leadville skatepark bump to ledge

Ollie and I stopped at the Leadville park on the way up to my mom’s house. The park was empty when we arrived. I took a less then thrilling run or two in the bowl before having some fun lines in the ‘street’ section. First run was a back axle on a bank, cali grind a wedge, ollie up the euro, roll in, manual up the little A ledge. Ollie kind of just cruised around lazily for a bit. Tried some tricks he used to be able to do, but since he doesn’t skate much anymore he doesn’t seem to care and he stopped. Doh. I started trying noseslide 270 shoves on the bump to ledge. It took awhile, but I did get one and I was quite happy about it.
