skate journal: research ledge for the first time in a long time (june 19, 2026)

Biked over to the research area after work on a nice warm Friday. Ended up mostly just skating the ledge area. It was better for slides than I would have thought, not so good for grinds. Tried a line for a while of noseslide to fakie then halfcab flip in the street. Never got the hc flip. Ugh. Oh yeah, I had 8.5/14.25 with thunders. Never really did more than that. Did get a couple crooks, sw front nose, sw nose. Had a couple sketchy slams trying to front 50. Had a b/s flip in the street then sw 180 then ollie up the curb and failed the crooks. It was a fun session even if I really didn’t land much.
