Was driving to the research ledge and saw that they repaved the asphalt at this nearby building. So I pulled in and checked it out. An added bonus was a ton of brand new square parking blocks. This spot has a lot of options. I tried to pay more attention to flip tricks and started doing lines with flipper to warm up. First one was boardslide a parking block, kickflip on flat, noseslide to fakie the yellow ledge. Then ollie off the loading dock, nose jib to fakie, halfcab flip. I did some lines starting with f/s flip. They were still bad late pivot ones, but it felt good to try. Another line was heelflip, back 5-0 the curb (my fav trick all day as I never just quickly do back 5-0s), boardslide the yellow ledge. My favorite line was fakie flip (had tried a bunch of fakie varial flips and had to give up), fakie nosegrind the curb, halfcab crook the parking block (i’m not sure it technically was a crook, but i turned and put the truck on the block so i’m counting it and there is no camera to say it didn’t count anyway) then ollie low to high. I tried a half ass attempts at nosesliding off the drop, but never really committed. The metal ledge was too tall to 50. I tried no comply flip for awhile. I’ve never done it down a drop. It made it scary. I committed to a few, but never landed on it. I might go back or that one. After awhile I gave up and went to the research ledge. I did a noeselide or two, a bad crook then got tired and called it a day.
