Went to Longmont park on a cool night and met up with Dave and Aki. The park wasn’t crowded, but the few people that were there made it pretty chaotic. Having a new complete was definitely messing with me. My new wheels and bearings were so smooth and fast I was thrown off. I mostly started doing the same thing I normally do, cali grind off the top ledge, boardslide the ledge, back tail the hip. But I was totally freaked out by the speed for the boardslide. I’m writing this too long after the session to remember much about the session. Aki was skating the tall flatbar and hip. Dave was doing front tails on the bank and lining out shoves over the hip. Aki and I tried 360 flips on flat for awhile, I tried to line them out with a b/s flip over the hip, but never got close. We all ollied the new 4 stair. Aki and Dave first try, me second try (I did land on it first try and almost roll away). That was probably my favorite thing that happened. We skated the hump in the back for awhile. Dave did back tails and disasters on it. Aki and Dave nose manualed the long pad. I took a long time to front d the hump and I felt horrible on my skateboard. Ugh. Aki skated the ledge for awhile, Dave and I skated the mellow bank. I did a few of my basics and managed an over 40 360 flip to fakie. Dave had a nice fakie front shove, fakie flip and I think fakie varial flip. We ended doing flyouts over the cone. It was easy for Aki and Dave, I struggled to barely get one. Aki also back 180’d it and Dave front 180’d it.
