He&#8217;s a bartender.  He likes to make people merry.  He succeeded.  After another kind of mediocre breakfast (is DC known for having mediocre restaurants?) Bernie and I went to the last crime scene.  The brick bank area we found by the metro the day before.  It wasn&#8217;t as fun this time.  We skated it a bit, then crossed the street to a rough brick area that had some marble curbs and wallrides.  Bernie was on point with some good wallrides and manuals.  I sucked as bad as I could.  Below that building we found this weird brick 3 stair with a ledge going off it that Bernie front boarded first try and then ollied onto it and off.  Then he sat in good spirits while I pansied out of a boardslide for a long time.  Ugh.  Across the street into a parking garage for a weird yellow\/black painted ledge that was creepy and not so great.  I fell off some front noses.  Some walking, skating later we came upon this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/bern-butterbail.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/bern-butterbail-640x849.jpg\" alt=\"bernie butter bail.  say it 5 times real fast.\" width=\"640\" height=\"849\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/bern-butterbail-640x849.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/bern-butterbail-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/bern-butterbail.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Looks amazing right?  Unfortunately the bricks are the rounded edge type making for some hefty cracks that even filmer wheels would have trouble with.  We skated it though.  There were 4 of these.  Bernie did some long front 50s, front 5-0, probably some more.  I got some back boardlides, back noseslides and a few back crooks that felt decent.  Yeh I finally landed something.  Couldn&#8217;t get front 50 though, mainly because I can&#8217;t seem to ollie anymore and also the cracks were messing with me bad.  This was the end of the skating.  We found a couple more ledge spots that looked good and had good ground, but we were beat and needed to eat before heading to the airport. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went to a hockey party the night before that a friend of Josh&#8217;s was having.
