Research ledge is dry! I’ve been waiting for this day for awhile now. If only the ledge missed me as much as I missed it. I had felt fine all day and for some reason right before skating I started to feel weird and nauseous. It made for a horrible session. I only skated it backside as the gravel in the frontside run up was too much. Plus I didn’t have a lot of energy. I started with boardslide, noseslide, noseslide to fakie. Then took awhile for crooks which isn’t all that bad, but it felt like a trick I’ve never done before. I don’t know what was going on with my body, but I don’t like it. Going up the hill I would try switch flips over and over, getting close a couple of times. I also tried about a million 360 flips to start my downhill descent towards the ledge, but never landed one. I was bumming so hard, but stubborn me just kept trying to land tricks. I got a very tic tac’y back 50, bad switch front nose and halfcab noseslide. Tried fakie front 50 for awhile never getting close, did another crooks that finally felt ok. Ended posing a couple halfcab crooks and realizing there is no way I could land it feeling the way I did. Went home.
