It was hot and the ledge didn&#8217;t grind well.  We struggled.  Jake managed front tail to fakie, halfcab noseslide, a front 50 that took way too many tries for him to be happy, front 5-0 and ended on a back 50 that also took a long time.  I got a crooks jib, halfcab noseslide, front 50, front 5-0, some bad front noses.  Tried to ollie onto a different ledge and kickflip off, but didn&#8217;t really get the ollie up.  Hucked kickflip noseslides for awhile and got remotely close.  Dave showed and we pretty much just left.  Doh, sorry Dave.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_20140901_152001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_20140901_152001-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"rearry steep\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_20140901_152001-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_20140901_152001-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_20140901_152001.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We went to this new spot.  Those banks are steeper then they look.  We started off slow not knowing what the spot would entail and it turned into a really fun session.  Dave and Jake jumped over a large cable spool via hippy jump and ollie respectively then did front tail and pivot fakie.  Sick.  Dave also feebled a sketchy flat bar.  I got a halfcab flip and then a pivot on the bank coming down past the wood.  Neat.  Then we skated flatground for awhile and Jake did a bunch of heelflips which he hasn&#8217;t landed in years.
