finally got that backtail to fakie on the bank to ledge at the park today. its a trapezoid shaped set up, so the ledge at the top is only 5 feet or so wide, so getting into it right at the beginning to make sure you have atleast a small amount left to slide. felt super good on the popping out too.
it was a good session over all. everyone at the park was hyping everyone else up, all strangers.
and i think i owe it all to the fact that i chose to wear the suede slip ons today instead of the halfcabs. their super broken-in-ness and casual styling resulted in calm and collected skating.
