Had Saturday off so I went to a local park to play some baseball with some friends, & brought the Hornet along. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's a common skate spot because of the large number of open stair sets, gaps, rails, & ledges. Found a spot with stretch of grass about 10' long leading to a 4.5' ledge, & at the bottom of that drop is about 6' until another ledge, ~3' down. Busted my ass pretty hard several times trying to find a way down both of them, finally decided the easiest way in this case was to stop parallel right next to the edge of the first ledge & bunny hop sideways down to the bottom, then get some speed running parallel to the second ledge & manual off at an angle. Never even got the first drop without busting my ass, but I was able to get the second when I started on it. Danny Macaskill makes this stuff look so easy I had to make time for baseball & longboarding as well so I didn't have much time to try any other features, but next time I have a day off with four wheels available, I'll definitely be heading back with the GoPro.
