Another super hot day. Carleigh is still on IR, but said she wanted to hang and film. So John and I decided on the gnarliest 2 stair/curb spot in town. It took us awhile to warm up and the wax was like a puddle on the curb it was so hot. John had some slappy tailslides early. I got one fsng on the curb and backed it with a really bad no comply 180 off the “2” (2 is in quotes because it’s the smallest 2 stair ever). This is the first nosegrind I’ve done on cement and not at a skatepark. Neat! We started doing lines up too. John was doing front 180 up, halfcab flip, but struggling with the halfcab flip. I posed a couple kick back tails to see if I could get close and ended landing one of the three in my life that actually locked in and slid. The camera came out, but I had a feeling I had already landed my good one. John did get a line, but I’m not sure how hyped on it he was. I had trouble with the kickflip up, had a few heelflips to back it, got really close to kick back tail, but never close enough. John slammed super bad (above) and we decided to move on.

After some Xing Tea and a break we ended up at this bank spot. John and I each got boardslides. John almost got a crazy feeble grind. I kind of landed a crook/nosepick without a grab, but definitely slammed (above). Fun day, frustrating that we could film that much and not land what we wanted to, but oh well. We skated hard and had fun. Thanks for filming Carleigh!
