Eric compiled the phone footy we had. I wish it had more Ed and less Glen.

Wasn’t too hyped to skate flat, but it had rained a bunch so there wasn’t many options. I went across the street. I brought the putter. I went to the back area which was pretty wet at first. I warmed up with a few flippers. Hucked a few on the puuter. Then figured I’d hit Dave with b/s flip since I’ve never seen him do one and I know he can. I got one in a couple tries, but took about 10 tries to get a better one. I don’t really like how mine look. I wish I pivoted more which I know isn’t what most people think looks good, but I wish I did. I was messing around trying to ollie or manual this little brick manual pad on a crate. It was weird. After awhile I tried a super long line. Front axle the taller rock, noseslide the table bench, manual the bricks, kickflip the mini bank, ollie onto a curb backside, back 180 off, switch 180, 360 flip. I never got it obviously, but it was fun trying. I only got to the kickflip on the tiny bank once and blew it. I went on to get the treflip solo. I hucked quite a few other flippers while i was there. One of these days some new ones will feel possible.

Was driving to the research ledge and saw that they repaved the asphalt at this nearby building. So I pulled in and checked it out. An added bonus was a ton of brand new square parking blocks. This spot has a lot of options. I tried to pay more attention to flip tricks and started doing lines with flipper to warm up. First one was boardslide a parking block, kickflip on flat, noseslide to fakie the yellow ledge. Then ollie off the loading dock, nose jib to fakie, halfcab flip. I did some lines starting with f/s flip. They were still bad late pivot ones, but it felt good to try. Another line was heelflip, back 5-0 the curb (my fav trick all day as I never just quickly do back 5-0s), boardslide the yellow ledge. My favorite line was fakie flip (had tried a bunch of fakie varial flips and had to give up), fakie nosegrind the curb, halfcab crook the parking block (i’m not sure it technically was a crook, but i turned and put the truck on the block so i’m counting it and there is no camera to say it didn’t count anyway) then ollie low to high. I tried a half ass attempts at nosesliding off the drop, but never really committed. The metal ledge was too tall to 50. I tried no comply flip for awhile. I’ve never done it down a drop. It made it scary. I committed to a few, but never landed on it. I might go back or that one. After awhile I gave up and went to the research ledge. I did a noeselide or two, a bad crook then got tired and called it a day.
