Last full day in Seattle.  Spent the first part of the day thinking it was going to rain then eating and doing some kayaking.  Fun.  Later on Josh and I went to the “Lower Woodland” skatepark on a nice evening.  The park looked pretty awesome and I was kinda cruising around the outside looking at stuff, rolled off a ledge and ate shit hanging up on part of a inner tube from a bike.  Awesome.  Second time skating in a row where I fell on my knee/elbow immediately.  I didn’t get too bummed this time though as this skatepark seemed way funner than Seask8.  Josh was killing it out of the gates.  Boardslide transfers over the spine, front lips, rolling in, back lips on the bank to curb, everything.  The park was pretty crowded and weird to get used to.  Lots of kids doing flyouts.  I had a few wallies up the ledge.  Had a run going where I would rollin off the ledge turn on the jersey barrier, carve around, back 50 the qpipe then attempt to tail transfer the spine, but I only tried that a couple times before some kids started playing SKATE in the bowl and hogging it.  I got a couple axle stall transfers on the weird bank to bank kicker thing and boardslid the tiniest rail in the park.  Then got in a rut of trying to ollie the euro and front 50 the bank to curb.  Both took a depressingly long time.  I never got the front 50 but got a 5-0 to tail slop thing.  Josh was kind enough to cheer for me in between his ripping.  He was doing lots of no complys on the kicker thing and front 50s on the tall ledge.  The front and back lips on the bank to curb as well as the ollie transfer over the far hip thing were my favorites that Josh was doing and he had them on lock.  He also managed to slam insanely hard trying to gap to manual up the euro.  Near the end of the session I was too tired to really ollie and was just trying to no comply up the euro.  I did get a little line of b/s flip on the lower bank of the kicker thing then a boardslide down the little rail.  That park is really fun.  Josh killed it.  I sucked, but that park has so much fun stuff I wish I could skate it all the time.  I hate how jittery and heavy my legs feel when I’m away from home and have to walk everywhere.
