The snow has kinda melted. \u00a0I felt like street skating and didn’t have a chance to get to skate until after it got dark. \u00a0Long past when anyone else I know seems to skate. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0But it ended up ruling. \u00a0I put my mp3 player on Murder City Devils and cuised around downtown. \u00a0I came upon a little curb high manny pad right away that I’ve never skated before and hit it up for awhile. \u00a0Took me awhile to do a manual, but I’m used to taking awhile to warm up. \u00a0I noticed a really tall ledge around the corner that was only about 2 feet long and had a fun run of a nose manny followed by a noseslide. \u00a0So hyped. \u00a0I turned around and almost got a kickflip manny to back it up. Sick! \u00a0I moved on since I had been there too long already.After some rolling around and walking around puddles I ended up at the low and narrow ledge that I was just happy to ollie onto and ride around once before. \u00a0Got it first try again today. \u00a0It’s about 15 feet long with a curve, about 10″ wide and it’s beveled weird. \u00a0I decided to dream and try a manual. \u00a0A few tries later I locked into a perfect one and rode away completely amazed. \u00a0I don’t land tricks like that. \u00a0So hyped. \u00a0I sat and giggled for a bit before moving on to the two stair then over to the nearby bank where I failed at some frontside slappies. \u00a0Then some dude came up and asked me if I had any “medicinal”. \u00a0I responded saying I had some Ibuprofen at home. \u00a0He was so confused. \u00a0I love messing with people like that. \u00a0I left because that dude was hanging out singing and being annoying. \u00a0I kinda cruised around downtown seeing what was dry and ended up near the white ledge which was wet. \u00a0Spotted a pile of snow to ollie off the sidewalk into the street. \u00a0I had to time it with the light and pedestrians, but after a few tries I got it. \u00a0It felt great because I was actually going fast and only took 2 tries. \u00a0I ollied a couple more various piles of snow and called it a night. \u00a0So hyped on the manny on the curved ledge and the spontaneity\u00a0of street skating in a downtown area. \u00a0I need spontaneity to keep skating every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
