Coldest night of the season so far and I went skating. I just couldn’t handle another garage minimum. I bundled up and went to the research ledge. Immediately it felt colder then I thought it was. It was 30, but with a cold breeze. I started with a cruise down the hill where I tried to do a bunch of tiny little ollies. On one of them I remember seeing a little rock when I took off and of course I landed right on it and slammed onto my knee/hip. It hurt a lot in the cold. Then I mostly just stuck to the ledge as it is somewhat protected from the wind. I did boardslide then noseslide. Then started trying noseslide bigspin out for awhile (shoving backside). Got close, then not so close so went with my favorite. Crooks. Got a couple of bad back 50s. Went to try more, but my bushings had frozen and made skating not so fun. So I went and hung out at Jason’s and it was rad. So glad he’s home!
