Brief early am ledge fix before the in laws arrive.

Running later then I wanted I had about an hour to skate and went to the research ledge. Warming up wasn’t easy and took longer then normal. I started with a few powerslides down the hill, then noseslides and boardslide pop out on the ledge. Got a warm up line of pop shove, ollie up the curb, crooks and then manual the long pad. I was surprised by the manual. Also did halfcab flip, front 180 up the curb, switch front 180 on flat then back 50. Went for it all with a line of 360 flip, kickflip up the curb, back 50 shove. Got really close, but never got a locked in back 50 where I could shove out. I was going a little faster then normal so the back 50s felt scary. Got front 50, halfcab noseslide. Ended on a crooks that took longer then I wanted it to. This ledge isn’t as good as it used to be.
