dark and windy for us to stand it. Jake keeps getting better. His kickflips were looking good and he had some nice noseslides and halfcab noseslides. He kept almost slamming on front 50s so started doing front tails instead. That’s sicker anyway and he had a nice one or two to fakie as well. Fun session even though it was so cold.
