On a super cold night (about -9f) I met Nate with my box in the Steelyards parking garage. I thought that garage used to be warmer, but it was freezing. I guess there was water puddles instead of ice, but it couldn’t have been much more than 35f in there. Warming up was really rough and it didn’t help wearing a big coat and gloves. Eventually Nate and I both shed our jackets and ended up having a blast.Nate was did some crazy ledge tricks. \u00a0Back 180 nosegrind, back smith, nosegrinds like their nothing, 5-0s of course, switch front board and about a million front smiths. \u00a0I’m sure he did more, but it’s been a couple days and I forget.I ended up prolly getting more tricks on Ledgey then ever. \u00a050s, 5-0s, noseslides, nollie front tail (“nollie” is a bit of a stretch here – more like slappy, but whatevs yo), crappy front tail, halfcab noseslide, back crooks, back crooks fakie and fakie front nosegrind. \u00a0The funnest was doing some of these in runs though. \u00a0Got a first try run of front 180 a puddle, halfcab noseslide Ledgey, varial flip. \u00a0Another run was kickflip the puddle, crooks, bad backside flip. \u00a0Almost got another one with pop shove the puddle, back 5-o, but missed a treflip. \u00a0Tried to do fakie ollie a puddle, fakie nosegrind, fakie treflip. \u00a0Not sure I ever got the fakie NG in a run, but I know I didn’t get the fakie tre.We were both pretty tired, but before leaving we put the ledge down the curb. \u00a0Nate back 50’d it like it was nothing. \u00a0I got back board and back nose, but chickened out on the back crooks. \u00a0It was fun having to get to it because you had to ollie a puddle, ollie up the curb and get ready quick. \u00a0Nate got all Leo on it too and front 50, 5-0 and smithed up it. \u00a0Sick. \u00a0I bailed the front 50 up. \u00a0I was bummed at the time, but in retrospect I really shouldn’t be too bummed at not being able to grind up a ledge that tired. \u00a0We switched sides and both boardslid up it. \u00a0I even did one to manual. \u00a0Then I slammed hard trying it again. \u00a0Nate back 50’d up it like he was riding off a curb. \u00a0Sick. \u00a0At the very end we put the ledge out past the curb and ollied onto it. \u00a0Took me a few tries to get front 50 and that was the night. Fun. \u00a0Tiring. \u00a0Cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
