is the river ledge gap the one at bridgehouse over the rail, or am i thinking of the wrong thing?
Fek. I think I confused that one too. The one down on the river walk over the glass maybe?

If they're expecting people to be doing the ledge-to-ledge over the rail... they're fucked up. I've only ever seen an ollie go over that. What else would there be though?

And yeah, Picasso is effed from Christkindlesmart (smells delicious though).

If I do rat race... my go to trick for gaps will be a boneless.

pretty sure the river gap means a ledge trick over the grass/mud.

If you go early, you could get at the very least 5 tries. That place is a ghost town on a Sunday morning.

Does anyone know when that free indoor park was supposed to open? Thought it was supposed to be this winter for some reason.

Negative.  That entire project was completely scrapped some time ago.  Daley threw the idea out there on his way out the door, and Rahm is having none of it.  $$$$$

Doesn't really matter right now since it's still dry enough to skate in fucking December. I don't get it, it snowed on time in Minnesota according to facebook.

I saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down

What are some things you all would want to skate? Think like, single obstacle dots more than a plaza/park. (Any sketches would be good)

Btw, who's down for meeting up downtown on Monday? Supposed to be 34-40 and clear.

Anybody know of some good spots around North Lawndale, I want to get in as much shredding as I can before it starts to actually snow.

Soooo Rat Race is still going on... anyone feel like knocking it out with me tomorrow? I have a bit of intel on things that count. Message me if you're down.

And in related news, I'll be at NB in about, oh, an hour or so. Let's get out there before Snowpocalypse Reloaded hits

The video is kind of dark so I can't really tell, but it looks like Kevin just ollies the Monroe gap. Are ollies kosher? When it said "trick" I assumed it had to be something other than an ollie.

Also the "drainage pipe" or whatever at sea wall, I thought they meant the big one with the iron cover, not the holes for the walkway above. That's a huge difference.

From looking at the two videos, I'd say that ollies are fine. If they're not, just throw a boneless. Then it becomes "can you jump the gap?".

And yeah, clarification on what we have to go over would be pretty convenient. I originally assumed the iron cover as well.

On a somewhat related note, I don't know how Ken managed a FS wallride on Picaso without slipping out. That shit looked mad wet.

OK. So the weather today is too good to miss out on. If anyone wants to meet up downtown or do Rat Race missions, message me with times that would work for you and your number and we'll make it happen.

^Don't understand how people can skate at a lock in. I can't do shit when I'm tired/running on caffeine alone. I may be there though, can't wait to see more Thomas footy.

I bought a full crate of Cuties, some beef jerky, water bottles, and protein bars and put em in a locker. Another way to do it: get there and go to sleep immediately. Then wake up later in the night (1AM?) and get your post-nap shred on. I might be there for an earlier session that day.
