Got off work early and The Mighty LZA had said she’d prefer if I skate right after work instead of after dinner. \u00a0Happy to oblige I was going to meet John at the 28th & Iris ledges, but he had to bail so I went to the ballparks knowing there is a decent chance Jason would meet up there. \u00a0He ended up having to work though. \u00a0There is a bunch of construction going on at the mall behind the ballparks so they had the sidewalk behind the ledges closed. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0I really like doing flatground lines to the ledges. \u00a0I went with the Broomfield “10 ledge tricks to get warmed up” theme. \u00a0Only problem is this ledge is twice as tall, chunky and the runway has lots of cracks. \u00a0I basically sucked. \u00a0Bad. \u00a0Crooks came easy again surprisingly though. \u00a0Well, crooks for a few inches that is. \u00a0Not the real deal where you lock in and grind. \u00a0I ended up getting ten tricks. \u00a0They were all basics. \u00a0Front noseslide to fakie (little if no slide), back noseslide, back noseslide to fakie, back crooks, back boardslide, front 50, front 50 front 180 out, back 50, halfcab back noseslide and lastly the one that took the longest, front 50 front shove out. \u00a0I was having problems with some weird truck shifting that felt like what Indy trucks do everytime you squat down. \u00a0I did force myself to try front 50s faster. \u00a0Sometimes I would, most the time I’d bail out and sometimes I’d just ride past the ledge laughing at how much I suck. \u00a0When it got dark I waxed up the ledge out front real good thinking it’s possible to boardslide around the bike rack. \u00a0Oh yeah, and I ollied the low part of the bike rack which took way too long. \u00a0Stupid cracks. \u00a0Five more days til 300. \u00a0I hope I make it because I’d really like to start resting my body a bit more and having more drive when I skate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
