Met up with Chris Jones at MRKT then went up to Northside.  There was a guy there with pink griptape and hair that looked like Greg Harbour’s.  Oh wait, it was Greg!  Sick sick sick!  Talked to Greg for awhile and tried to skate.  Everyone there is so good.  I dorked around with my normal wallie line, but couldn’t even do an axle stall on the jersey barrier.  After awhile Chris, Greg and others were sticking to the pole jam doing crazy variations.  I was trying boardslides on the mustache and could not come off the end.  I ended up eventually just sliding and coming back in which felt funner anyway.  We left and Greg had to bail.  Chris, Bonner, CJ and I went to the weird banked alley with the tall ledges.  I dorked around with frontside wallrides for awhile.  Bonner did a cool front 50 stall bigspin out.  Then I went to filming Chris.  He did a front pivot bigspin out and worked for a line of front pivot, manual a tall ass ledge, kickflip a manhole into a weird gutter.  It’s a sick real street skating line, but I messed up the filming pretty bad on the manual so he had to do it again.  Next time I didn’t mess up the filming as bad, but it’s definitely not good.  We left and played a couple game of SKATE as it was getting cold.  I still felt foreign on my board.  Nothing felt good at all.  Not even kickflips.  He beat me in both games.  I think the only tricks I did that I was in any way hyped on were halfcab flip and treflip.  I hate when I feel so old.  Chris won the second game with front late shove.  Man that trick is cool.  I wish I could understand that one.
