On a sunny, but cold day I went out searching for something in the sun to skate. I drove for quite awhile, but didn’t really find anything to skate so I ended up at a spot I knew would be dry. It’s out on Valmont and it gets direct sun against a building. I took like 5 tries to land a kickflip. It didn’t get better. I had a bunch of layers on and was still cold. It made me mad at winter so I flipped it off by taking my shirts off and got some sun. It was cold, but actually felt good. I still didn’t land hardly anything. Halfcab flips, 180 flips. A big cloud came and it got really cold. I told myself I had to land a heelflip before I could put my shirts back on. It took a long time. I was pretty over the 8.5″ at that point. Of course. Anyway, I should sum up this part of the session with the following description. A big uncoordinated dork without a shirt on skating slow in 28 degree weather not landing anything. I had seen the wallride earlier and did a few of them on the way home before giving up on finding anything else. I’m sick of winter.
