Sun was out, took a little lunch break and hit scott carpenter. It was a weird start I didn’t have much focus, but found some different lines around and back 50s on the little qp felt so good. Had fun front 50s on the hump to ledge, bump to ledge, but struggled on the regular bench. A younger skater showed and managed to go non-stop trying front 50s on the top of the triangle ledge. He kept not getting it which was weird, but secretly made me feel better about myself. I tried back 50s on the hump to ledge. Never quite got one, but I did get an accidental back 5-0. So that felt good to at least get something new. I ended it on a line that took too long. Back 50 on the qp, kickflip the hump, accidental front 5-0 the bench. Happy I got out in the sun. Not so happy about how front 50s felt on the bench.

After a fun morning hanging with Sam and friends at their baby shower I went to dog park around 2pm. The temps were in the low 20s and no one was at the park. A couple people were at Valmont, but I was in the mood for ledges. I had gone back to an old fav setup – 8.25 with 5.8 ventures. It felt mostly great and very poppy, although I didn’t try many flipper because of the cold. I would go on to get most of my normal tricks. Had multiple front 50s on the cement ledge, front 50 shoves and 180 out on the green box pretty consistently. Back 50s on the lurb. Almost got a longer line of crook the metal bench, front 50 the green box, ollie on the lurb, back 180 off, halfcab noseslide. Other rare tricks were fakie 50 halfcab out on the curb and ollie the little kinked round bar. Was a fun session, I skated pretty hard. It was snowing at times, which was funny. I tried to record a front 50 shove on the green box and show the flakes coming down, but it didn’t really come out.
