Met Rob a little before 5pm on another chilly day. Sure it wasn’t all that cold (around 50), but there was a cold chill in breeze and it’s the middle of May already darn it! Warming up was very slow for me. I didn’t even really do any flip tricks, but I did one fakie flip where I was barely moving. So slow in fact that Rob laughed because he saw me land it, looked away, looked back and I was still in the same place. Yeap, that sounds like me. We mostly skated the ledge. Rob had some longer noseslides and boardslides, some crooks (the photo above isn’t a make, but oh well), front noseslides, halfcab boardslide, and manualled the whole hill a couple times. I had a few longer noseslides, crooks, couldn’t get back 50, got a front board pop out then started hucking a Fuller trick. Front board to fakie. Not even possible. I did however end up getting a front board back 270 out. Pretty sure it slid at least 6″ so it maybe counts as a new trick. It was fun. We didn’t skate too long, it was nice. I have to say I’m wanting to try some new trucks that turn tighter. Not sure what it’s going to be yet, but man, this website rules with all it’s info about trucks. I’ve been completely out-nerded. I’m ashamed.
