skate journal: cold exploring pearl google area (dec 15, 2022)

On a cold night I attempted to go skating. I did not feel that great and the windchill was not helping. I started cruising around the Pearl & 30th area and started on the two ledges in a row. Tried to get a line of a really slow kickflip, noseslide, boardslide. Never quite got the boardslide. Also got a noseslide to fakie, but couldn’t get switch front nose or crooks. I went under the road and checked out Google area for a bit. Not finding anything. Went into a parking garage that was pretty smooth, but totally vacant and creepy. Went to go back to the ledges, but the wind had gotten worse and was way too cold. Ended up in a different parking garage that was a little less creepy, but rougher. Found a little patch of smooth and made myself do 5 super slow flip tricks. I got kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, b/s flip and a terrible f/s halfcab flip. Was close to varial flip and nollie varial flip, switch flips spun around well too but I never got my feet on them. All in all a bummer session. Not feeling these dunks.
