After chilling and getting some stuff done on a cold Sunday morning I went to BMOCA to meet Rob and Dave. Dave had signed up to film me try a line I wanted to do there. Poor Dave. I got there first and skated the ledge across the street for awhile. Some dog was going nuts barking non-stop and the owner brought the dog over wanting me to teach it how to skateboard. Ugh. Warming up went pretty good though. Flip tricks were working. I think I had a couple mini lines of fakie flip then halfcab noseslide. Also halfcab flip then crooks then almost nollie tre. This is about when Dave and Rob showed up. I was really struggling with frontside grinds on the ledge. I got a few 5-0s that were supposed to be 50s, but they didn’t feel good. Rob got on some crooks right away. Halfcab noseslide, front noseslide. Dave got going on the ledge too. Back 50 where it looked like he was trying nollie shove out after doing a varial flip on flat. I went over and did a few warm up boardslide attempts and then tried kickflips off the curb until Dave was ready to film. The next hour or so was me trying to do 3 basic tricks. Boardslide, kickflip, front 50. The first two went alright. I didn’t land everyone of either, but I was landing them. But the f’ing front 50 killed me every time I got there. There was only one that I locked into, but it stuck. I wanted to try the Helmstetter instead of 50 (front nose 270 out), but that didn’t work either. I was pretty much over it and decided to throw a 360 flip off the curb instead. Two tries later I landed one of the best treflips I’ve done. It felt amazing. The noise that Dave makes when I finally land the line is hilarious. Thanks a million Dave, i think the boardslide then treflip is better anyway so I guess it all worked out.

Then we went over to Saul’s curb which was way more fun than I remember. I did a few slappy crooks, something that hopefully resembled slappy front crooks, 50s and posed kick back tails. Then I filmed Rob and Dave. Rob had some rad slappy crooks to back 50. He also did a rad wallie to manual and later on a front slappy. Dave had a bunch of front slappys, and I filmed him do slappy crooks shove, front shove back 50 and some flatground after. That curb is good. We’ll be back.
