On a cloudy morning Kevin was asking if we were street skating or hitting parks so he knew whether to wear pants or shorts.\u00a0 Ha.\u00a0 Since it was cloudy I was in the mood for streets.\u00a0 But by the time we got to a spot the sun was out and super bright.\u00a0 We started at the case logic bank.\u00a0 It’s just a little mellow bank to serve as a warm up which it did pretty well.\u00a0 I was alternating between 8.5\/6.1s and 8.3\/5.8s and ended up on the 8.3.\u00a0 Kevin was going between his normal 8.25\/5.6 and a new 8\/33 setup and ended up with his old one too.\u00a0 I got a quick kickflip to fakie, Kevin got a quick nollie flip.\u00a0 Nothing out of the ordinary for either of us there.\u00a0 I couldn’t do a b\/s flip on either setup and it made me mad.\u00a0 I couldn’t get a back heel either.\u00a0 Argh.\u00a0 Kevin had done some nollie front 180s out, back 180s into the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then we went to the nearby ledge spot which did not have nearly as much shade as I hoped.\u00a0 Kevin got the hang of the spot quickly.\u00a0 50s, manuals, tailslides.\u00a0 He was not affected by the tightness of it like I was.\u00a0 I actually got really upset at how badly I was skating and had a nice tantrum throwing my board like a baby.\u00a0 It seemed to help though.\u00a0 I didn’t land much of anything before Kevin was ready to try a line.\u00a0 I didn’t want to just film so we agreed on rotating and I came up with something.\u00a0 I actually got it first try.\u00a0 Ollie onto the pad, kickflip off, front nose 270.\u00a0 Except that I was barely moving for the nose”slide”.\u00a0 I was kind of happy though.\u00a0 I would try to get a better line by doing front smith or back 180 nosegrind on the ledge.\u00a0 Kevin was trying back tail, manual, back 180 nosegrind shove.\u00a0 He would never quite get it.\u00a0 After several tries I started getting a pain in my ankle.\u00a0 Apparently I must have rolled it on the inside or hit the axle to my bone because I could barely walk.\u00a0 Argh.\u00a0 Kevin eventually gave up too as the heat and pain were too much.\u00a0 Doh.\u00a0 We left defeated and hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
