skate journal: brief ledge sucking with the slugs (may 22, 2015 day 138)

i hate this ledge

Wanted to skate a ledge and didn’t feel like doing research ledge once again. Figured Mikes Camera and Pearl ledges would be too wet on top so ended up at Iris ledge. I quickly remembered why I hate this ledge so much. It doesn’t look it, but the little slope before the ledge is too much for me. It took me like 20 tires to get on a front 50. I bailed my board into the bushes a couple times and once a slug landed on it. Wow, that’s never happened before. I was finally starting to get into 50s consistently when it started to sprinkle. Got a bad front 50 180 and a front tail stall. Then the rain came in strong. It was some of the worst I’ve skated recently.
