Wowsers here we go. Three days of skating with Matt, Joe, Eric and Dan from Fremont/York Nebraska. These guys are as skate rat as it comes and the expectations were that they would skate well into the night. It started around 4pm at the Lafayette park which was the meeting place. I arrived first, Fremonsters next, Fuzz, Carleigh, Neil and more would follow. I don’t even know where to begin on trying to document all the skating. Everyone kinda did their thing for awhile. Matt and Joe were hitting the rails and hubbas pretty quick which amazed me after a 7 hour drive. I hubba session went down. Joe was doing front 50 so easy. Fuzz got it too. I could not commit. Doh. I was quite a bit bummed. Fuzz and Joe went on to do double front slips (Joe down, Fuzz bump to ledge). So sick! Carleigh, Fuzz and Neil carved over the China bank bench. Fuzz went frontside too. So gnarly. I struggled with fakie flips on the bank to get me motivated to carve over it, but I never got it. Dan got a sick front board 270 shove out, and I boardslide the bump to ledge. Matt was doing all kinds of tricks. Then we all seemed to hit the toilet bowl for awhile. Or at least most of us. Fuzz had super good ollies to front d on the rock (photo above). Eric, Fuzz and I rolled in over the parking blocks which was really fun. I got a front smith in the corner and front d on the parking blocks like Fuzz. Dan had the sickest fakie rock to 360 back to rock. Then a large game of SKATE/flatground session started with Carleigh’s girl friends and everyone. Joe landed his first ever heelflip. We played a game of SKATE and Dan did casper flip and I somehow landed it. I was super hyped on that. Also got a 3 flip and the win. The lights went off kinda soon.

So then we went to Street League park. Keep in mind I had already skated almost 5 hours. Yikes. Street League park was empty. Insane. Josh Steele me up with this there. Him and Richard could skate the park to it’s potential. Richard had nice back 5-0 and nosegrinds (photo above) without using the kickers. Joe had mad ledge tricks and boardslide the up/down of the little wide rail. Matt had long feebles on the flat bar, nollie crooks, nollie noseslide, a ton of stuff. I’m not remembering exactly what Dan did, but I’m thinking there was a front 5-0 to front board and maybe a front nosegrind to front board too. Neil was slaying it. Front nosegrind the ledge, boardslide down the little rail, lipslides on the ledges, ollie one foots, ripping. Eric and I messed around on the big kickers. We didn’t didn’t get many points, but we had fun. I got a sloppy kickflip to fakie front the high kicker to the low kicker. Eric was doing manuals up to side rocks and maybe even manual down. Josh came out slaying with lots of basics down the medium sized rail and some really gnarly slams. I got really frustrated on a kickflip from the upper bank to the lower bank. Finally got a couple. Got the bump to front 50 on the benches. Pretty fun. I should probably skate there more as the ledges are so good. I saw Matt front 50 like 30 feet to front tail. So sick. Josh did some amazing flatground to end the night. What a fun first day of their visit. I didn’t skate very well, but it was fun and just being around those guys is a hoot.
