skate journal: willville with bratcher as the wind set in (march 22, 2025)

Somewhat early after my first day of snowboarding in a couple years I met Bratcher at Willville. It was pretty nice out, but the wind would gust hard at times. I had done a silly warm up line of switch nose jib, nose manual the grate, manual into the pad. Then we mostly skated the lower ledge. Jack put his phone right by the ledge, kinda funny. We managed not to hit it somehow. The switch noseslide 270 shove was first try, but other than that I struggled pretty bad. Had a couple flippers, but didn’t get past halfcab flip. Jack’s switch boardslide was so good. At the end I mostly got a nose manual and kickflip onto the pad.
