skate journal: tired mellow huckfest at valmont ledge (sept 13, 2015 day 248)

so not close

Went to Valmont without much time and I was feeling really tired. I had wanted to go to Safeway ledge, but ended up not having enough time. I waxed up the ledge real good to start and it made my normal slappy noseslide routine more fun then normal. But then I went on to not land much and just get wax all over my board. I got most of my basics, but couldn’t do front tailslide. Had trouble getting up on the middle part for frontside grinds. Hucked kickflip noseslides for a bit, halfcab flips noseslides then hucked kickflip crooks for most of the session. I landed came super close to a switch flip at one point. I got into a couple kickflip crooks, but never locked in and grinded. It’s definitely way harder on a ledge then a curb. Duh.
