Woke up early while working the late shift giving me some time to catch the morning sun. There was already a dude there doing slappies. He looked like a young Saul without the tattoos. Warming up went alright. the A-frame ledge and two-step ledge were back. Things were arranged differently, part of the fun of this park. Had a fun warm up run of crooks the metal butter ledge, frontside slappy then ollie the mini cinder block ledge. I wanted to do some tricks on the newish little black ledge that has eluded me for awhile. I got front 50, front 50 180, front 50 shove and the Joe Hamilton which felt even cooler than I remembered that trick feeling. Also got switch noseslide 270 shove. Was trying all those at the start of a line with halfcab noseslide or crook on a cinder block next, ollie the wallie barrier, back 50 the low pad, nosegrind 180 the mini cinder block. The key there is the ollie over the wallie barrier. I did it a bunch of time, clean too! I was happy about that. I tried a couple ollies off the wedge onto the picnic table, but wasn’t really feeling it. I didn’t put a lot of effort into flatground. In the end I posed some of my harder tricks. Halfcab crook (not close), kickflip 50 (never committed) and noseslide 270 shove (I mean I guess it was remotely close). After that I was beat and called it a day.
