Was still pretty sore even though I had an off day.  Got home from work and the new Mudhoney and Thermals LPs were waiting for me.  So rather then meeting Jack and Carleigh right away I had a couple listens, a brief nap and dinner.  Then I met them a this <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/UupQ0vv9MU\/\">bikepath<\/a> jump ramp <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/Uuldl4v9HS\/\">spot<\/a>.  I&#8217;m not as big of fan of this spot as those two, but it is pretty fun.  The downhill into the kicker is pretty fast, but sets you up perfect.  When I got there Carleigh was in her pouty-struggling-with-a-kickflip mood.  That changed soon though as Carleigh got a kickflip and then an even better kickflip.  Maybe the best kickflip I&#8217;ve seen her do.  So sick.  Jack did treflip, impossible, hardflip, backside flip, only threw his board once and eventually a switch front heel.  Dang.  I sucked it up and didn&#8217;t land anything, but a couple tiny ollies.  A little scraper b\/s 180 into the kicker was my favorite trick.  <\/p>\n<p>Then I went back to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/?p=5476\">ledge spot<\/a> solo.  I started off sucking for awhile and couldn&#8217;t kickflip to fakie on the little bank.  Ugh.  I kept at it though and eventually was feeling pretty good.  Got a line with a long b\/s noseslide then a kickflip to fakie on the steeper part of that little bank.  I was skating the ledge uphill too and did one of the taller front 50s I&#8217;ve done in awhile.  It&#8217;s kind of unrewarding to do tricks up it because you land without speed, but it beats just walking back up I guess.  I had quite a few treflips and a first try nollie treflip (yeah low trucks!).  Got a good crooks, tried some longer ones, but failed.  Couldn&#8217;t do halfcab noseslide because of the downhill scaring me.  Got a couple switch b\/s noseslides and sw front 180 to 50 and a front tail or two.  At the end I had a fun line just ollieing off the ledge, a kickflip over the frontside hip and then a horrible treflip on flat that had me laughing and thinking that I&#8217;m almost 40 and still having a blast skating.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Such a nice day.
