skate journal: some baseline safeway ledge stalls and flatground fails (feb 21, 2025)

After a couple days of not skating or working out much I went skating after work. And wow did I feel off. I had drove around looking for a dry spot and found that the safeway ledge was dry. I used to love it so much almost 30 years ago when I first started skating with Jason. It’s not waxed up anymore, but it should be. It was tough skating a ledge right away, especially on rough concrete without much room around it. I did front and back axle stalls, pivots, back crooks stall, a sketchy front tail. First kickflip felt amazing. Taking forever to get a halfcab flip did not feel amazing. Was close on treflip too, but never got both feet on it.
