On a warm Friday I had the day off work and the Dave’s and I rolled to this spot. Not really on a specific mission, Fuller was just asking about hip spots and this came to mind. We got there around 10:30 and it was already getting warm. Warming up was not easy for any of us. At first just rolling off the curb was scary because of the crack. Dave L went and got some food. Fuller and I started in on the hip. The number of tricks are pretty low so it may appear we were only there for a bit, but no, we were there for over 3 hours. Ha ha. I got a wallie nollie pretty quick and a rocket flip somewhat quick. But that would literally be all the tricks I landed. I hucked front heels for quite awhile and got somewhat close, but never got me feet on it. Dave F though, man he put down a lot of stuff. Backside flip, back 360, lofty bean plant, cab bigspin (seriously!), halfcab flip and probably a couple more I’m forgetting. I failed at boneless 270 and no comply 270 shove. Dave L had some steezy casual frontside ollies on the mini bump and the hip. He went in on backside bigflip and got pretty close, but couldn’t really commit. He would go on to manual a large portion of the bank. Right at the end Fuller and I skated a different part of the spot, a weird hipish thing into the bank. Dave got a helipop and I battled f/s halfcab flip before giving up defeated again. I was remotely close, but the approach was really throwing me off. All in all a fun day street skating wtih the Dave’s. I need to work on my front heels and go back for that one. Maybe the f/s halfcab flip too.
