However there were several people there playing basketball so I turned around and moved on.&nbsp; I ended up at a random nearby school that has a weird flagstone bench with gaps on each side, a sketchy butter bench against a bush with flowers, an alright curb, some decent flatground and a million stop rocks.&nbsp; I had brought out my old 8.25 with low trucks because I felt desperate to have better flippers.&nbsp; It worked.&nbsp; Although I did struggle to ollie up a curb with any confidence.&nbsp; Anyway I tried a line to get things going.&nbsp; Back tail a curb, kickflip on flat, ollie up a curb, ollie onto the bench.&nbsp; I never committed to the bench.&nbsp; I couldn&#8217;t last time I was there either.&nbsp; I hucked a lot of flippers.&nbsp; Got kickflip, fakie flip, heelflip, b\/s flip, halfcab&nbsp;flip, f\/s halfcab&nbsp;flip, close to varial heel.&nbsp; Hucked kick back tails on the curb for a bit and got really close.&nbsp; Did a bunch of crooks on the bench which was really fun.&nbsp; I did a few other tricks on it too, but they were even less good than crooks.&nbsp; I couldn&#8217;t get a front 50 on it to save my life.&nbsp; I was upset about this initially, but really that ledge is something I would normally never touch.&nbsp; Cracks, stop rocks, a family biking in the parking lot watching me.&nbsp; Yeah a lot of forces working against me.&nbsp; I left on peaceful terms even without getting the front 50.&nbsp; Then I watched Back To The Future with the kids.&nbsp; That movie rules and was the first skateboarding I ever saw.&nbsp; I got a skateboard shortly after that.&nbsp; 35 years later here I am still not able to front 50 a bench.&nbsp; Ha.<br>(setup 8.25 null curby deck, jessup ultragrip, venture 5.2 awake lows, bones medium bushings, 3 washers inside each axle, 1\/16&#8243;
