It’s been awhile since I’ve skated this spot. Mostly because it’s not really skateable during the winter as the bricks retain moisture. But it was good on this day and way more fun then I remembered. I warmed up slowly on the tiny banked curbs, started going noseslides and before long got into it. Pretty quickly I had a fun line of crooks over one brick section then noseslide to fakie over the next. It felt really cool. I tried to get better crooks, but never really did. I randomly hucked a kickflip nose stall and pretty much did it first try. I got close and technically landed one, but still never posted up like I want. It’s weird how the bigger board felt better for it though. Took too long to do front 50 over a gap, couldn’t get shove out. Did some switch noseslides. Only a few flippers here and there. That old board is pretty shot, flippers would benefit from a new one. Couldn’t get halfcab noseslide over a gap or back 50s. Started hucking front crooks (not over a gap) and got into a bunch of them. It felt pretty awesome. Never landed one, but got really close and it brightened my day.
