Rob/Neil/Fuzz edit of the footage from Neil’s GoPro during his visit a couple weeks ago. Fun!

Met Rob and Dave at Blue Skies on a warm afternoon right after work. My body didn’t seem to be working very well initially and I felt like it took me forever to get going. We mostly skated the bank it seemed. Rob had his groin pain going on so he wasn’t skating the same way he normally does. It was pretty cool though he was doing tricks like no comply wallies and even put one onto front 50 on the snake rail. He did b/s no comply bigspin and b/s no comply fingerflip on the bank. Dave had some pretty awesome kickflips to fakie to hands down slides that were makes. And a clean one too. We both tried switch flips too. I was nowhere near close and my switch pushes up to it were horrible. Dave got really close a few times. I was also trying noseslide front 270 shove out on the ledge and had some really close ones. I would love to learn that trick. After a good treflip night a couple nights before I was 1-20 or something like that. Ugh. Rob and Dave left and I went up to the rink to skate flat. It was sprinkling a little off and on. Almost too much to stop, but not quite. I rattled off a few basics right away and thought I was in for a good session. Alas I got to heelflip and hit a brick wall. Treflips were bad too. I hucked a lot, but rarely landed anything. I did get a line of varial flip, f/s flip, fakie treflip which sounds great on paper, but it was slow and the f/s flip was extra bad. I struggled to get a nollie tre, couldn’t do f/s halfcab heel, close to nollie f/s flip, close to nollie bigflip, not close on switch tricks. Oh well.

Was super exhausted and sore and didn’t feel much like skating. So I just pushed over to the bike path and enjoyed the quick downhill ride. It was fun and almost got me hyped enough to keep going to Wilville and keep skating. But instead I pushed switch home and called it a night.
