Tired and hungover from the late birthday celebration I just went into the garage for the ol’ manual pad minimum. It was fun.

Day 100 in a row! Morning warmup with Ollie. Such a fun start to the day.

I woke up early on a Saturday where I was supposed to skate with a bunch of people. It was hard to not go skating right away. After awhile I went out with Ollie. We did some dorking around. It was fun. 100 days in a row!

Rob, Fuzz and eventually Jack showed up and we did some manuals and powerslides in the street. It was warm and sunny and awesome.

Rain delay. Best crew.

Then we headed to Evergreen. When we got there Bernie, Garret, Donnie and Riley were already shredding. Nolan showed up right after that and Matt showed up when the rain hit. Some blame him for the rain. Totally valid. The session started fast. It was kind of overwhelming. I did a lot of watching and not a lot of ripping. Everyone there seemed to be skating so good. Rob was busting long lines, Fuzz beat me to backside flip, Nolan had lines covering the entire park that were so insanely good, Garret is getting good, Bernie rules and did a front 180 fakie manual bigspin first try, Jack was chilling with a broken wrist doing perfect kickflips over the hip and huge gaps to tailslide, Donnie can shred everything, Riley did every flip trick there is over the hip with amazing style, I did not skate well at all. I had fun though, I was so stoked to be around so many great people.

Riley won the big game of SKATE. The brackets were: Jack Matt Riley Nolan Fuzz Rob Glen Bernie Garrett Donnie So fun.

It rained. We got food. We came back and had a big game of SKATE. Everyone was sore and full. I played Bernie. We both struggled hard, but it would get me warmed up and I skated the park a little better after that. Riley won the game of SKATE. Everyone kept at it. Matt added one of his textbook treflips over the hip to the long list of tricks done over the hip. It got dark quickly. The session ended with a dork session on the tiny curb high kicker. Nolan tried 360 flip to fakie. A few people did them. Lots of other “dork” tricks went down. I managed the elusive no comply bigger spin as probably the only “good” trick I did all day. River dances, boneless noseblunts, so many more tricks. It was a fun ender. Thanks to everyone who skated, you all rule, I love you all.
