skate journal: short ledge session with carleigh (Aug 3, 2010)

Another exhausted night.  Went swimming with the kids for a couple hours which was a blast, but very tiring.  Went to go skating when I got back, but ended up watching the new TWS video a couple times and almost not skating.  But Carleigh sent a text that she still wanted to skate after she skated Broomfield with TF.  We drove around a bit looking for a new spot then hit the ledge behind Safeway.  It looked dry so I put and entire test batch of graNULLa wax on it.  Other than it getting everywhere it worked really well and the ledge was going in no time.  Carleigh got a couple front 50, back noseslides and solid kickflips on flat.  I seemed to do my basic tricks pretty quick, but never landed anything else.  I tried a few halfcab crooks and failed miserably.  Basically only getting my shoe covered in wax.  Neat.
