Went over to pick Nate and we watched a new video called Rich Mahogany. \u00a0The first parts were awesome and we should have just watched a few and leave. \u00a0But we ended up watching the whole video and I think it kinda drained us cause I was really tired. \u00a0We started off at the white ledge parking garage, but didn’t skate the ledge. \u00a0We did quick ups to front board transfers up the sidewalk on the other side of the ledge. \u00a0I was having troubles landing ollies up the curb. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0We both got it eventually. \u00a0Nate popped out forward, I popped out to fakie the easy way. \u00a0I also ollied the curb down into the sidewalk which was surprisingly scary. \u00a0Especially considering how badly I was skating. \u00a0We ended up getting the boot and rolled to the new planter ledge in front of some new art studio. \u00a0We got some boardslide popouts pretty quick. \u00a0Nate did them frontside too and they were really sick. \u00a0We started trying lines with tricks up the curb then boardslide variations. \u00a0I was still feeling pretty weird on a skateboard and it showed. \u00a0I could barely kickflip up the curb. \u00a0Nate was trying pop shove up and totally slammed right in front of a car. \u00a0It looked painful and hilarious at the same time. \u00a0The people in the car slowed down to see if he was ok, but then saw me laughing and even Nate laughing so they moved on with confused faces. \u00a0I should also mention it was pretty cold out. \u00a0Lower 20s for sure. \u00a0So we took a break to heal up Nate then headed over near the St Julien for the wood benches. \u00a0I continued to suck and was getting really mad. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0We went over to a yellow curb to play a game of SKATE, but the concrete was bad so we just played curb SKATE which ended up being way fun anyways. \u00a0We had lots of the same kinda tricks you normally do in that, but at the end it was tied up at SKAT and we were trying harder tricks. \u00a0I tried kick front 50 and Nate was trying front smith shove out. \u00a0I kinda got mine although it was more of a front feeble slop. \u00a0After that I got a few slow kick back 5-0s and tried a front shove of the curb and SNAP went the board. \u00a0Doh! \u00a0We left downtown and stopped at Ideal Market on the way back since there is some super fun looking pyramid launchers now. \u00a0They were indeed a blast and we skated there for about 20 minutes. \u00a0I had to skate with my board backwards for the most part. \u00a0Wallies from the pyramid into the downhill of the driveway were a blast. \u00a0That place has endless potential, but the busy street kinda messes with it. \u00a0Right before leaving Nate made me try a back hurricane on a mini parking block and I got a couple. \u00a0Rad! \u00a0Overall I skated pretty bad, but at least there were some highlights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
