Another cold Sunday. It was in the low 20s. Ugh. I went to Crisis to sell some stuff and hang for a bit. We skated the curb in the shop for a bit until the massage people next door complained. Jack did some crazy shiat. Back big fakie pivot bigspin out. First try fakie tre fakie nosegrind. Cab flip back tail. On a cruiser board. Killing it. Carleigh did a bunch of front hurricanes and a backside one or two too boot. Crisis new guy joined for long enough to do a no comply 270 to tail after seeing mine and having never thought of that trick before. I didn’t do much more then the no comply 270 to tail.

Then I went to Meta to sell some more and go skating with John. We started out at the St Julien garage (photo above). It was super dark in there, but pretty warm. We skated flat and a few parking blocks. Kinda early on I had a line with wallie front 180, halfcab flip then front board to fakie. Front boards are the scariest trick. John had some really good treflips (no surprise there). I had several no complies over one and wanted to follow it with a heelflip, but could not get the heelflip. My legs were pretty tired from the day before. We settled in on the curbs above for awhile. John did a crazy switch noseslide pop over to regs. He did it a few times and when I went to take a photo you can see that his back wheels landed in the “tranny” and he shot out so hard. It was sick though. I had a bunch of whatever tricks. Slappy lipslide transfer, sw boardslide transfer, halfcab boardslide, halfcab boardslide to fakie and an ultra slow, but super excited about switch front board.

Then we left for Steelyards. I was really tired/sore and didn’t really land anything. I was struggling so hard. John got a front shove off the curb. I landed on like 10 of them and would just collapse. Ugh. I tried a few treflips too, but couldn’t roll away. We settled in on the curb next to the wall and I tried another front 5-0 (stall) kickflip out and came even closer then the day before. So tried a few more and boom. Bolts! It honestly felt amazing. We each did some more goofing around before security came and gave us the boot.
