I parked by it, did a couple of noseslides and moved on to get warmed up before coming back.  Ended up at the nearby alley with the bolted red metal ledge.  Did a line of 180 on the brick to concrete bump then switch front nose.  Tried nollie front 180 to start.  Totally did the splits right in front of some people.  Somehow it didn&#8217;t hurt at all.  I had a setup change which may have contributed to the problems.  8.3 with slace.  Mostly disliked it.  Did get some nollie 180s and tried to follow with halfcab nose, but the darkness was too weird.  Went over to WF and had some fun on the qp.  Although the front pivot fakie took way too long and gave me a hot pocket as I kept slipping off the griptape.  Went to the ledge, had some fun noseslides.  Took too long to get a crooks and was reminded how little I like ace\/slace.  So yeah, not the best night didn&#8217;t do a single flip trick.  But street skating is always at least a little rewarding.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 3\/10 8.3 keyhole 2, cheap pepper grip, slace 8.5, 50mm tablets, converse fastbreaks grey size 12 half insole and currex runpro insoles)<br>(pain level 6\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a surprisingly nice evening I went downtown with the main goal of skating the newish ledge.
