On the coldest day of the season so far I had a busy morning, played some basketball with Ollie, ate some nachos, watched some football then got out for a quick session before some Christmas Tree shopping. It was in the middle 20s. And when the wind kicked in it was really cold. I haven’t been to this school for a long time. I wasn’t expecting a day that epic and I surely didn’t get it. I did have fun though. My favorite thing about that spot is doing tricks up/down the curbs after a ledge trick. I got close to back 180 up, halfcab noseslide then no comply 180 off. The other way I almost got kickflip up then front 50. That ledge is scary to 50 because each section between the stoppers is only like 3 feet long. The cracks mess with me too. On top of that I seem to have less pop then ever. Ugh. Other tricks ledge tricks I got were front noseslide (horrible), front board, crooks, noseslide, boardslide, noseslide fakie. Posed halfcab noseslide to fakie, front tail. After about 20 minutes the bushings had froze up and stopped turning. Ugh. That’s one of the worst parts of winter. I didn’t really land much, but I did actually try a few things that scared me and made me feel like I was pushing myself. I should go to this spot more, it’s fun. Maybe when it’s warmer and the wax actually sticks to the ledge.
