skate journal: lunch break at the ledge park (Nov 4, 2014)

Posted in New Deck, Skate Journal on November 4th, 2014 by corpo

Shortly after lunch and a meeting I bailed to the nearby park. It was sunny and warmer, but still cool with a crispness in the air. I felt stiff, but I suppose it gets old reading that every time. Anyways warming up went somewhat ok. Had some better then usual front 50s on the little ledge and ollied the flat bar way quicker then normal. Ollies were rough though and the tall stuff there wasn’t working. I couldn’t get on the tall ledge. I tried filming like Neil does for a minute and above is seriously all I got. I didn’t feel like dealing with the angles and hitting record so I stopped. I couldn’t ollie the little part of the angled ledge. I tried getting over it at a taller point though. Got one flatground treflip. Came remotely close to some really slow bigflips. Had some front boards on the flat bar that may have slid over a foot. Believe it or not I’m hyped on that. I really like skating this park by myself. I skate different then I would around others. It’s fun. Maybe I’ll get better at taller stuff, maybe not. But it’s way funner then just going to the gym at work.
