On a nice day I went to the dog park right after work to meet Rob. I was quite tired and it was a struggle to get it going. We did some manuals. Rob’s were long. Warmed up to start trying kickflips and we played a game of SKATE. I was really struggling. I got to SKAT quickly with front shove, no comply shove and double on backside flip. Argh. Rob was being a gentleman and going for a legit 3 shove to end it, but couldn’t get it. I eventually came back with fakie flip, no comply 360 (can’t believe he didn’t get that one), he got two on halfcab flip and I think it ended on heelflip. After that I did the silly front flip over the bar and then we played with a few tricks. We both tried f/s halfcab heel. I landed on a couple, but didn’t ride away. Rob’s looked really close too. I couldn’t get a treflip, got a bad b/s flip finally. Then it was time to go and celebrate 21 years with the LZA.
