I pulled Ledgy out from the backyard, brushed off the snow and headed to my favorite parking garage. Upon arriving it was wetter then normal and there was a car parked in front of the best slappy curb. Doh. I warmed up with some kickflips that felt great, some boardslides on Ledgy, slappy trails on the curb and manuals. Started to get in the groove a bit with front 50s/ almost back 50s when Fuzz showed up. We skated the ledge mostly for awhile. Fuzz had some back and forth lines like front 50 / back 50, front 5-0 / back 5-0. He also had front 50 front 180 out and noseslides. I didn’t land much of anything. I’m not sure what was going on. I landed a few noseslide/crook/jibs, halfcab noseslide, front 50s, front nose (no slide) to fakie, switch back nose (no slide). Got into a few kick back tails on the curb. Went for a line of front 50 on the ledge then treflip and SNAP broke the tail. Argh. Luckily I had a spare old board in my trunk and Fuzz and I teamed up pitstop style to change out my board. We skated the ledge a bit longer before the real fun on a parking block ensued. We did mostly transfers. New ones for both of us. Fuzz did nosestall popped over back 180, fakie tail stall to f/s halfcab transfer and his “first” no comply over a parking block (not sure I believe that 38 year old!) and a few more before coming dangerously close to rolling his ankle. I struggled with wallie back 180 for awhile and eventually technically landed one. Got a first ever slappy crook stall back 180 transfer, no complies, kickflip, wallie front 180. We had fun and it was cool skating/chatting with Fuzz as it’s been awhile.
