Went to the research ledge after lunch. Got there well before Dave and Rob. Felt slightly less arthritic and had more energy, but skating was still tough. Started with the same routine of some 180s down the hill and noseslides. Tried some crooks posted up for longer. Had a couple good feeling ones. Started trying back 50s and it was a hopeless cause. Rob and Dave showed. Around then I had one of my better lines of the day. Fakie bigflip, kickflip up the curb, crooks the ledge, manual the long pad. Then I flailed at treflips for a good 30 minutes trying to start a line. Eventually landed one poorly and tried to follow it with front 180 up the curb, fakie flip on flat then halfcab noseslide. Didn’t get the hcns. Couldn’t get another treflip. Those dudes were getting in the groove. Rob manualled everything. Dave was doing rad wallie manuals. Then it started raining. Argh. Fuller worked through it though and filmed a super rad boardslide pivot on the stair. In the rain!

Then we went to Red Curbs. I mostly just did front 50s, 5-0s, and front smith attempts on the taller curb. Dave filmed Rob get a line or two. Pretty rad.
