skate journal: lunch break at the ledge park (Aug 22, 2014)

Had a long work week and had a brief window of time where I could get out so I did. This park is like 3 miles from IBM so I went there. At first there were these kids there, but even worse were their mom’s standing right at the top of the bank so when I bailed a trick under them I felt extra old and dumb. Luckily they left after awhile. I had done a few lines. Mostly involving ollies over the flat bar and kickflip on the bank or a slow ledge trick. I really hate the one low ledge as it’s narrow with grass on the other side. Later on I settled into a couple things with ollie over the rainbow rail then front 50 up one of the escalator ledges. Coming back at one point I did the best treflip I’ve done in a long time. Last thing was trying to ollie up onto the tall ledge you can see the girl standing on. It’s so tall. I got close over and over again until finally making it once, but it was sketchy and I came off the side quick and didn’t ride away. Oh well. Way funner then work.
