Had kind of a mellow morning and my knees were so swollen I thought there would be no way I could skate.  But eventually we headed to Park am Gleisdreieck to hit the Tetris ledge spot.  We met up with Gabe at the skatepark.  I took a couple runs in the mellow bowl which was actually kind of fun until I hung up on a back 50 and dove to the flat.  It actually served as a good warm up.  Gabe and I went over to the ledge spot and it ended up being way more fun than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/2021\/11\/28\/skate-journal-sucking-at-tetris-pads-nov-21-2021\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/2021\/11\/28\/skate-journal-sucking-at-tetris-pads-nov-21-2021\/\">last time I skated there<\/a>.  Gabe was popping into some fast front 50s right away, noseslides, 180 50s, front 50 drop down to 50.  Oh but he had a loose axle nut and kept losing a wheel.  I was a little slower to get going, but skating alright.  Had some fun crooks, noseslide down to noseslide, front 50, almost quick up to nose manual.  Ben showed up with a crew.  Fria who they had just met in Berlin and Miles who was a dog park local for a while so that was cool.  Fria was jumping on front 50s quickly.  Miles was really spry popping up all the spots so easily.  Ben had a nice up up to manual and some fast back 50 attempts.  At some point Ben started filming Fria and Miles.  I had done some things I was happy with like finally a halfcab noseslide and noseslide down to noseslide and crooks one of the taller ledge.  Then I kicked off a really fun chain of events.  I got a slow front 50 shove out, Miles got 180 up to halfcab manual and then Fria got front 50 drop down 50.  It was awesome.  Before I could leave I made myself do a treflip, but I was really struggling.  I would eventually get a 270ish one.  It wasn&#8217;t pretty, but it was a nice cherry on top to a really fun session.  I did film Ben for a while trying to get a back 50 and Gabe used my board to do the front 180 fakie 50 180.  He also had a couple really nice treflips.  At the end a dude from France joined and had a really cool quick up to a taller pad to nollie 3 shove off.  Goodbye Berlin, I hope to see you again some day and still be able to skate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 8.25 flower, mob grip, venture 5.6 shake junt v-hollows, spitfire 51mm f4 99a classic, new balance numeric 288 b\/w no insoles size 11.5)<br>(pain level 4\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last day in Berlin.
