skate journal: feeling good at research ledge with jack and carleigh (feb 12, 2015 day 43)
Another nice day in the 60s. I went to research center around 7pm to meet Jack and Carleigh. I arrived first. I went up to the main entrance and rode down the stairs a couple times before heading back to the ledge area. I did a couple warm up lines with some 180s off the bikepath kicker, some more 180s on flat, ollies up the curb and some noseslides. I tried a few noseslides going way faster then normal. Then some crooks not going faster then normal. Then a sloppy back 50 or two not going fast at all. Also had a couple front 50s when Jack and Carleigh showed. I was feeling really good. Rattled off a few flip tricks. Heelflips and fakie flips felt good. Didn’t try a treflip. Maybe that explains why I had fun. Had some lines with manuals on the long pad too. Carleigh was going for front 180 nosegrind and front noseslide. She was locking in super good to the front nose. Such a hard trick. Jack went tech from the start. Boardslide to switch 5-0 180 out. Front 5-0 to front noseslide and a bunch more basics. Lots of poppy kickflips and manuals and stuff. Oh yeah, early on it was warm enough that I shed my hoodie. Hope this weather keeps up!
