skate journal: library spot with cass and jake (april 3, 2022)
On a cool morning I met Cass and Jake at the new library ledge spot. Jake and I were there first. Warm up line was noseslide tall ledge, front 50 low ledge, back board the flat bar. Then we kind of did our own things. I would get crooks quickly then lose them. The ledges are really good and the whole spot is a little roomier than I had thought. It seems like I had most tricks quickly then would lose them. Cass had some really good front noses and crooks to fakie. Him and Jake did fakie back tails. Jake would get fakie front crook, Cass didn’t but man he locked into a lot of them. Jake had a line of noseslide to fakie then fakie front nose. I did switch front nose then switch nose shove. I struggled with fakie 50s, front 50s, everything. Came really close to slow kick back 50s and got a couple halfcab boardslides. All in all I like the spot, definitely need to skate it more because the ledges are really good.
Later on I met up with Nullers. Watched Jack and Joe land heelflip tricks. Did a few fakie shoves then a slappy crook or two.
