After driving down from Buena Vista and a nap I headed out to hopefully enjoy the warm weather a little. I was supposed to do a “Twirlybird” for the game and I remembered this old short manual pad that I skated like 10 years ago (really) that was perfect for 180 nose manuals. So I figured it would be good for the extra 180 too. This spot ended up being pretty awesome. I mostly just tried the twirlybird until I got it. Going back I would try front tails on the curb and they felt somewhat good for once. It took me a solid 20 minutes to get the twirlybird and it felt pretty neat to land it. Then I skated more of the spot. Ollied the tiny median, did some grinds on it, did a kickflip and a bad treflip, ollied the little curb off the sidewalk. Then I ended by doing a wallie/nollie off the one stair. I didn’t do it very good, but it felt pretty cool anyway.

(setup: 8.25 null awkward deck, venture v-hollows 5.2 hi with 3 washers inside, venom 91a bushings, 50mm spitfire 99a wheels, nbnumeric pj stratford 533 black/gum)
