skate journal: short ledge session with jack and joe (june 25, 2020)
Feeling pretty lazy and totally surprised that a few of the new Null boards showed up I went and met Jack and Joe at the hill ledge. I brought Jack’s board and had Joe shoot a few photos of me handing it to him. It was an awesome experience and feeling to say the least. Jack was filming Joe try back nosegrind to switch front crook. It was nuts. He got into a few of them. After several hugs with Jack I joined Joe. I don’t know why I haven’t skated there recently, it’s an amazing spot and the college kids didn’t seem to mind we were there. I did boardslide, noseslide, noseslide fakie, crooks, took a long time to get halfcab noseslide, failed at halfcab crook, then started trying kick back 50. I got into one and came to a complete halt. So I hucked a varial flip out that was kinda close. Joe kept trying his trick and would go through waves of getting close. He did a really easy flatground tre and it made me think they should be easy, I got one in about 8 tries. Joe also had some monstrous hardflips and heelflips. Joe eventually took a slam to his wrist and sat down, I did too. Jack started messing around and of course ended up doing a new trick. Feeble front shove to back 5-0. Wow. What a fun little session.
