Went to a hockey party the night before that a friend of Josh’s was having. He’s a bartender. He likes to make people merry. He succeeded. After another kind of mediocre breakfast (is DC known for having mediocre restaurants?) Bernie and I went to the last crime scene. The brick bank area we found by the metro the day before. It wasn’t as fun this time. We skated it a bit, then crossed the street to a rough brick area that had some marble curbs and wallrides. Bernie was on point with some good wallrides and manuals. I sucked as bad as I could. Below that building we found this weird brick 3 stair with a ledge going off it that Bernie front boarded first try and then ollied onto it and off. Then he sat in good spirits while I pansied out of a boardslide for a long time. Ugh. Across the street into a parking garage for a weird yellow/black painted ledge that was creepy and not so great. I fell off some front noses. Some walking, skating later we came upon this:

Looks amazing right? Unfortunately the bricks are the rounded edge type making for some hefty cracks that even filmer wheels would have trouble with. We skated it though. There were 4 of these. Bernie did some long front 50s, front 5-0, probably some more. I got some back boardlides, back noseslides and a few back crooks that felt decent. Yeh I finally landed something. Couldn’t get front 50 though, mainly because I can’t seem to ollie anymore and also the cracks were messing with me bad. This was the end of the skating. We found a couple more ledge spots that looked good and had good ground, but we were beat and needed to eat before heading to the airport.
