I had done a bunch of lunges at work the day before and was feeling it. I could barely squat at all. I started doing rock ‘n rolls and stuff on the “qp” part of it. Then on the ledge it was tough to even do a slappy crooks at the top of the ledge. I would eventually loosen up a little though. Somehow flip tricks didn’t hurt too much. I did a couple lines starting with slappy crooks then kickflip to fakie or kickflip over the “hip”. Then took a few tries to get noseslides and got nollie and regular back 360s over the “hip”. Did a few of the worst/slowest back 50s the ledge has ever seen. Then I hucked back 360 kickflip over the hip for awhile. Like 10th try I did one. It amazed me. It felt a little pivoty, but pretty much perfect. I of course tried to film it, but the phone overheated before I landed it. I might put that one on the stubborns trick list. Going back up I tried a lot of front crooks. They felt good, but that ledge needed wax and I would stick. Got close to pulling in a few though. I added a really bad cab over the hip to my collection of tricks over the hip. Then it was time to go pick up India at the mall. I drove to the wrong mall to pick her up, but you get the point.
