It’s never fun to get sick on vacation. I felt run down, but wanted to skate because I’m Stubborn and I may never get to hit that park again. The little ledge was just so motivating. But man I felt bad on my board when I started. I started at the top with lofty ambitions of a line down into the lower area. But I  couldn’t shove or kickflip reliably.  Kids walking by asked me to kickflip even after I did one.  Eventually I got fakie bigflip then nollie big on the weird bank at the top of the snake run then a noseslide to fakie on the ledge.  Another line was crooks, axle stall the bowl, front 50 the ledge.  Then it was basically ledge time as lines were killing me with how run down I felt.   Would end up getting over 20 tricks.  Crooks shove was the highlight. I did a better crooks shove before filming followed by a better sw noseslide 270 shove.  I took way too long to get a back 50.  Didn’t get to any flip in attempts, front nosegrinds or intentional 5-0s. Oh well. It was pretty fun even if I felt delirious from the heat, hunger and sickness.
