The relief of finishing the work week was great. Was heading to dog park after work, but then randomly remembered this spot and went there instead. I had brought my 8.3 with thunders instead and like anytime skating thunders the first time, I liked them. It was pretty cool out. Didn’t try many flippers, but I did pop more than expected. After some jibbing I did ollie more than expected. Didn’t really land much. Did get one line of ollie up, briefest noseslide a bench up top, ollie down the 2. It was not easy or graceful. Did the fun front nose stall to pivot. Tried to front tail tall to something on the lower curb, but couldn’t get the tail stall. Had some little grinds on the step. I wish I had brought wax because I still want to grind it to something on the ledge. Did some stalls on the ledge. All in all, pretty fun for a quick session after a long exhausting work week.
