skate journal: research ledge on a sunday afternoon (april 3, 2016 day 94)
Had a lazy Sunday going after such an action packed day the day before. I headed to research ledge late in the afternoon. I brought some wax and it was kind of melted from the warm weather so it caked the ledge. Maybe too much. I started with noseslide and noseslide to fakie, then crooks, boardslide popout, back 50, halfcab noseslide. Some of these were done really badly, but I didn’t want to focus on them. Then went crooks to fakie which took awhile and finally I tried back 50 shove out for awhile and forgot how to back 50. Ugh. I got a little mad at that point. Doing flatground going back up to the starting point went better then expected. I got a lot of my basics. The heelflip first try kind of surprised me, that is one of the tricks I’m supposed to lose with the bigger setup. I ended trying crooks shove out the hard way. I didn’t get close at all, but it seems possible. That’s kind of a dream trick.
