One of those nights where it’s still in the 30s, but felt colder.  I mean initially I felt alright.  I pushed for a bit and hit the sidewalk hill and ended up at the parking lot where Dave did the feeble transfer nose man. I started with some shoves and slappy stalls trying to line out to the dry yellow curb. Eventually getting a warm up line that made me happy of halfcab flip, smith stall transfer then ride down the median to front 180 off. Then I tried to manual off the 3 stair, but couldn’t do it. I settled for a little line of switch 180 off a curb then manual the downhill section, but not all of the way. It took way too long and for the record was the start of any doubts I have in Thunders. Then I went to the poorly lit Baker ledge. I couldn’t manual or nose manual that either. Argh. Got kinda close to back 50. Got a first try crooks and noseslides came easy. Front 50 was hard. My knees weren’t feeling very good. Some young kids showed up and kept going non-stop. I got my front 50 and bounced. Went to the nearby downhill curb. Tried to line out f/s halfcab flip then front 50 180 out. But I was struggling so bad with f/s halfcab flip that I just left and went home. It had gotten pretty cold.
