On a cold night I went across the street to play on the curb. The motivation was to get a feel for halfcab 50 which Dave challenged me to. I played on the curb for about 30 minutes, but didn’t only try halfcab 50s. I had some fun slappy crook, 50s, nollie tails both ways. I got pretty close to the halfcab 50. I was going ultra slow, but I feel like it’s possible. I also tried a bunch of switch crook which I didn’t get, but I did get a fakie b/s nosegrind. It was a little scratch, but it felt cool. Then I went to the back and played on the rocks. It was weird how quite and crisp the air was. I felt like all the skate noise was way louder than normal. Anyway, I skated them differently. I did a few stalls at first, but rode across the narrower one, axle stall the one by the table, nosestall to fakie the middle rock. Neat. Then I started hucking kickflip nose stalls going one way and front smith or tail stalls the other way. I got really close to all three, but realize now that I didn’t land any of them. How did I let myself go home?
