On a windy day with snow melting I was super sore and wanting something mellow. Dave F called out Lafayette and it sounded good. But upon arriving the park was mostly wet. Dave was sweeping out some puddles and snow. The manny pad was dry, but you if you landed an rolled down the bank you went into a danger slippery wet zone. Dave L was manualling it fine. Both Dave’s got nose manny. I never got a manual. Or anything beyond front 50. In fact I couldn’t even do a treflip or halfcab flip on flat. That was the turning point on the 8″ setup with lows. If I can’t land a flip trick every try I’m over it. Then Dave found we could skate the tight qp by ollieing up the curb from the parking lot. I struggled. I never landed more than rock ‘n rolls. I was over the little setup. Dave L had a sick line of manual the median then back tail the tight qp. Sean had arrived by then and so casually kickflip/ollied/halfcabbed up then did front pivot and feeble. Dave did front slashes, feeble fakie (seriously insane) and more I’m not remembering. I had moved over to the weird rock bank and started trying kickflips. Dave L left. Sean and Dave joined me and did several tricks all before I landed the stupid kickflip. Sean learned the rocket crail in a few tries. His ollies on it were magical. Dave’s nollies were so good too. Fun mellow session even though I only landed like two tricks in two hours.
