kickflip

Went in front of the Alaska house for a brief minimum. Did a few kickflips as it started to sprinkle.

not really a crooks but whatevs

super sick anchorage ledge spot

After skating until midnight the “day before” I drove to another spot. This spot is so sick. It was around 12:30 and starting to get pretty dark. It was pretty creepy being there by myself. I was exhausted. I just did a couple noseslides, crooks and front 50 the low part (from the above the ledge). I kind of wish I would have gone there first when I had more energy and it wasn’t so dark.

university of alaska skatespot

such a sick achorage skate spot

Extra tired, but with few opportunities like this I went into Anchorage with a few skate spots mapped out on my phone. I went here first. The campus was totally vacant, tiny and eerie. I attempted the warm up process with a few kickflips. I did a couple slappy noseslides off the ledge then started to try and do it the right way by ollieing up first. Going the backside way it was easy to get up the curb. The other way had a huge crack before it making it pretty hard. I got a few noseslides and a great feeling front 50 before I got the boot by a nice Anchorage police officer. Doh, wish I would have warmed up quicker.

Then I went here. It’s pretty much as perfect as it looks, although I did have a lot of difficulty landing anything. I did a few flippers when I would go back, but there were stop rocks everywhere. I couldn’t get much frontside. Backside I had a few. Back smith, feeble, crook, hurricane and ended with an alley oop front feeble (I think).
