I didn’t do anything on Sunday and it was great. But I felt pretty out of it still Monday after work where I met up with Paul, Sean and Rob. I had a mixed session of weird flailing and some decent stuff. New things I got were front 50 the curved part of the C ledge finally, front 180 up the ledge then switch 180 off. Skated hard though and posed some stuff I hadn’t done before and seemed to skate a bit faster. Rob was ripping with nollie lipslides, shove lipslides, manual back 180, back 50 back 180, halfcab boardslide and more. Paul added switch 50s to his ledge game. Sean did his infamous line of back nosegrind then kickflip nose manual. It was so nice out, hard to leave, but everyone seemed exhausted.

Oh man. I haven’t edited the video yet and thinking back on this day I cannot believe I thought it was a good idea to try it. It had snowed overnight and we needed to squeegee the park just to even skate. I had skated for what seemed like an hour before filming even started and I was feeling a great deal of anxiety about the whole thing. Finally I just started asking people to film and it began with Paul showing me up on some slappy crooks variations. Things were going incredibly slow for a while and I think after like 3 hours I was only at like 18 tricks. But then Jack arrived as a mostly full time filmer and it really got going. I think my favorite personal trick was kickflipping onto the C ledge and also a heelflip 3rd try. A couple of my favorite show ups were 180 a parking block then Sean 180’d the hydrant, me doing fakie 50 then Rob doing halfcab 50. After about trick 40 I started to go cross eyed due to being dehydrated with bright sunlight. I was a mess and kind of stopped caring if people were showing me up or not and just did a few more tricks to get to 50 or more (hopefully). Brutal day. I will not be doing it again. Especially because the next decade would be 60! Huge thanks to my friends for participating in such a silly idea, skating all day and filming. Video soonish.
