I met Dave at this bank. He forgot his board and didn’t have much time to skate. We played a game of bank SKATE with my board. It was pretty fun. He got me on a rocket crail and I got him on kickflip tricks. He’s so much older than me. Ha. We did quite a few no comply, boneless, shove tricks. It was fun. It was hot. Then Dave left and I posted up the tripod in hopes of capturing me rattling off a bunch of flip tricks. When the kickflip to fakie (that I did first try in the game of SKATE) took 10 tries I knew I was in trouble. The b/s flip took awhile and the back bigflip took even longer. Ugh. After a quick front shove fakie I went for the dream trick hoping to get the hardest trick out of the way. Treflip. I couldn’t do it. Landed on a few. But nope. Ugh. I tried it for probably about an hour in the 90+ degree heat. When it was done I felt like I was going to die. I had run out of water and when I got home was borderline passing out. Lovely. That wasn’t good for my cold.
