manual to over the shoulder boulder holder

Man, I don't know what this morning will bring, but I most certainly hope it's frontside tailslides to fakies. I was skating through Univ Cit a few ago and when it was warm out. I did shifties all the way up Locust Street, past the fuckin red Dwarf or whatever it's called. Got no beef with that place, but I do have some beef with the VIDEO LIBRARY. I actually didn't mean to have that on caps lock but looking back I think it reiterates the BEEF. Fuck the video libary.
They moved outta town some months back and they were pretty "whatever peasants" about it. I personally looked at the sign on the window, "We moved to 16th and Passyunk, clear across the country of Philadelphia, but, yo, your credit is still good."

All that aside, up the street and to the right from there at 40th and Spruce I was doing half moon manuals on this section of steppage. Semi circle manual, 1/4 switch g-turn, whatever you wanna call it. I may be the only dude manualing this bit 'o slab. I mean, I'm sure there is a dude with flip flops on a long board skating by and not looking at it at all. Maybe that's his version of a skateboard maneuver. Check the fly hun-huns out across the street. Slice of pizza to mid term.

Here's a photo of the sneakers, at FDR. I'm pretty sure it's a secret sign, signaling the various types of drugs you can get at the park. The most popular one seems to be 100% pure adrenalin followed up by a hit of just plain fun.
I celebrated the 50 degree temp and absence of snow on the sidelines with a switch 180 ollie followed by a frontside shuv. I threw in a 180 no comply for good measure.
For dinner I made roasted potatoes, asparagus and buttered round eye steak. It was cool, man.
