Met up with Liz&#8217;s sister&#8217;s boyfriend Julian at a train station on the way to Queens to hit Flushing Meadows. We peeped the big grate ledge then moved on to the nearby <a href=\"http:\/\/newyorkcityskateparks.com\/maloofflushingmeadows.html\">Maloof skatepark<\/a>. What a bizarre skatepark. It doesn&#8217;t flow like a normal skatepark at all. But if you treat it like a street spot (which I guess it is supposed to be) it flows alright. Julian doesn&#8217;t skate much and got wrecked right away so sat out the rest of the session. My first few ollies hurt, but after that I felt great. Manualled the top manny pad. Did a couple tranny tricks on the weird bowled in corner. Front 50&#8217;d the ledge off the curb, noseslid over the grate right away. Then figured more then anything I wanted to grind the ledge over the mini grate. I got crooks pretty quick then front 50 too. Both felt neat. I did quite a few of each. Took awhile to ollie the 3 stair, but it felt great.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2250-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"20 feet of gnar\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2250-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2250-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2250.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then we hit the main ledge. I tried to noseslide it for awhile. Got about halfway a few times and realized I probably didn&#8217;t have it in me to do the whole thing. Tricks over the grate are also way gnarlier then I thought. It&#8217;s a solid 7 foot flat gap. I posed ollies and b\/s flips over it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8010 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2264-e1595979976485-640x853.jpg\" alt=\"so fun\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2264-e1595979976485-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2264-e1595979976485-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2264-e1595979976485-38x50.jpg 38w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_2264-e1595979976485.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"4\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"background: url(data:image\/png; base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaacwaaaascamaaaapwqozaaaagfbmveuiiii9pt0ehh4gib4hibkchbwchbwchbydr+jqaaaachrstlmaba4yhyqsm5jtamwaaadfsurbvdjl7zvbegmhcaqbaf\/\/42xcnbpaqakcm0ftumfaaibe81iqbjds3ls6zs3bipb9wed3yyxfpmhrft8sgyrcp1x8ueuxlmznwelfoycv6mhwwwmzdpekhlhlw7nwjqkhc4uizphavdza2jpzudsbzzinae2s6owh8xpmx8g7zzgkeopuoyhvgz1tbcxmkd3kwnvbu0gkhkx+izilf77iofhry1nyfnb\/lqpb79drwoyjva\/davg9b\/rlb4cc+nqgdz\/tvbbbnr6gbreqn\/nrmdgaqeej7whonozjf+y2i\/fzou\/qaaaaaelftksuqmcc); display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/5xUC9fihKS\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3 flip to end an awesome session. &#x1f4f7; @thejulianthompson<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A photo posted by glen gillinghammer (@corpoglenny) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2015-07-30T18:34:26+00:00\">Jul 30, 2015 at 11:34am PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" defer=\"\" src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Then we found this crazy spot. Absolutely perfect flatground and this weird ledge. I started doing lines with a flip trick, front slappy on a waxed curb you can&#8217;t see in this photo then ollie onto the ledge and ride down it. It was so fun. I was rattling off my flippers. Halfcab flip, treflip, heelflip, nollie treflip, fakie bigflip. After ollieing onto it a few times I would try manual, but I never got too close to that. Tried a line of b\/s flip, halfcab flip, ollie on then front 180 off the last part, but that was scary. Ended with an amazing feeling treflip in front of the fountain while Julian snapped a photo. It was the icing on the cake to a great session (for me) and so awesome to see these famous spots that are a part of skate history. The long ledge over the grate is literally 20 feet long. Any trick that has gone down over that is amazing.<\/p>\n<p>(setup 8.1 null venture lights thunder bushings 52mm stf v3 nb# stratford 533 cream)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@corpoglenny might be on the team &#x1f310; Who owns your favorite companies? @null_skateboards OG on the OG logo and tee by @43shifty in the city #repost and photo creds to glens homie.
