I haven’t been to Red Curbs in forever as some friends got gnarly tickets awhile ago. I was dropping off my ballot nearby and decided it was time to test it out. The curbs didn’t look as freshly skated as they used to. They used to always be so waxed up with fresh slide marks, but no so much now. I started things off with a slappy crook. Then front 50. Felt good, but sticky. I was wearing some old cupsoles to try and prevent some leg pain, NB# 288s that I’ve had forever. They felt alright. I had a fun manual on the manny pad. Man, I forgot how great that manny pad is. I had a a couple flip tricks and shoves. Took awhile to get a nose manual. Did a few back 50s. Slammed on a fakie nosegrind. Got a couple slow halfcab flips. Last trick was a front lipslide which I haven’t done since last time at Red Curbs. It took awhile, but I managed to squeek a little slow one. The section isn’t as waxed as it used to be.
