Early morning scooter slalom with very little sleep. @ollie.gillingham handled it better.

Ollie and I had a blast camping, but neither of us slept too well. After a nice breakfast we went to the skatepark. There were some skate lessons going on, it was pretty packed. We cruised around hitting the back area mostly. I haven’t been there since they added on, it’s more fun for sure now. We did some rocks and slashes and stuff on the little tight qp. I tried a line for awhile of noseslide to fakie then switch noseslide shove. I started feeling very clumsy. I went and tried the b/s flip on the steep bank for awhile. I was close initially, then got further away and eventually quit. Ugh. I was so bummed. I did get the noseslide to fakie then switch nose shove line at least. Ollie had been trying the his line for awhile and it all came together within a few tries of the camera coming out. Oh yeah, one funny tidbit from the session. After skate lessons were done several kids went and got scooters. I asked where their skateboards went and a kid said “skateboards lessons are over”. Ugh.
