Carleigh and I rolled up around 8 on a really nice night. The park wasn’t too crowded, but everyone that was there was skating. Or I guess biking. I really don’t understand why people would bike at a skate plaza with low ledges anyways, but whatever. I wanted to warm up in the bowl with a grind on the little qp on the top, then a grind around the corner after. This took a long time and pissed me off. Then I continued sucking in the street course. Carleigh seemed to be skating decent. 50s, boardslides on the black ledge all easy. Almost front shoves out of the bank. I started trying the step up for the first time and it’s really awkward. It took about 7 tries for me to finally land it. It was funny because somebody gave me a sympathy “yeah” and Carleigh said I looked so bummed so she laughed. Ha. After that things got better for me though. I got a run with boardslide down the ledge, back 50 the black ledge (haven’t landed that before there) followed by front 50 front shove out on the black ledge. I made myself ollie over the tiny rail into the bank again. It took a bunch of tries and I still can’t land in the bank with enough angle to not run into the grass. I came close to getting front smith on the black ledge too. Carleigh was working on kickflips into the bank and came close to a bunch of them. I started skating the lower area after making myself ollie the six stair. It took a couple bails this time before I put it down. Carleigh ollied the double set like it was nothing then went on to pop shove. I got a line on the lower part that hyped me up. Manual down the angled blue ledge (never done that before), front feeble the qp, back 5-0 the blue ledge then nollie treflip shuffle (counts!). Carleigh put down the pop shove all sick. I started trying kickflips over the tiny rail, but the high school kids took over and started lighting the rail up with deodorant and being generally annoying. I might have actually committed to that, but who knows. At the very end I finally ollied over the tall part of the rust ledge and into the bank. I’ve wanted to do that for awhile. All in all it ended up being really fun, I just wish I could warm up faster sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
