John, Jason, Carleigh, Neil and Brian met at my house.  Fuzz and Lazer would meet shortly.  First spot was the ol’ bird bank in the tech center.  Things got started in typical fashion.  Neil pulling something out to ollie over and amazing everyone with how easy it is for him.  Brian building a wallride.  Carleigh skating hard and falling a lot.  Me feeling like I stepped on a skateboard for the first time in months.  Etc.  It was a good start though, everyone was skating pretty hard and making due with a mediocre spot.  John had a line with something like treflip on flat, ollie the Neil thing, back tail on the bank.  He wanted shove though.  Carleigh was ollieing a little crack gap then trying kickflip then f/s ollie on the bank.  Neil was doing kickflip then ollie his ollie contraption, no complies on the bank.  Brian was trying some crazy rock fakie wallrides.  I did a line that felt good for how early in the session it was.  Kickflip a little crack gap, ollie Neil’s contraption, b/s flip on the bank.  The b/s flip felt good because I didn’t pivot it at all for once.  I’m sure I made up for the lack of a pivot by not popping it.  John, Jason and I got into a fakie flat bank session while others were doing some wallrides on wood leaned against a dumpster.  Fakie ollies were hard then John and I started going for fakie front shove (John) and fakie flip (me) while Jason tried halfcabs and then full cabs.  Jason got all of his first and I eventually got the fakie flip, but it took forever.  I sat down to rest for a minute and thought we were leaving, but instead it was time to film Brian.  For some reason I complained a bunch about this and got in a sour mood over basically nothing.  It lasted the rest of the day though.Brian was trying frontside grinds on this and got one.  It was ridiculous.  Jason did some super sick powerslides on it too.  Fuzz and Brian also did boardslides to fakie, John and Fuzz joined Jason on the powerslides as well.  After this was break time.  Drinks, food, a visit to the Lafeyette park that’s under construction and a general feeling of crankiness and no motivation.We went to a nearby bump/hip spot that is really fun.  Fuzz, Neil, Jason, Lazer had some great ollies quickly.  Carleigh and I seemed to have lots of problems getting used to the spot.  Which is a bummer after how much fun and how well I skated it last time I was there.  Fuzz and Neil did some wallrides on a brick wall that looked really good.  Brian layed down to sleep right away and pretty quickly Lazer, Fuzz and Neil joined him for some beers.  It was just Carleigh, Jason and I skating.  Me sucking and Carleigh seeming very frustrated.  After awhile Jason slammed hard pushing and retired to his car.  Carleigh and I skated awhile longer.  I had finally gotten a couple good ollies landing in the downhill and didn’t feel like bailing kickflips so I started trying slow b/s bigflips which I’ve never done on a hip that I know of, and definitely never done a good one on flat.  It took awhile, but I eventually landed a really bad one rolling away at slightly over 45 degrees.  Sweet.  Carleigh had landed a couple good pop shoves and started trying kickflips.  They were supposed to be hard since she basically had it first try.  But .. it was not Carleighs day.  And after several tries I got out the camera to snap some photos thinking it would come soonArsty bailed kickflip shotSo bummed.Not even a goofy TF squad could cheer Carleigh up.  Especially when Neil pulled the ulimate dick move and said he’d do it first try to show Carleigh how easy it is.  It amazes me how clueless Neil can be sometimes.  I kept messing around with photos and eventually took my new favorite photo with the new camera:After Neil spoke up Carleigh quit for the day.  Some goofing around happend for awhile before we farted and went to dinner at the TF staple – 3 Margaritas.  It was a good meal with the highlight being the wait staff singing happy birthday to Carleigh and slamming whipped cream in her face.  Awesome.
