Got out of work and it’s still light out. \u00a0Awesome! \u00a0Doesn’t mean it was warm though. \u00a0Met Jason and Nate at the 30th & Iris ledge. \u00a0One of my least favorite ledges only because I totally suck at downhill spots. \u00a0 Nate was doing good back \u00a050s and front 50s before Jason or I even touched the ledge. \u00a0As usual it took me about 10 tries just to get on a 2mph front 50. \u00a0Pretty early on Jason slammed really hard on a back 50 and bounced his tailbone on the ledge. \u00a0Ouch! \u00a0After that him and I skated down the hill of the bike path. \u00a0I was trying to get some slides in and hit the ledge. \u00a0The sidewalk isn’t very smooth so slides destroyed our wheels. \u00a0Jason didn’t care as his setup is pretty old. \u00a0My wheels are only a few days old though. \u00a0I had been trying kickflips into the downhill then two power slides before trying a front 50 on the ledge. \u00a0But I didn’t get it until I skipped the first slide and just did a longer slide (with all my weight directly on my front left wheel) and got the front 50. \u00a0I was pretty hyped for sure. \u00a0Granted the powerslide slowed me down too much and I flatspotted my wheel really bad, but it was still a blast. \u00a0Jason took off after this as his back was shot. \u00a0Nate was getting tech. \u00a0He got front smith, front tail, fakie nosegrind and probably more. \u00a0I don’t really like to skate that ledge stand alone very much because it bums me out. \u00a0I found a little pile of snow about the height of a curb and a foot long or so and would start lines out by kickflipping over it. \u00a0I think I may have done one of my best kickflips ever at one point. \u00a0Felt so good. \u00a0I got a few runs. \u00a0Something like kickflip over the snow, front 50, varial flip. \u00a0Kickflip over the snow, front 50 shove, bail. \u00a0I almost got one line with a front 5-0 and then 3 flip, but bailed the 3 flip. \u00a0Coming backside I did lots of halfcab flips that felt good, some bad crooks and hucked some kick back tails. \u00a0It ended up being a fun session although I hurt my calf in my back leg while pushing. \u00a0I decided that would be my last session on the floppy Herman 2s as pushing shouldn’t hurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
