These two awesome people picked me up on a windy Sunday afternoon with no real plans that I know of. We ended up at the steep banks – aka the Neil banks – aka Inotech (not quite Initech from Office Space). No one seemed overly hyped on the spot and Jack and I dorked around on bank wallie to sidewalk stall to trick back in. I never landed anything, but Jack got a wallie back 50 shove it to axle stall or something crazy like that.

We moved on and ended up at the weird basketball court/skatepark near Neil’s house. Neil even joined us for a bit and landed a rare (or maybe his first ever?) nollie nose manual. I had a blast. I’m not sure why I found it so funny, but everything was making me laugh. Neil falling, Jack doing wallie 180s sidweways up a ledge or hanging up in the crack between picnic table boards, everything was funny. Even when I fell which I did a lot of. Fortunately for me if I’m falling that normally means I’m actually trying stuff that hypes me up. I had a couple lines on the little curb like kickflip up, b/s flip off. Front 180 up, f/s halfcab flip off. Got a line of nose manual the little one, then ollie up the taller curb and then a board stall transfer up onto the top of the ledges and go the other way and ollie onto a picnic table. I did quite a few kick back 50s and started trying shove it’s out and got a sketchy one. I was super hyped. Last thing for me was an ollie onto the table and front 180 off. It was propped up after the tall ledge so it wasn’t much to get on it. Carleigh did some of her first front 5-0s ever, posted up front tailslides, came somewhat close to shove out, did some back 50s and hucked a lot of flip tricks. Jack seemed to be having a blast too. He had a lot of funny falls too. He tried a lot of drop down 50s, did a crazy late shove to disaster from the upper ledge to the lower one, tried to no comply up from the low curb to the top ledge, and a lot more that escapes my mind right now.
