skate journal: short solo parking garage in omaha (dec 25, 2015 day 345)
On Christmas Day I stopped by this old ‘famous’ garage on the way to a big family gathering. Liz and the kids were in the car and they didn’t really mind me taking my time as they weren’t too keen on going to the party. I was really stiff initially as it was pretty cold. I was wearing some new wool slippers I got for Christmas and they were super slippery in my shoes making them very dangerous. It was weird. I quickly got to the point of trying a somewhat long line. Noseslide on the top part of the ledge above, kickflip up a curb, cali grind off (tech!!!), turn around and manual on the sidewalk, front 50 down the ledge. Never got the manual and front 50 together. Only got one front 50 and it wasn’t good. But I only was able to skate for about 15 minutes.
