Fullerton Up Ledge

After a failed attempt at a San Diego trip, we settled for the Fullerton Up Ledge. Although a bit of a disappointment with how things turned out, the Fullerton Up Ledge is quite the veteran in giving its skaters a decent session. In order to complement his earlier nosegrind nollie front shuv (summer '07), Joe landed a 5-0 (regular) front shuv. Derek Spear also graced us with not only his presence, but some footage as well. Warming up he landed 2 muscly crooked grind pop outs. Derek also had a hand at some technical variations by configuring a backside 50-50 sex change to switch frontside 50-50 to fakie frontside bigspin out... an inventive imagination.

Murphy Ranch

In desperation to session on a rainy day, Juan, Mikey, and I lurked through Whittier rummaging our minds for a good spot to set up the box. Chiropractic college had a decent roof set-up, so we tried there first. Warm-up tricks were being landed and we started to feel the flow of the box's foreign position (we're used to skating it at ramp flat). However, that was diminished when a security guard, truly dedicated to his job, gave us the boot; we tried reasoning with the man but he wanted none of it. The next contender was Meadow Green, an elementary school down the road with a 3 stair. This would have been great for lines had there been no teachers there. Finally, we found sanctuary from the rain at Murphy Ranch, which holds the gap Tony Cervantes ollies in the Zero promo video (La Habra local Drew Khemtongpru can be accredited with ollying this enormous gap as well). The long awaited box session is as follows:

Mikey - tailslide fakie, wallride to back tail fakie line, fakie switch nose grind, fakie switch lazy grind, 5-0, 5-0 kickflip out
Juan - smith, nollie crook, half-cab crook
