**In this mission came two new skaters who we don't normally go with. Luke Perine and Derek Spear were kind enough to offer their talents for the day. With a mutual desire to skate ledges, we tried out the famous Bell Intermediate in Garden Grove. Bell Intermediate ledges. These ledges can be seen in Circa's very own "It's Time" video. Dennis Durrant does bluntslide on the first ledge and kickflip nosegrind to fakie on the second as his beginning line. During the warm-up game of skate, Luke managed to push his board into a classroom door, setting off an alarm. Our hasty departure thereafter was fueled by the fear of additional tickets (we were recently ticketed at the Torrance ledges a few weeks ago). With no footage and a set of unfinished games of skate, Bell Intermediate became an instant failure. Only more problems arose when in search of a 9 rail. Fortunately, my 'Torrance local' friend gave us directions to the rainbow ledge. Joe & Pork @ Torrance ledge. Cody had a very successful session on the rainbow ledge, as well as Luke. Luke 50-50, Torrance. Joe and Derek however did not land their attempted noseslide and tailslide. Tricks landed by Cody in the session include: boardslide, back 50-50, and crook fakie to just the top of the ledge. Realizing that the ledge was much steeper and chunkier than we had earlier thought, Cody amazed us all with holding down a very determined crooked grind all the way to the end of the ledge. Cody crooked grind, Torrance.
**Note: In a stroke of luck, my three brothers and I have recieved a chance to skate the legendary city of San Francisco. However because of this there will be no skate mission on Saturday. I apologize for the inconvenience. Anyway, this will probably be our only chance to film in San Francisco, so I hope we get something decent. The blog entries for the trip will be put up 2 weeks from Friday (November 16th), showing 1 blog entry each day until all 6 are shown.
