Jason biked to my house on a nice night then I drove down to the manny pad. \u00a0We warmed up for a bit as the last few minutes of sunlight dissolved. \u00a0For maybe the first time ever we both landed our first manual attempts. \u00a0It took me a few tries to get nose manny and Jason came close to that trick too. \u00a0I got a heelflip up the curb first try and thought I could back it with a heelflip manny, but ended up not being able to even get the heelflip again. \u00a0Love it. \u00a0Other then that I got a kickfrip manual, fake bigspin up, and was trying nollie shove manual when we left. \u00a0On the way out I took a few tries to get the stupid tiny ollie ollie up the two curbs. \u00a0So bummed.We cruised up Walnut like the old days. \u00a0We used to warm up at the manny pad a lot then cruise up Walnut. \u00a0But now Walnut isn’t so great so we walked here and there. \u00a0Jason seemed to be more in the mood for sleeping and backed it up by not really skating anything for another hour or two. \u00a0It’s so weird skating with someone who doesn’t seem hyped at all. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0I guess some people would probably blame me for enjoying crappy spots too much, but I’m not gonna apologize for enjoying skateboarding. \u00a0So anyways, I skated, Jason kind hung out and sat around, bitched, watched, texted, etc. \u00a0 I had fun at the median spot across from the bus station. \u00a0I tried front 180 nose manuals, kickflip manual, kick back tails unsuccessfully. \u00a0I had fun in the brick area for a bit trying flip tricks and ollieing onto the narrow ledge around the flowers. \u00a0I got a couple front 50s around the knobs on the red ledge, back 50s and even a couple front crooks to fakie using the wall \u00a0It’s a lot harder to manual with all the flowers sticking out. \u00a0I did a couple mannies and noseslide the tall two stair ledge I skated once over the winter. \u00a0I was happy that the ledge didn’t seem nearly as tall. \u00a0 We hit the alley kicker for a bit. \u00a0I got a couple mediocre ollies, back 180, crappy b\/s flip, slammed going fakie on a rock. \u00a0Jason did a couple ollies.We ended up at the white ledge spot and Jason finally skated. \u00a0We both got some back 50s. \u00a0He does them way higher up further than me. \u00a0Jason got a good noseslide too. \u00a0I ended up getting a few crooks which surprised me. \u00a0Not sure if I’ve ever tried them there before, but it worked out pretty good. \u00a0I grinded a lot further then my typical little jib. \u00a0I ollied the yellow curb into the lower sidewalk. \u00a0It’s not much of a drop, but it is fun. \u00a0Then we both started trying lines. \u00a0Jason got ollie, back 50 easy. \u00a0Then he did it with a little quick up to front board transfer on the yellow curb. \u00a0Tight. \u00a0I had a couple crappy ollies followed by crooks and then would bail a 3 flip. \u00a0Eventually I tried front shoves and ended up putting down a good run for myself. \u00a0Front shove, crooks pop out then 360 flip on flat. \u00a0That really hyped me up.We headed out to stop by Carleigh’s new place. \u00a0I’m not sure which route Jason went, but I decided to hit a few things on the way. \u00a0Front 180 up onto the ledge behind Wells Fargo followed by sw fs 180 off, back 180 up some curbs, back 50 the red knobbed curb, manual a median, manual up the bust station median, etc. \u00a0Fun way to end it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
