On a really nice night I picked up Matt and we met Nolan, Darin and Dave at Erie park. It was crowded when we arrived. Well, maybe not crowded, but certainly annoying. High school flyout kids, little biker kids doing laps, tech deck kids and a few rippers. Matt and I weren’t hyped. Nolan wasn’t either. No one did much of anything for awhile it seemed. We all posed some kick back tails on the tiny ledge. Things cleared out a little and people started doing their stuff. Matt back 50’d the whole long ledge. Nolan did grinds off the qp into the bank. Darin got switch front d on the qp. I took a long time to get a boardslide on the bank to ledge. Fuller 50’d it. Matt had noseslide first try, 10th try, 16th try and 23rd try. Ha. Also an awesome back 50 down the little square rail followed by back tail on the ledge and then a bailed axle stall. Ha ha so good thanks Matt. Nolan got the T-Puds challenge, feeble to back tail x 2. I had some crooks, some bailed kickflips, some slow front 50s. Tried a line for awhile of flip trick up top, noseslide into the bank then front 50 the mini bump to ledge. Got it. 9 club material. I had to get through 8 flip tricks to get the line though. While 8 flip tricks doesn’t sound like much it would happen to be the same amount of flip tricks that Josh did in Seattle the same night. It would be tough for me to deal with knowing he did more then me in one night. Nolan did a cool boardslide cannonball. Darin split. Dave was lining out tricks on the bank to ledge with front board to bennet? grinds on the mini bump to ledge. I think he got it eventually. I tried an ollie challenge. Ollie up a ledge then ollie up another slightly taller ledge. I know it’s slightly hard at least because when Matt did it first try he actually grunted. It wasn’t a fake grunt either, it was real. I would go on to get both ollies although the second was totally an over 40 make. I was actually quite hyped on this though. Dave was the last one skating of course. He always is. 25 days left until 300.
