On a cool night I left my house to skate with no idea where I’d go. Ended up on Pearl and remembered this newish spot so went to check it out. Turned out the backside ledge was waxed up and had lights so I ended up skating that for about an hour. It’s got somewhat of a downhill approach, but it’s not too bad. Took me a while to get used to skating around random people again. Lots of cars stopped at the light right after the landing. I had forgotten wax like I always do, but luckily it was in good shape. Although I would have liked to wax is sooner where its lower. Noseslides were okay. Did a lot of crooks, a couple were some of my best in a long time. Bummer my phone had stopped recording those. Spent forever trying to get a clean back 50. That’s about it. It’s cool you can do a nollie bonk to manual at the start too, some small gaps. I didn’t go in the front because a lot of people were going in and out of the place and I didn’t want to get the boot. I didn’t land much and I was really sore, but it was still fun.
