After a very long drive down from the mountains involving somehow avoiding a muliple car pile up due to ice and then carving pumpkins I escaped for a bit to get some skate on. \u00a0Went to Southern Hills as it’s close and such a good spot. \u00a0The weather was super nice. \u00a0Neil said he’d meet me after awhile. \u00a0I haven’t had a couple days off skating in awhile and my legs were still sore so I was real rusty. \u00a0I like trying lines there and this time I tried to include more than just the ledges. \u00a0After a couple basic ones I had a decent one for me. \u00a0Front board, ollie up the 2, kickflip into the bank, noseslide fakie. \u00a0Back crooks the picnic bench, noseslide to fakie the bench, halfcab noseslide (horrible) another bench. \u00a0Front 50, front 180 up the 2, f\/s halfcab into the bank, ollie onto a bench, ollie off. \u00a0Neat. \u00a0Neil showed up and cruised around too. \u00a0Like me he didn’t seem overly motivated. \u00a0For awhile I tried another run of fakie bigspin into the bank, fakie flip on flat, then fakie nosegrind a ledge. \u00a0Never got close to the fakie nosegrind. \u00a0At the end I started trying the hardest trick for me. \u00a0Ollies. \u00a0I wanted to ollie up and then ollie a gap, but I never did. \u00a0I could barely ollie up a bench with speed and survive. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0Not my favorite session. \u00a0I left, stopped at a gas station and saw someone skate by with a “All You Need Is Null” t-shirt. \u00a0Awesome. \u00a0Then it was trick ‘or treat time with the kids. \u00a0Fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
